Who they are

Brown Shipley is a British private bank founded in 1810, specialising in personalised wealth management, investment services, and lending for high-net-worth individuals. The firm was established in Liverpool by William Brown as an import-export business rooted in transatlantic trade, before forming a key partnership with Joseph Shipley in 1825 and transitioning into merchant banking. Today it sits in quite different hands. Brown Shipley is wholly owned by Quintet Private Bank (Europe) S.A., a Luxembourg-headquartered entity that oversees a network of private banking operations spanning over 30 cities across Europe. The bank is headquartered in London with offices in seven other UK cities.

As a UK-authorised private bank, Brown Shipley is regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). All eligible deposits are protected by the FSCS up to £120,000 per individual. Brown Shipley holds its own banking licence, so that limit applies to Brown Shipley alone - always worth confirming on the FCA register if you hold savings elsewhere in the Quintet group.

Savings accounts

Our data does not currently show any retail savings products listed for Brown Shipley. This is consistent with its positioning - Brown Shipley's core offering is wealth planning, investment management, and lending services for private, corporate, and institutional clients , rather than the kind of easy access or fixed-rate accounts you would typically find on a savings comparison site. If that changes and products become available, the live rates on this page will reflect them straight away.

Is it right for you?

Brown Shipley is not really a challenger bank or a high-street savings provider. The bank focuses on high-net-worth individuals, with a minimum investable asset threshold of £1 million for access to its lending facilities. If you are looking for a competitive easy access or fixed-term savings account, you are unlikely to find one here at present.

That said, if you do come across a Brown Shipley deposit product - perhaps through a savings marketplace - it carries solid credentials: over two centuries of history, a well-regulated UK banking licence, and FSCS cover up to £120,000. As always, check the live rates shown on this page for the most up-to-date picture before making any decision.
