A little more about us.

Founded in 1982 as part of Maryland National Bank.

‘MBNA’ originally stood for ‘Maryland Bank National Association’.

We’ve been based in Chester since 1993.

We now have savings, loans and home insurance to sit alongside our credit card offering.

The MBNA Community Investment Programme

The MBNA Community Investment Programme has been proudly supporting charities, organisations and community foundations in the Chester area, as well as the wider North West, since 1998.

We currently work with seven partners to provide funding and support for community initiatives, programmes, and services. This includes Active Leisure, Chester FC Community Trust, Chester Zoo, Sale Sharks, Storyhouse, Chester Pride, and Chester Racecourse. 

Our sponsorship work also branches out to selected charities, including Hope House and Zoe’s Place, and alongside our partners, we aim to create inclusive, safe environments for families to enjoy unique experiences and make memories that will last a lifetime.
