The business was established in 1956 in Bangor, Northern Ireland.

In 1984, NIIB was bought by the Bank of Ireland Group and for the past three decades we have been the leading independent finance company in Northern Ireland.

Setting our sights even further, we entered the Scottish market as Northridge Finance in 1999, followed by a move into England and Wales in 2003.

January 2016 saw the merging of our two brands into “NIIB Group Ltd trading as Northridge Finance”.  Further improving our efficiency by operating as the one brand – Northridge Finance.

Today, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and members of the Finance & Leasing Association, our steady growth in all these markets continues.  This success speaks volumes about the value of our personal approach to establish mutually beneficial long-term partnerships, which remains central to our business today.  We continue to build our sales team enabling exceptional coverage geographically for all areas of the UK.

Along the way, we have gained a strong reputation as a solid, well-established business partner dedicated to understanding the needs and aims of our clients.
