FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Whether you're exploring our services or already bank with us, you'll find answers to the most common questions here.

 

What size of companies does Investec typically work with?

Investec corporate banking works with private companies with an annual turnover of £25m+. These are businesses that have moved beyond the early growth stage and need a relationship-focused banking partner. If you are unsure whether your business fits, the best starting point is a conversation with one of our relationship managers.

How is Investec’s approach different from a high street bank?

At Investec, we focus on delivering an experience in corporate banking that feels like private banking. The most significant difference is how the relationship works. Every corporate banking client has a dedicated and empowered relationship manager who knows your business, your sector and your balance sheet. Rather than fitting your needs to a standard product set, we build solutions around what your business actually requires. And because our relationship managers work with a deliberately small number of clients, they have the time to stay genuinely close, through the everyday and the transformational moments.

Does my company get a dedicated Investec relationship manager?

Yes. Every Investec corporate banking client has a dedicated relationship manager. You will know them by name, and they will know your business in depth: your sector, your operating pressures, and where you are headed. They are your primary point of contact and your advocate within the bank, responsible for bringing the right expertise around you to meet your ambition.

What sectors does Investec corporate banking specialise in?

Investec corporate banking typically focuses on private companies within the following sectors:

  • Businesses services
  • Consumer
  • Digital, technology & communications
  • Healthcare, pharma & life sciences
  • Manufacturing, industrials, transport & capital goods
  • Professionals & funds

Across the Investec group, and for sponsor-backed and listed companies, we work across a broader range of sectors.

What happens if my needs change as the business grows?

Your Investec relationship manager remains your primary contact as your business grows. If your requirements change, Investec will adapt solutions around your ambition, including lending, treasury, risk management and advisory services. And if you need support beyond your business, Investec can also help with private banking and wealth management.

Can Investec help with personal wealth as well as corporate banking?

Yes. Investec offers private banking and wealth management services alongside corporate banking. We can support business owners with banking, succession planning, business exits, mortgages and personal lending, with the same relationship-focused approach.
