Customer testimonials and case studies
Read what our customers say about our service:
'Common-sense approach' - Lakes Distillery
"In the past, it has been difficult for us to secure an asset-based facility due to the complexities of the whisky market. Secure Trust Bank took the time to understand our business model and was able to take a flexible and common-sense approach to the lending criteria. They understood that the value of our whisky stock increases over time, meaning that the facility can grow as our business expands."
David Robinson, Chief Financial Officer, Lakes Distillery
