Reporting Analyst

OVERVIEW At DF Capital, we champion banking for ambition.
As an award-winning provider of commercial finance and savings, we empower depositors and small businesses with financial solutions tailored to fuel their growth.
Headquartered in Manchester, our team of over 100, serves thousands of customers across the UK, transforming savings into new opportunities for businesses to thrive.
OUR STORY Founded in 2016, DF Capital was born with a focus on distribution finance - providing dealers, distributors, and manufacturers with the funding they need to stock, display, and sell products, without straining cash flow.
Since then, we've delivered over £3.5bn of funding across diverse sectors.
From motorhomes and machinery to motorbikes and lodges, we've financed all shapes and sizes of commercial vehicles and automobiles (no planes or trains - yet).
We listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange in 2019.
BECOMING A BANK In 2020, we became a fully authorised bank, extending our offering with savings products for retail depositors.
We're proud of our strong customer service, consistently achieving high satisfaction scores - like our current average rating of 4.8/5 from 1,200+ reviews, which also earned us a Platinum Trusted Service Award.
The deposits we receive fuel UK businesses through our commercial lending, creating a virtuous cycle of growth.
WHERE WE'RE HEADED Our goal is simple: to be the best bank - for our customers and each other.
We put customer needs first, continuously looking to improve our proposition on their feedback.
We aim to help more customers in more ways while continuing to deliver exceptional service.
How do we achieve this?
By hiring people who care deeply about doing the right thing, we've been recognised as 'World Class to Work For' by Best Companies, and we're proud of our inclusive, sustainable, and progressive workplace.
OUR CULTURE DF Capital is a very special place to work.
We have an amazing team who commit themselves each and every day to bring our ambitious growth plans to life.
