Recognise Bank has surpassed £500m in lending after growing its loan book by more than 45% over the past 12 months.
The bank said deposits had also exceeded £600m, as it reported continued demand for its relationship-led lending model.
The milestone follows the opening of its new Milton Keynes operations centre.
Recognise Bank provides residential and commercial bridging finance, as well as commercial mortgages, to SMEs and property professionals across the UK.
Since launch, the bank has supported more than 350 borrowers. It was founded to provide lending and savings products designed around the needs of small and medium-sized businesses.
Simon Bateman, chief executive at Recognise Bank, said: “Hitting such a significant lending milestone as a £500m loan book charts yet another stage of our growth journey, as we seek to support more and more savers and SME borrowers by delivering certainty and services that customers can trust time and time again.
“Our lending pipeline has never been healthier which is a testament to the relationships our team has built with brokers and partners, and we look forward to growing the Bank further and providing savings and lending products that meet more and more customers’ needs.”
