In 2011 he was seconded to Guernsey for 3 years as a Senior Relationship Manager within the bank’s Commercial Banking department, before returning to the Isle of Man in 2014. Colin has undertaken various roles within banking including business development, commercial lending, foreign exchange and liquidity management.

Our principal loan offerings include residential mortgages, buy-to-let and bridging loans.
We review each application on its merits and utilising a locally based credit committee, decisions can be made quickly, ensuring a smooth and efficient lending process.
Our loans are typically priced utilising a competitive interest margin over the Cayman National's Base Rate (which will vary from time to time). The actual interest margin applied to each loan will vary depending upon a number of risk based factors.
Please note; The Bank does not provide regulated mortgage contract loans in respect of UK property and therefore can only offer residential mortgages to Isle of Man residents. Loans will be secured by a first legal charge over property, or other comparable security, which will be subject to an independent professional valuation. Applicants must be aged 18 or over to be able to apply for a loan from the Bank. Changes to Base will impact upon the amount of the repayments payable by you and may therefore impact adversely on your ability to afford the loan repayments. All loan application approvals are conditional on meeting our standard credit criteria and will be subject to eligibility, status and financial standing. Buy to let loans are typically offered for a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 15 years. Residential mortgages are typically offered for a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 25 years. In both cases, arrangement drawdown and early redemption fees may apply, together with early repayment interest penalties. Insurance will also be provided.
The unauthorised borrowing interest rate will be applied on any accounts that are overdrawn without the Bank's prior approval, or where an agreed facility has been exceeded (unless we have agreed a separate rate with our customer). Our loans are normally secured by way of a first legal charge against residential or commercial properties located in the Isle of Man or UK, depending upon the Applicant's eligibility and the type of facility requested:
