Recognise Bank

“It was great to be a part of Recognise Bank’s first deal in Wales, and I have no doubt this will be the first of many as we continue to strengthen our relationship.”

“The deal was an excellent one for our clients. Recognise Bank’s hands-on approach throughout the entire process really impressed us. Our clients were delighted with the outcome.”

“We are delighted to have completed on this purchase and to have successfully concluded our first transaction with Recognise Bank. We are grateful to them and to our finance broker, GDP Funding, for their professionalism throughout the transaction and look forward to expanding our relationship on future deals.”

“While it was our first engagement with Recognise Bank, we can’t wait to work with the bank again. It’s great to see a new bank able to support ever larger opportunities with its growth strategy and appetite.”

“This is an exciting project and Recognise Bank was able to structure and support our client’s green-centred development in Cambridgeshire. The key to success was its team, who combined experience, dynamism, speed and flexibility.”

“Ian was a great start to the process and really helped me. He’s a credit to the company. Jasdip was nothing but brilliant throughout the process. He didn’t just keep me up to date, he went the extra mile and cared, which is probably more than what he is asked to do. He allowed me time to learn about the whole process and was just great to deal with.”

“Our client needed a lender who could move swiftly and adopt a flexible approach. Recognise Bank was the perfect choice. Working closely with the client and the Recognise team, we successfully met the tight timescale. This collaboration will continue as the properties sell and the loan is redeemed.’’”

“I’ve been extremely impressed by the team at Recognise Bank and their ability to make a swift commercial decision, backed by prompt funding and I will definitely be using them again on our more complex bridging finance enquiries.”

“The key requirement in this case was certainty of completion within the timeframe available. Recognise understood that from the outset and worked closely with us throughout the process to address the outstanding points and keep the refinance moving. “The team took a pragmatic approach to the transaction and delivered the funding the client needed to repay the existing lender on time.”

“Many thanks to the team at Recognise for their support.”

Their approach made a real difference to the client, who can now push forward with their next project. It was a smooth process and a positive outcome for everyone involved.”

“Our client needed to find a lender who would not only make a quick decision, but one that could grasp and fully understand the risks surrounding the wait for planning. This was whilst also recognising the positives and upsides of the deal, which ultimately mitigated these risks. The team at Recognise Bank did all this and enabled the funding to quickly happen with little fuss. As a first-time broker to the bank, their efficiency and knowledge gives me immense confidence when I undoubtedly introduce my next deal to them.”

“The team at Recognise Bank were clear and responsive throughout, working collaboratively to ensure the deal progressed efficiently and completed within a tight timeframe.”

“This transaction had several moving parts, but the team at Recognise Bank quickly understood the client’s objectives and worked with real agility to deliver a smooth result. Their collaborative approach and clear communication were key to getting this deal over the line. We’re delighted with the outcome and so is the client. We look forward to working with Mike, Steve and the team again.”

““Recognise Bank was decisive from the outset and worked closely with us throughout the process. Their practical approach and clear communication helped keep the deal moving and gave the client the certainty it needed to complete the acquisition within a matter of weeks.””

Their professional and proactive approach has been crucial, our mutual client was delighted with the service received and we look forward to working together again in the future.”

“This was a nuanced deal involving a mix of listed and more modern buildings, alongside planning considerations that required a lender willing to take a pragmatic view. Recognise Bank understood the opportunity and worked collaboratively to structure a facility that gives the borrower the time and certainty needed to deliver their plans.”

The Recognise Bank team crafted a bespoke solution, provided timely responses and maintained great communication throughout. We look forward to working with the team again in the future.”

“It has been a pleasure to work with Paul, Stephen and the Recognise lending team.

We greatly appreciate their speed, communication and flexible approach, in particular given the added difficulties around the Christmas period. We look forward to building on our relationship with them in the future.”

“This was our first completed deal with Recognise Bank and the process was straightforward throughout. The team understood the urgency of the funding and stayed close to the detail from start to finish. This enabled the clients to proceed with both the renovation and their wider business plans without delay.”

“Recognise Bank brought exactly the kind of insight and responsiveness our client needed in order to navigate a complex brief. Ian and the team demonstrated a clear understanding of both the challenges and potential of the deal. Their collaborative and agile approach helped us to deliver a strong outcome – and a very happy client. We look forward to working with Recognise again in the future.”

“The estate has been part of our family for generations, so it was important to work with a lender that understood both the history of the business and what we are trying to achieve next. We appreciated the practical approach taken by Luke, John and the wider team, and the certainty they provided throughout the process.”

“As a new broker to Recognise Bank, this was a strong first experience. Heather and the lending team were engaged from the outset, understood the risks attached to the planning strategy, and were clear on what was needed to progress the deal. That made a real difference to the outcome for the client.”
