We are driven only by our customers\, delivering personally tailored service and solutions to suit their demands. Because we are not target driven\, we can take a long-term view\, investing time to get to know our customers\, their needs and ambitions. Handelsbanken?s decentralised model has been core to its success\, with each branch operating as a local business. Our customers benefit from dealing with people they know ? experienced bankers who understand the local market\, and from swift\, clear decisions made within the branch.\n\nThis approach has helped Handelsbanken to come top in an independent satisfaction survey for UK personal and business banking customers for ten years running (EPSI Rating\, October 2018).\n\n \n\nHandelsbanken was founded in Sweden in 1871 and has almost 800 branches worldwide\, with over 200 of those in Great Britain\, supporting local communities with their personal and business banking needs. Handelsbanken Taunton opened in 2010\, and we have recently invested in expanding the branch in order to meet continued growing demand from customers across Somerset.\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\nHandelsbanken is the trading name of Handelsbanken plc\, which is incorporated in England and Wales with company number 11305395.
