* This firm is no longer authorised.
** In January 2018, Tandem Money Limited acquired the entity previously named Harrods Bank Limited (‘HBL’) and changed HBL’s name to ‘Tandem Bank Limited’. The entity now known as Tandem Bank Limited has therefore been authorised since prior to 2010. However we include reference to Tandem Bank Limited in the list above because Tandem Money Limited was granted authorisation as a start-up bank in 2015. Tandem Money Limited no longer holds a deposit-taking permission.
The New Bank Start-up Unit pages on our website provide information and support for those thinking of setting up a new bank in the UK.
