Barclays appointee to lead mortgages, savings and insurance

Published on

Barclays UK has announced the appointment of Jatin Patel to its executive team, where he will oversee the bank’s mortgages, savings, and insurance divisions, effective immediately.

Patel (pictured) brings over 20 years of experience in retail financial services, having held leadership roles at TSB Bank, Lloyds, and Hastings Group.

Most recently, he served as chief commercial, digital and marketing officer at Hastings Group, where he led the company’s global retail business.

Vim Maru, CEO of Barclays UK, said: “Jatin brings a strong track record of delivering customer-centric propositions and driving change.

“We’re excited to welcome him at this important time as we continue to grow in our home market.”

Patel replaces Mark Arnold, who is retiring after two years of leadership at Barclays UK and seven years as CEO of Kensington Mortgages.

Under Arnold’s leadership, the bank achieved strong growth in mortgage applications, record-breaking ISA seasons, and improved customer satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Allison Buckley, previously operations director at Kensington Mortgages, has stepped into the CEO role at Kensington and will report to Patel.
