Retail savings app

Manage your money
with the OakNorth app

Keeping on top of your savings has never been easier. Apply for accounts, personalise your savings goals, move money, and track your interest earnings, all while on the move.

In some ways securing funding from OakNorth was similar to the process with traditional lenders, while in other ways it was refreshingly different. They asked for detailed financial information, both historic and forward-looking, and the lending decisions were committee-based. The most notable differences were speed, transparency and a personalised service.

Anthony Perring, former CFO of LEON
Really helpful accounts; recommended to many people because, if you're like me and struggle with budgeting, then the accounts that OakNorth offers are perfect. I have three accounts with them and use them all – they're super easy to use and the app is just another utility to help with very quick withdrawal. Nothing to lose and much to save!
Phil, OakNorth savings customer
"Their experience gained from working with some of the leading property developers really shone through during the entire lending process, allowing us time to invest in areas where our own expertise and passion can make the most impact."
Kate Lawlor, CEO of Bruntwood SciTech
"OakNorth went above and beyond what was required, and I have no doubt that their bespoke facility will help us deliver our exciting growth plans going forward.”
Adrienne Cherrywood, Headteacher and Proprietor of Cressey College
This is the third time we’ve chosen OakNorth Bank as our funding partner and there’s a reason we keep returning to them – the team is collaborative, constructive, and commercial. There’s no broad-brush assumptions or computer-says-no decisions.
Ali Reza Ravanshad, Chairman and Founder of Dandi Group
