Clydesdale Bank International comes top in open vote
Guernsey News, 8 February 2010 – Clydesdale Bank International has been voted the Best Fixed Rate Deposit Provider in the Investment International Awards 2009.
More than 800 of the publication’s readers voted in the annual awards, which had no set nominees.
Every bank in Europe was therefore a potential winner, with Guernsey-based Clydesdale Bank International totalling the most votes for the category.
Investment International is a financial publication and its awards are an opportunity for consumers to have their say with absolutely no guidance, suggestions or influence from the publication itself.
Investment International managing director, Ramesh Sharma, said:
“The awards were started more than 20 years ago to give a voice to consumers, and allow them to place judgment on service standards. It has been a difficult year for everyone, and it is especially gratifying to see Clydesdale Bank International emerge as a company that has stood out amongst our readership.”
The bank was set up in Guernsey last year and despite opening in challenging times, it has managed to buck market trends. Deposits reached £1 billion in September 2009 and it continues to display capital strength and stability.
Managing director of Clydesdale Bank International, James Blower, said: “It really is brilliant to be recognised in this way, especially as we are a relatively young bank. We have traditional service ethics and treat each of our customers, or members, very personally. I think this ethos is one of the reasons for our success. We have a fantastic team here and I’m thrilled that our members have recognised them for their hard work.”
