"Working alongside myself, Harry

hugely exciting, and we cannot

years at Cynergy Bank, where he
progressed to relationship director,
supporting a range of SME and
property clients.
Livingstone said: “LHV Bank has
achieved a huge amount in a short
time since its UK launch in 2022,
building a reputation for
being fast, flexible, and truly
relationship driven. Joining
such an ambitious team that’s
passionate about supporting
brokers and their clients
is incredibly exciting.
"I’m looking forward
to helping more
businesses access the
