Client perspectives

Trusted when the decisions matter.

Selfridges Group

“Based on their success in helping to deliver cost savings elsewhere in Selfridges Group, we engaged Bankhawk to help us to identify and deliver savings in our banking and payment costs. These have so far led to working capital savings and the negotiation of reduced card fees, with Bankhawk also helping to project manage the implementation of the initiatives. I would be happy to recommend Bankhawk. They have helped us to navigate the complex world of payments and put us on a path towards building a clear strategy to manage and optimise relationships with our payment providers.”

Katrina Nurse, Finance Director, Selfridges Group

Ark Insurance Group

“From the outset, Bankhawk demonstrated professionalism and expertise. Their team conducted a thorough analysis of our banking and payments arrangements, examining our transaction data and contractual positions. The process was smooth, thanks to their clear guidance and secure data handling procedures. Bankhawk’s benchmarking identified significant improvements we could achieve in the commercial arrangements with our banks. The insight from Bankhawk was instrumental in negotiations with our banking providers and enabled us to significantly improve commercial terms. We anticipate considerable savings as a result.”

Neil Smith, Finance and Operations Director, Ark Insurance Group

RSA Insurance

“Conscious that Bankhawk were helping other insurance companies to reduce their banking costs, RSA Ireland engaged them to assist us in optimising our banking and payments activity.”

“Bankhawk prepared an initial business case which convinced us that there was substantial value to be secured in tendering our long-held banking arrangements. They partnered with us to tender the business and select our new provider. Bankhawk then played a key role in the implementation, both advisory and hands-on, of a new best-in-class banking and payments operation.”

“Working with Bankhawk meant that we were much better equipped to co-ordinate the requirements of many different stakeholders. We were able to engage the banking market, understand the dynamics and select and implement the best solution with confidence.”

“I would be more than happy to recommend Bankhawk. I was very impressed with their professionalism and expertise. The project was successfully delivered and Bankhawk had a significant positive influence on this.”

Kerry McConnell, Group Investor Relations Director, RSA Insurance plc

Our approach

Independent by design.

We are paid by the organisations we advise and no one else. No referral fees, no provider commissions.

Every engagement starts from the client's own data and contracts. Recommendations are grounded in evidence, and most improvements are negotiated within existing relationships.
