At launch, Cambridge & Counties Bank offered secured loans to SMEs for business mortgages and commercial property investment. Five months after launch, residential property investment lending was added to the portfolio.

On its first anniversary, the bank announced that it had made loans totalling £40m[5] and had signed up its 1,000th new customer. Shortly afterwards the bank confirmed it had achieved break even on a monthly trading basis.[6] By the end of 2013 the business bank had lent more than £113m, with more than 250 loans.[7]

In October 2014, Mike Kirsopp was appointed as Chief Executive Officer for the bank,[8] which was followed by the opening of a Bristol-based regional office covering the South West and Wales regions of the UK.[9] A Sheffield based regional office was also opened in 2014 covering the North and Scotland regions.[10]

In July 2015, Rachel Curtis-Bowen, Executive Director Customer Experience was appointed to the board and was the first female member.
