A new corporate Santander office will open in Lincoln’s Cornhill next month after a £400,000 investment.
The international bank’s new office, which will be located on the first and second floor of 19 Cornhill (formerly Ambitions Personnel), will be the first corporate office Santander has opened in the city.
As an addition to the existing Santander branch on Cornhill, the office will deal with corporate sales of over £250,000, growing its support for businesses both locally and internationally.
The refurbishment has been ongoing over the summer and now the premises is looking to open mid-October.
The new office will support up to 12 staff, who will be transferred from other branches to allow the bank to provide a full range of commercial services.
Stephen May, Relationship Director at Santander said: “With the opening of this new corporate office, we can improve the support that we provide to existing customers and increase support for additional business growth both locally, in the domestic market, and internationally.
“Our key market focus for Santander will be in manufacturing and export. We will be providing the full range of commercial banking services including: asset finance, invoice finance, international trade finance and commercial mortgages.”
