SVB UK - 14 years of supporting and growing the UK innovation economy


For 14 years, Silicon Valley Bank UK (SVB UK) has been supporting the UK innovation ecosystem, becoming the partner of choice for start-ups, scale-ups, venture capitalists and private equity firms. Our expertise and deep relationships helped us build a growing, profitable business. SVB UK continued to service clients through Friday, following events impacting our former parent company in the US, the UK Government worked to find us a financially strong and stable partner. We continue to serve our clients as usual.

SVB UK is delighted to be part of a new successful global organisation with the international reach of HSBC to fuel our growth. You can read HSBC’s letter to our customers here, outlining why they believe SVB UK has great customers, great people, and great potential.  

We’ve had numerous conversations with HSBC’s senior leadership over the past two days. It’s clear they want us to protect the focus and specialism of the SVB UK team, while leveraging HSBC’s capabilities and strength to further enhance our market-leading proposition.

We would like to thank all our clients, partners and everyone who made it clear they want SVB UK to continue to play a leading role in supporting the UK tech sector and innovation economy.
