About Chetwood Financial Bank: We’ve been challenging the way financial services firms should operate ever since our launch back in 2016. From day one, we’ve been focused on helping customers underserved by the mainstream banks, creating highly targeted products to meet their specific needs. Today, we focus on mortgage and savings products. We understand real people and their real lives, and our simple, clear approach is designed to help customers make sense of their money. We work hard to make sure customers get the quick and helpful support they need in the moments that matter, when they matter. We’re a secure, stable, and well-funded bank backed by a large investor. We generate funding using retail deposits through our savings brand, SmartSave.
