About the Company

At Metro Bank, we believe the best banking experience starts with people who genuinely care.
We’re not just delivering banking services - we’re building trust through authentic connections.
Here, our people come first; our colleagues are part of a team that values individuality, collaboration, and long-standing relationships.
We are also all about balance so most of our jobs offer the opportunity for hybrid working built around your role and home life, wherever possible.
We believe in “one in, one up” at Metro Bank, growing our own and promoting from within.
We will give you the training to ensure you succeed in your role and plenty of internal opportunities to progress your career (around 40% of our recruitment comes from internal promotions!).

Equal Opportunity

Diverse teams really are the best teams.
We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box.
We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked.
So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl?
Good luck!
