Today, Conister Bank proudly recognises a significant milestone as Haseeb Qureshi celebrates 10 years with the business. Over the past decade, Haseeb has helped shape Conister’s strategy, culture, and growth trajectory, supporting Conister Bank's development into a confident and forward‑thinking financial services provider.
A Career Defined by Ambition and Progress
Haseeb joined Conister in 2016, drawn by the opportunity to make meaningful impact during a pivotal stage in the organisation’s evolution. From Head of Internal Audit to Deputy Managing Director & Chief Operating Officer, his career mirrors the transformation of the business itself. Reflecting on those early years, Haseeb recalls an organisation full of determination and shared purpose:
“From my first week, I could see a team hungry to build something stronger. That belief in what Conister could become - it’s still the heartbeat of this organisation.”
Guiding Strategic Transformation
Haseeb’s decade with Conister has coincided with major moments in the organisation’s history. Among them was the award of Conister’s UK Deposit Taking Licence in 2023, a landmark achievement that broadened the Bank’s reach and strengthened its position in the UK market. Haseeb’s leadership was instrumental in navigating this transformative process.
Beyond regulatory milestones, Haseeb’s focus on operational excellence, people‑centred leadership and long‑term strategy has helped guide Conister through a period of sustained growth.
“Our journey over the last decade has been about strengthening foundations while opening new doors. The licence was a defining moment - not just because of what it achieved, but because of how our people delivered it.”
A People‑Focused Leader
While proud of the organisation’s achievements, Haseeb consistently attributes Conister’s success to its people:
“Conister’s strength has always been its people. Their resilience, creativity, and care are what make this place special. That’s what has made the last 10 years so meaningful.”
Looking Ahead With Confidence
As the financial services landscape continues to evolve, Conister enters its next chapter with optimism, and Haseeb is energised by the opportunities ahead.
“We’re at an exciting point in Conister’s journey. With the foundations we’ve built and the capabilities we now have, I can’t wait to see what the next decade for Conister brings.”
Congratulations on this milestone, Haseeb!
