Allica Bank

Our team has had a great time partnering with Elsby Chartered Accountants in Northampton and opening business current accounts for their clients ?? With over 30 years' experience across various sectors, Elsby & Co often faced communication challenges with banks. Earlier this year, Allica Bank introduced a dedicated partnerships team to provide tailored support to accountants and their clients, bridging this gap.? ? Claire Emery, Managing Director commented: “At?Elsby & Co we are?consistently impressed with Allica Bank’s outstanding communication and efficient responses to our clients' needs. Their personalised service ensures our clients feel supported, and we trust that Allica Bank always has their best interests at heart. Allica Bank shares our values of doing the right thing, investing in the future, and striving to make a difference, which makes our collaboration truly rewarding.”? ? Chris Webster, Partnerships Manager?at Allica, added: “We understand the importance of prompt, clear communication and really getting to know our partners’ needs. We're proud to support Elsby & Co, empowering them to provide their clients with better business banking.”? ? #accountantsspotlight #accountants #businessbanking?

?? ??? “Lenders often don’t have the right expertise to offer security technology businesses the debt finance they need to grow,” according to Sam L., Director of Debt Advisory Heligan Group. This can slow growth and causes frustration. However, after connecting with Allica Bank’s Jon Bennett, Sam and the Heligan team say they have been delighted to work with “an experienced lender who can look at each finance application individually”. Thanks to Sam and Jon’s strong relationship, Allica were able to provide a multi-million pound debt finance facility to one of Heligan Group's portfolio companies, Interrupt Labs. The company, headquartered in Basingstoke, now plans to almost double its headcount, grow into the US and launch new products in existing markets. To learn more about Interrupt and Heligan’s story – “a real boost to the cybersecurity sector at a time when it sorely needs it,” according to Sam – check out the story below. https://lnkd.in/g2WVPnyK #cybersecurity #technology #businessbanking

Mahesh also founded (and is still one of the leads in) our Diversity & Belonging Forum, helping us create an environment in which everyone at Allica can thrive and feel seen, heard and accepted. ? He’s a shining example to all of us and we’re so proud to call him our colleague. We’ll leave you with some sage advice from Mahesh’s feature on the Powerlist: ? ?? “Fintech needs diverse thought and ideas to innovate, grow and develop. That can only happen if we are represented across the sector at all levels and contribute to that sense of belonging.” #fintech #PrideInFinTech #LGBTQInTech

In particular, Karen Barrett, Founder and CEO at Unbiased – the UK’s leading marketplace for financial advice – who won the headline Great British Entrepreneur of the Year 2024 award! ??

We’re proud to partner with accountancy firm Charterwells Accountants in London. ?? Charterwells are approaching their 15th year, and they're stronger than ever with their commitment to helping SMEs. ? Mitul Pandya, Managing Director at Charterwells, shared: “We are delighted to partner with Allica Bank. Their true hands-on support for our SME clients is what makes the biggest difference for us, together with the great rates of returns and simplicity of setting up and running the account.”? ? Agata Rinkeviciute said: “It’s been great to get to know Charterwells, helping them add value to their clients. When I firstly spoke with Mitul and his team, they shared how other banks had slowly removed their relationship managers, leaving many of their clients without any support. We’re happy to fix that and bring back the dedicated support to Charterwells and their clients, to unlock new growth opportunities.” Kamil D.
