A bank you can walk into, and never have to
West Finance Trust was built on a simple idea: the safest way to start a banking relationship is in person, and the most convenient way to run it is online.
Why we open accounts in person
Most banks let anyone open an account from a phone in minutes. That’s convenient, and it’s also how fraudsters open accounts in other people’s names.
We take a different route. You meet one of our team, we check your identity properly, and we set up your online banking together. It takes one visit or one phone call.
After that, everything happens online: payments, transfers, savings and card controls, whenever you need them. And when you want to talk to someone, the person who opened your account is still here.
What we stand for
Four principles that shape every product we offer.
People first
Every relationship starts with a conversation, not a sign-up form.
Plain language
Fees, rates and terms written so you understand them the first time.
Fair pricing
No monthly fees on everyday accounts and no charges designed to catch you out.
Secure by default
Two-step login, alerts and card controls switched on from day one.
