For more than 120 years, Harrods Bank has formed an integral part of the life of Harrods. Throughout this time we have remained true to our heritage: a commitment to attentive care and discreet personal service. The ‘Banking Department’ of Harrods department store opened for business in 1893, offering customers of the Victorian age a place to transact their financial affairs with comfort and convenience while visiting Knightsbridge. The ethos of the bank, then as now, was to extend the customer service and experience for which the store had become renowned to the provision of banking services. In 1988 we became Harrods Bank Ltd, the name under which we continue to trade today. We are an independently managed, private bank, authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority. In 2014, the Bank relocated to the Second Floor of the store, to a more inviting and less formal space better suited to delivering exceptional personal service to the customer of today.
