HBI Group

Business banking

From first invoice to first hundred staff

Business

A bank that reads your interim financial statements

Banking for owner-managed and mid-market businesses: accounts that settle quickly, credit assessed on operating history, and a banker who answers.

Business banking at HBI starts from how you trade. We look at cash conversion, customer quality and the people running the business, not only at what could be pledged as security.

From the Growth tier upward you deal with a named banker who knows your file. They have a direct line and a published response time, and they stay with the relationship as the business grows.

How we work

Credit assessed on how you trade

We read your interim financial statements and bank statements, not just your balance sheet. A business with strong cash conversion and little collateral can still qualify.

Where the numbers do not work, we say so and explain what would change the answer, rather than stretching the term until the payment fits.

  • Working capital, asset and real estate finance under one facility structure
  • Dual authorization on payments as the default, not an upgrade
  • Accounting integrations with daily feeds to QuickBooks, Xero and NetSuite

Good to know

How we look after you

Controls come switched on

Dual authorization, account verification and user permissions are the default on business profiles. You choose to relax them; you do not have to remember to add them.

Your data feeds your books

Daily statement feeds run to QuickBooks, Xero and NetSuite, and reconciliation files are available for anything else, so month end starts from matched figures.

Decisions come with reasons

When we decline or reduce a facility we explain why and what would change the answer, so the next application is a better one.
