Thanks to the latest development at Skipton International, people can now manage their savings with greater ease following the launch ofanew online banking platform, Skipton International Online.

The online platform will allow customers to access Skipton’s competitive savings products from across the Channel Islands or from around the globe as more of us look to manage our savings on the move.

The portal can be accessed 24 hours a day, allowing customers to make payments and internal transfers, view transaction history and open new accounts at their convenience. The portal also has the benefit of paperless communications, so rather than having to wait for communications in the post you will be able to view and download these instantly online at your convenience, while also helping the environment.

For those who value our customer service either face to face or over the telephone, these options will still be available for your banking requirements, and we would welcome anyone who wishes to drop by or call our Tudor House office in Guernsey to talk to one of customer services representatives. We all communicate differently so the online portal adds a further channel for those who wish to use it. Skipton’s managing director Jim Coupe said: ‘This is an important development for Skipton as it makes our services and products more accessible to everyone. As a Guernsey bank we offer some of the most competitive offshore savings interest rates and are renowned for our outstanding level of personal customer service. Now, with Skipton Online, we can offer these important aspects of banking to even more customers in the Channel Islands and around the globe.

‘We hope that Skipton International Online will further strengthen our award-winning customer service and the fantastic relationship we have built with our customers.’

Skipton has received a Gold Trusted Service Award from customer review platform Feefo for the past three years and we are keen to maintain this high level of care and attention. Our approach has always been to put our customers’ needs first, listening to feedback and taking the time to understand what it is you want from a bank.

Our continued work within the community through the Skipton Community Fund, the Skipton Swimarathon and our projects with Arthouse Jersey gives us greater opportunity to connect with customers and community organisations, giving back to those who need it most within the Channel Islands.

As a community-focused bank, we are proud to be celebrating ten years of operating across the Channel Islands in 2020, helping more individuals manage their savings, get onto the property ladder through our mortgages and upholding the values that make the Channel Islands a truly spectacular place to live and work.

Life is complicated enough, so we hope this new development is just one more way we can make things easier for you and provide greater flexibility to your savings.
