Jeremy Vaughan

Spear’s Review

Jeremy Vaughan is managing director of banking at Hampden Bank, an institution that in 2013 became the UK’s newest private bank – the first for three decades. Its short history has been defined by a decision to eschew wealth management or general investment advice to focus firmly on offering personal, professional banking services to HNW clients, their families and their businesses.

Vaughan tells Spear’s that the bank, which won the Spear’s Award for Best UK Private Bank in 2018 and again in 2022, has grown considerably since it was established, primarily through client referrals. ‘We’re seeing continual demand for the services [we] offer,’ he says. ‘But it’s not just the services we provide that have spurred our growth, it’s also the style of the offering – the bespoke personalisation.’
