About
ANSA Bank / Making banking less formal & more enjoyable
The days of standing in line and waiting to be served at a bank branch are over. Time is precious! So managing your banking business through a handy personalised App on your phone or through our equally agile website on your computer has been developed and is now readily available.
You may argue that our competitors already offer this service. You would be wrong. Currently, all digital banking offered on the Island is an unnecessary hybrid mix of traditional and digital banking. We have gone one massive step further.
Our ANSA Bank App offers tailor-made advice and support. Enabling our customers to manage their finances easier and effectively without making unnecessary contact with us at the bank. We want to 'unthink banking', making financial management smarter and our clients' experience less stressful and more pleasurable.
Another essential part of our new pioneering ANSA Bank approach is the function we have given our physical branches. These ANSA Bank Points have been designed to stimulate visitors to rethink traditional banking. The space, or points, will feel more like a lounge than a bank. The crew who greet customers will be different from what they would expect. We focus on being valued as a place where customers can get help and become more digitally savvy. Some transactional services will remain, but the overriding focus will be that the new ANSA Bank will be perceived as being 'digital first'.
In short: the new ANSA Bank helps our customers gain control over their own finances. Instantly bringing banking on the Islands into the modern era.
