Paragon reaches £5 billion deposit milestone for savings accounts

Paragon’s award-winning Savings division has reached £5 billion in deposits, four years after launching its first savings products.

The specialist bank has gone from strength to strength, winning four high-profile consumer awards and becoming a regular in Best Buy tables for UK savers.

Customer deposits are pumped back into the economy by Paragon, to support small businesses and entrepreneurs across the UK through everything from asset finance loans to property development finance that is helping to address the housing shortage.

Richard Doe, Managing Director - Savings at Paragon, said:

This is another milestone for the savings side of the business and we feel honoured that in a short time so many people have trusted us with their savings. We have not only reached £5 billion in deposits but also become a trusted name with consumers who want consistency. That matters to us as a smaller, specialist bank that cares about its customers.

We also feel proud that money from our savings accounts can fund a wide variety of businesses and play a part in supporting Britain’s economy.
