Chetwood Bank partnered with Sandstone Technology to transform its digital savings experience. Using Sandstone’s BankFast Apply and BankFast Online, the Bank now delivers a seamless, compliant and customer-centric journey from onboarding to account opening.

The results speak for themselves. With a deployment in under seven months, and all customers fully onboarded, the bank has seen a significant uplift in application conversion rates, improving by 20%.

In August 2025, Chetwood passed £5 billion balance sheet for the first time, marking a significant milestone in its growth journey. Beyond speed and compliance, the collaboration empowered Chetwood to expand into new savings products, including Easy Access, while enhancing customer satisfaction across demographics.

Receiving recent industry recognition with the IBSi Digital Banking Award for Customer and Program Impact, and shortlisted in the Partnership category in the Fintech Finance Awards 2025, the partnership stands as a powerful example of how collaboration and technology can redefine the digital banking experience.
