C. Hoare & Co.

Founded in 1672, C. Hoare & Co. is the UK’s oldest privately owned bank, owned by the Hoare family for 12 generations.

The partners’ unlimited liability and conservative attitude to risk means the bank is always liquid and well capitalised: this underlies the bank’s reputation as a safe haven in troubled times. Its small size supports deeply personalised customer service characterised by nimble decision making and bespoke lending.

 With a long history of social impact, the bank donates up to ten per cent of annual profits to charitable causes through its Golden Bottle Trust and supports customers’ philanthropy through its pioneering donor advised fund, the Master Charitable Trust.
