Weatherbys Banking Group

Founded in 1770, Weatherbys is a family run business that has evolved over the last 250 years to become a group of companies which include Weatherbys Private Bank and Weatherbys Racing Bank.

Our business is founded on relationships, and we are focussed on providing exceptional levels of personal service. As a team we not only anticipate our clients’ needs, but aim to surpass their individual expectations. Our values of being trustworthy, forward looking and acting with integrity underpin everything we do.

At Weatherbys, there is a genuine focus on providing the highest level of personal service and maintaining close relationships with all our clients. We not only look after our clients but also their families, many of whom have valued our support for generations.

We treat all our clients as individuals, regardless of gender or background and our Weatherbys Inspires initiative highlights that our services are a natural fit for all. We want to do all we can to encourage everyone to engage in their family or individual finances, in particular women. Weatherbys Private Bank is a bank where our female clients are met with trust, empathy and understanding – underpinned by the service excellence we have always extended to all our clients.
