Metro Bank, founded in 2010 as the first new high‑street bank to open in the UK in over a century, was created to bring a more customer‑focused and relationship‑driven approach to banking. Since opening its first store in Holborn, Metro Bank has remained committed to providing human, accessible, community‑based banking with a strong emphasis on service, simplicity and long‑term customer relationships.
Building on these principles, our Corporate Deputyship Banking service has been developed to support professional deputies, appointees, and organisations managing complex financial responsibilities on behalf of vulnerable individuals. We recognise that deputyship requires precision, transparency and dependable support — and our offering has been designed to meet those needs with consistency and care.
Our dedicated Corporate Deputyship Banking team provides specialist guidance throughout onboarding and ongoing account management, ensuring deputies receive clarity, confidence, and trusted expertise at every stage. We can open fully transactional bank accounts for new cases within 48 hours, enabling deputies to act quickly and efficiently when court orders are granted or urgent financial decisions are required.
Each deputy or appointee case is supported with its own stand‑alone transactional account, offering full visibility, improved auditability, and secure financial oversight. With a specialist support team behind every case, deputies have direct access to knowledgeable professionals who understand the nuances and demands of Court of Protection and Appointeeship work.
At Metro Bank, our mission is simple: to make deputyship banking seamless, reliable, and supported by real people who care — so deputies can focus on delivering the best possible outcomes for the individuals in their care.
