How this list is drawn

A lender appears here when its published lending area names Northern Ireland, or when it lends only there. Lenders that cover England, Scotland and Wales but exclude Northern Ireland, or do not say, are not listed. Each lending-area statement was read by hand.

What to know

Northern Ireland has its own legal jurisdiction and land registry, and some lenders that describe themselves as UK-wide lend only in Great Britain as a result. The lenders below say they lend in Northern Ireland, across corporate lending, asset-based finance and property.

Danske Bank, Ulster Bank, AIB (NI) and Bank of Ireland UK are Northern Ireland's main business banks, with local relationship teams. The Northern Ireland Investment Fund lends only there. The other lenders below lend in Northern Ireland as part of a wider UK book, some only for particular products.
