Shawbrook Bank’s private equity parent companies are considering a public listing of the firm on the London Stock Exchange.
According to reports from The Times, some City investors have "understood" that BC Partners and Pollen Street Capital, which bought Shawbrook for £868m in 2017, are considering an initial public offering of the latter.

Pollen Street Capital and BC Partners declined to comment. Shawbrook has been contacted for comment.
The private equity owners previously considered a public offering in 2022, which they sought a £2bn valuation for at the time, but dropped the plans last year, according to the newspaper.
Several firms have declared its plans to publicly list on the UK market so far this year, but outside of AIM no company has actually initiated an IPO on the London Stock Exchange yet.
