Our history

Skipton International was established in Guernsey in 2009, following the merger of Skipton Guernsey and Scarborough Channel Islands.

Today, we offer a range of offshore savings accounts and are one of the Channel Islands’ leading mortgage lenders, helping customers with their savings and property ambitions both locally and internationally. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of the Skipton Group, which includes Skipton Building Society and Connells. With offices in Guernsey and Jersey, we combine local presence with international reach.

Since our formation, we have expanded our offering and built an award-winning reputation for service, specialist lending and community support. We now serve customers in more than 100 countries and have become a significant provider of UK Buy-To-Let mortgages for expats and non-UK residents. We are also proud of the role we play in supporting local communities, including through affordable housing initiatives, charitable giving and sustainability commitments across the Channel Islands.
