We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can be themselves and succeed.Our story: OakNorth Bank was built on the foundations of frustrations with old-school banking. In 2005, when our founders tried to get capital for their data analytics company, the computer said ‘no’. The industry was backward-looking and too focused on historic financials, rather than future potential. So, what if there was a bank, founded by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs? One that offered a dramatically better borrowing experience for businesses? No more what ifs, OakNorth Bank exists.For more information regarding our Privacy Policy and practices, please visit: https://oaknorth.co.uk/legal/privacy-notice/employees-and-visitors/Details
