Chetwood Bank has appointed Ben Mitchell as director of savings, as it looks to grow its saving operations in tandem with the expansion of its mortgage business.
Mitchell (pictured) has over 25 years’ experience in retail banking and financial services, having held senior positions at SilverRock Bank as head of products and at Tandem Bank as director of savings.
He also has board-level experience within the higher education and charity sectors, bringing a broad perspective on both product development and strategic management.
This new role will see Mitchell driving Chetwood Bank’s commitment to delivering “customer-centric” savings products that support both the financial wellbeing of its customers and the long-term growth plans for the Bank.
Chetwood Bank currently offers savings products alongside its two specialist buy-to-let mortgage propositions – ModaMortgages and CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries – and has a balance sheet worth over £4bn.
Mitchell said: “I’m excited to join Chetwood Bank at this point in its growth journey. This is a digital challenger bank that has established itself as a competitive force in the savings market, and I look forward to working with the team to build on this success.
“Our goal is to offer customers great savings products with the best possible experience, ensuring their financial needs are met with no nonsense and no jargon.”
Paul Noble, CEO of Chetwood Bank, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Ben to the team. His vast savings experience will be hugely valuable as we continue to grow and enhance our savings proposition.
“His leadership will help us build on our strong foundation, ensuring we remain a top choice for savers looking for competitive rates and a frictionless digital experience.”
