Castle Trust Bank’s digital health score is 76 out of 100: the top third of the sector, and 13th of 76 overall. Measured across the set, Castle Trust Bank is 10 points above the sector median of 66. Its strongest area is measurement, at 80 out of 100, well ahead of the 45 specialist lender average, so whether the firm can see what is working is already working.
