In a year where UK businesses have faced rising costs and tighter margins, we’ve been recognised as the ‘UK’s best business savings’ provider, helping businesses stay resilient and competitive.
We’ve won two awards, Business & SME Savings Provider of the Year and Best Easy Access Business & SME Savings in the MoneyNet Personal Finance Awards 2026.
This isn’t just another shiny new industry award for us (although we’re getting used to those). Receiving the ‘Double Gold’ for winning Business & SME Savings Provider of the Year category for the second-year running is recognition of our role in setting the standard in business savings.
Offering our best-ever range, described as ‘fiercely competitive’ by the chair of judges, our savings accounts really do mean business.
Designed around the demanding cash flow and seasonal fluctuation needs of ambitious firms, our accounts can be opened and managed easily online with UK-based support, without sacrificing access.
Andrew Hagger, Personal Finance Expert and Chair of the Moneynet Awards Judging Panel said:
Hampshire Trust Bank has once again been fiercely competitive across a range of savings product areas during the last 12 months. Having been consistently at the top end of the MoneyNet best buy tables, HTB fully deserves the ‘Double Gold’ accolade for winning the prestigious ‘Business & SME Savings Provider of The Year’ category for the second-year running. The range of top savings rates across short-, medium- and longer-term business savings products delivers a perfect mix of great value savings for SME and business customers across the UK.
Stuart Hulme, Managing Director of Savings said:
It means a great deal to be seen as the UK’s best business savings provider for the second year in a row. Businesses are choosing HTB for their savings and, looking ahead to 2026, our high standards and even higher rates are going nowhere. What an incredible way to kick off the year. Throughout 2026, we’ll keep strengthening our support for SMEs to ensure they have the tools to thrive, from great rates to innovative accounts that save time and money.
