* 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.
Prior to 1 April 2013 applications to become a bank were processed by the Financial Services Authority (‘FSA’). Firms that were authorised by the FSA include: GE Capital Bank Limited *, Metro Bank Plc, OneSavings Ltd, and Virgin Money.
