Entrepreneur Jim McColl’s Alba Bank is ready to ‘mobilise’ after finally securing a licence for Scotland’s first bank solely dedicated to small and medium sized business lending.

After five years of talks, the Bank has been approved by the UK Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority.

The bank will initially operate from two office hubs in Glasgow and London with longer term ambitions to establish commercial offices in regions across the UK. It aims to become Scotland’s version of new-style digital banks such as Monzo and Revolut.

An experienced team has been assembled, led by former Airdrie Savings Bank chief Rod Ashley. Former Scottish Financial Enterprise CEO Graeme Jones was appointed chairman last October.

Its backers include Sir Brian Souter, the former Stagecoach boss, David Coulthard, the former Formula One motor racing driver and David Moulsdale, who runs the opticians chain Optical Express.

Tick up incoming.

Billionaire, Scot Jim mc coll putting him name on a stock will only send it one way, ' UP' strong buy.

gla .

This time last week,s/p was 0.0027,

In 2 weeks when all resolutions are passed and we can light shining through the s/p will be up in the 0.0040's and a lot will be kicking themselves, saying, if only I had bought more .

Profit to the brave.

Having a director with great ambition for once.

Large order being filled, expect tick up soon.

Profit to the brave.

Gla

I can see this creeping back upto the 0.0040's,

Once a billionaire puts his mark on a distressed stock and has skin in the game others follow.

Another couple of 500 mill buys will help.

Gla

500 mill, thats a great buy,

Gla

Well if you don't take advantage to average down soon the opportunity may pass,

i was looking for 0.0018/ 0.0022 but decided to buy today, once resolutions are past with mc coll putting his stamp on it i expect it to rise fast.

only mop

gla

1.1 billion buys in last 2 hrs.

gla

Looks like a bit of interest is forming, 300 mil buy , £8700 ish , great punt.

profit to the brave.

Jim mc coll could end up the Robert Bruce of Scotland, every Scots person / business/ investor, and house hold name will move there finance's into his bank.

Next best thing to independence.

Interesting read, ive seen it before, many times, a billionaire puts his name to a stock and the turn around can be multi.

Gla

The more i read the more i like,

we have a self made Scottish billionaire who has ambitions to open his own bank,

further more , has a large land bank within his portfolio in Scotland and /uk dilution for lth's is inevitable, but the future looks bright,(in time).

Also, igraine has a great opportunity to build its main business in the BESS sector with its second largest shareholder, vela, soon to be Caledonian Holdings plc. 20% holdings and a director with 1000's of hectares of land in the scottish highlands screaming out to be wind/ solar farms.

as always, looking out of the box.

profit to the brave.

Old extract, but , can dreams become reality?

Gla

Agree.

gla

404x,

£200k to buy a salary, no.

Name change to Caledonian holdings plc, is not really just a name change, Caledonian holdings ltd is a active company, more like he has required a stock exchange listing for £200k.

(Company's house)

Gla

May be he's that deep he see's no other way of getting his money back,

My question is ,why mc,coll is prepared to but £200k in.

Gla

Of funds for vela from historic investments,

Cdt recover 50%of its losses,

Weshop , lists,

Igraine, announce 1st contract of 50 mgw rtb concluded

Fixit , commercialisation of cingo.

Other than that, dilution via another placing.

My money is on gem/Igraine 50mgw with rtb ( right to build) is worth £3m to Igraine and vela have a 20% stake.

Lot of ifs.
