Faith and Finance: Kingdom Bank Named Among UK’s Fastest-Growing Companies

In a shining moment for faith-driven enterprise, Kingdom Bank—the Christian financial institution dedicated to helping believers steward their resources for eternal impact—has been named one of the UK’s Top 500 Fastest-Growing Companies, securing the 380th spot on Business Leader’s prestigious list. The recognition underscores a season of remarkable growth for the bank and reflects an “increasing and urgent demand from churches across the UK seeking to secure permanent homes for gospel ministry.”

Chief Executive Officer Paul Houghton described the milestone as “a testimony to the Lord’s provision and the faithfulness of Christians who have chosen to save with us.” He added, “Their savings enable us to provide mortgages to evangelical churches across the UK, helping them establish a secure base for mission and ministry in their communities.” The bank’s success is not just about financial expansion—it’s about fueling the spiritual and social transformation that happens when congregations have a place to thrive.

Kingdom Bank also achieved impressive rankings of 302 for profit and 193 for profit margin, demonstrating that purpose and performance can indeed go hand in hand. Houghton reaffirmed that all surplus profits are reinvested into the bank’s capital reserves, strengthening its capacity to support churches, Christian charities, and ministry workers. As interest rates stabilize, the bank’s continued momentum relies on believers uniting their savings with Kingdom Bank’s vision. “Every pound saved with Kingdom Bank helps make the gospel visible in local communities,” Houghton said. “Our mission is simple—to see more churches secure a permanent home and become beacons of hope across the nation.”
