Conister Bank celebrates 85th birthday

Fri, 11 Dec 2020


Conister Bank is celebrating its 85th birthday!

Over the decades it has remained an Isle of Man constant in the face of a number of global financial crises, a world war and this year’s coronavirus pandemic, and aims to continue doing so in the future, whatever that may hold.

The bank recently set aside £10 million to provide loans of up to £500,000 for businesses negatively impacted by the coronavirus and the cancellation of the TT.

Managing Director Douglas Grant said: ‘Our actions earlier in the year are reflective of the direction we are taking.

‘We want to take responsibility for future generations and be an active part of the solution to whatever challenges arise.’

He added: ‘In 2021 we will demonstrate our commitment to increasing awareness by encouraging our staff and the wider community to help bring about a more climate-friendly economy.’#

Conister Bank began life in the Isle of Man as Conister Trust in 1935, when George V was on the throne and the prototype of the Spitfire was built.
