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 130, serves thousands of customers across the UK, transforming savings into new opportunities for businesses to thrive.

We’re passionate about helping our customers succeed. As we expand our retail and commercial lending products, we remain committed to meeting their evolving needs and supporting their ambitions every step of the way.

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.

We are seeking a highly motivated Operational Risk Analyst to join our dynamic second line of defence Risk and Compliance team.

You'll be involved in analysing data and producing insightful management information, challenging and overseeing risk and control assessments across the business, and supporting the development of robust risk frameworks that enable informed decision-making.

This is a role with real visibility and impact. You’ll collaborate with senior stakeholders across the business, gaining exposure to strategic initiatives and helping shape the organisation’s risk culture.
