We signed the Armed Forces Covenant in 2019 because we’re dedicated to supporting current and former military members, and their families, in serving our country.
We understand how challenging military life can be, so our products and services are designed to make managing your finances simple and easy – no matter where you are in the world.
From little things like accepting BFPO addresses, to storing your valuables in safe deposit boxes, we’re here to help our military community in any way we can.
Nothing should stop you buying your first home. We support the Forces Help to Buy scheme and also allow up to four applicants – so if you’re called away during the process, the others can continue on your behalf. You can apply to let your Metro Bank mortgaged property out if you need to leave it for periods of time, for example when you’re away on training or serving abroad.
Providing support with financial education is important to us, and we’d love to bring our financial education programme to your cadet groups, units, and barracks. There’s no need to leave camp – just contact us on 0345 0808 500 and we’ll arrange a visit.
We’re always looking to hire service leavers and Reservists. As a community bank, we know you can bring a range of vital skills to our customers and colleagues.
For us, it's more than just experience. We know that military personnel have a great approach to learning and adapting.
Our people-people team will be there for you from the very first step in your application process, providing you with personalised advice right through to the very end. Any veteran or service leaver who is interested in working at Metro Bank will receive a one-to-one phone call to discuss their CV, as well as interview guidance to ensure they feel prepared.
If you’re a Reservist or a Adult Cadet Forces volunteer, we’ll also give you an additional ten days of leave to use for your training or to support your Cadets.
We know changing careers can be daunting, but in the first few months of your new job you'll receive support from our former-military and reservist network.
We're also partnered with PTSD Resolution, Vitality and Hugh James LLP to make sure we can support our colleagues effectively.
