A brand new UK financial institution has been introduced today after undergoing a significant rebranding. JN Bank UK has now transformed into This Bank, stylized as thisbank, and has relaunched with a variety of savings products. This Bank is offering an easy-access account with a competitive interest rate of 3.82%, surpassing the average rate of 2.45% for easy-access accounts in the market.
In comparison, Chase is offering a rate of 4.5% exclusively for new customers, comprising a 2.25% variable rate along with a 12-month introductory bonus rate of 2.25%. This Bank also provides fixed savings accounts ranging from one to five years.
The one-year fixed account offered by This Bank yields 3.99%, while the leading rate for a one-year fixed account elsewhere currently stands at 4.55% from Marcus. Deposits starting from a minimum of £1 up to a maximum of £500,000 can be made with This Bank.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme safeguards savings up to £120,000 at This Bank. Notably, This Bank does not provide current accounts and does not operate physical branches.
Chris Waring, the CEO, previously associated with Lloyds and Barclays, expressed the bank’s commitment to prioritizing customers and ensuring direct communication with them. Waring stated that This Bank’s focus is on delivering customer-centric savings rates, investing in unique assets, and emphasizing the human aspect of banking over mere numbers.
Declan Halton-Woodward, Chief Transformation Officer, highlighted This Bank’s customer-centric approach, ensuring that clients always have direct access to the bank’s representatives. Despite being technology-driven, This Bank maintains a customer-first philosophy.
Originally established in 2019, JN Bank launched its initial savings products in 2020. Currently, the bank serves approximately 65,000 customers and holds deposits totaling around £600 million.
For individuals seeking flexibility, easy-access savings accounts enable withdrawals at any time, although some providers may impose limits on annual withdrawals. Notice accounts require advance notice for withdrawals, while fixed-rate accounts typically restrict withdrawals until the end of the term.
ISA, or Individual Savings Account, earnings are tax-free, allowing individuals to deposit up to £20,000 annually across their ISA accounts.
