We put people before profits
Aston also offer you all the trust and reassurances you could need. FCA-registered since 2011, our senior management have been working together, to the very highest ethical standards, for over 20 years…we’re no fly-by-nights.
We aim to do our best by everyone
We pride ourselves on being uniquely different. With an original take on doing business which doesn’t conform to the norm. What we are is independent. We are privately-owned. Debt-free. We are the agile speedboat to other institution’s plodding ocean tanker.
Empathy
We don’t just ‘get where you’re coming from’. We take time to understand where you want to get to as well. The more we know about you, the more we can help.
Innovation
New is good. But, we’re only interested if it’s also better and smarter than what it’s replacing. We love finding new ways of helping you make more of your money.
Dynamic
The financial world never stands still, so neither do we. We’re always thinking on feet – agile and adaptable – to keep one step ahead of the pack.
Simplicity
We keep things clear. Understandable. So, every day, you can see we’re working in your best interests and you know exactly where you stand.
Meet the people
