It’s actually 8 years SM. He started his “baby” in 2018. I’m looking forward to the next few months. Take care ……

Definitely something going on. The next few days could be interesting. The adage “no smoke without fire” springs to mind. Take care ……

There’s a very informative article under www.business.Scot dated 8th December 2025 which explains when, how and the hoops “big Jim” has gone through since 2018 to get us to this stage. Think it proves his fully committed.

Very insightful and informative Dude. The wonders of AI. I was aware of Allica but Oak North is a new one on me. They both have risen extremely well in challenging times and continue to outperform. Let’s hope AlbaCo follows a similar trajectory. Be glad when the PRA is out of the way. Take care and have a nice weekend.……

I believe we are nearly there apart from the PRA ( I’m happy to be corrected if this is not the case ). Some recent big buys would seem to indicate things are warming up. Patience favours the brave. Take care……

Warming up nicely. Take care……

That’s a big buy……Perhaps some news soon. Take care……

Only a matter of time. This is nearly there. The culmination of 8 years of one persons ambition to have a Scottish bank serving SMEs. Can’t wait. Take care……

Yes, thanks Poppa. Good news indeed. Can I ask where you got this information ? As I’ve said before I’m all in here and in a perverse way quite happy with the share price as it means I can continue to top up. In my opinion this is only going one way. Look at the facts. The jigsaw is nearly complete. Take care……

From past history they like to slip them out “after hours”. Think we are due one soon. Take care……

As usual positive RNS and share price goes down. Plus ca change. Sounds like they have many irons in the fire. Warming up nicely - pun intended. Take care ……

Being totally selfish I’m hoping the share price stays where it is until mid February when I’m due a nice chunk of money that I won’t hesitate investing here. Not long now methinks. Take care ……

I’m with you Morri although PPP is the share causing me grief. Out of interest what do you regard as medium / long term ? Take care……

Thanks Newbie. It all makes sense now. Exciting times. Takes care……

As an aside, anyone got an explanation for the numerous small buys 🤔!……take care

Without appearing glib, I’m sure Jim would put his hands in his pockets if the £25million was a problem. Let’s not forget this has been his “baby” since 2018. I’m sure he won’t let it slip when the end game is so close. I believe it is just a matter of getting the regulatory stuff done. Take care ……

I really can’t understand why certain people are getting agitated with how things are panning out. Here we have a new bank being started in Scotland. It has the vision, the funding, the management and the operational requirements ( Aspire ). We are awaiting FCA approval. From my experience this normally takes around 60 days which if our application was submitted at the time of the Aspire acquisition would take us to the end of this month. We also need shareholder approval so I would expect an announcement around the same time. Patience is a virtue. Im just happy that all of this scaremongering is allowing me more time to buy more shares. Take care……

I think it a far reach that Alba would grow to the size of Metro Bank. A better comparison might be Allica, a similar operation with the same goals that started in 2019 and since then has grown considerably. Hoping for news on the change of control approval from the FCA in the next few weeks. Take care ……

Couldn’t agree more Rick. Glad in a way that the market hasn’t picked up on the steady progress being made here as it allows more investment at what will be viewed as a risible price in the months to come. Take care……

A happy, healthy and most importantly, prosperous New Year to all investors. Think, it’s going to be a good one 🤞🏻. Take care……
