Most recently, Davey was managing director and deputy CFO of Credit Suisse AG Parent Bank, overseeing the transition of key finance processes to UBS whilst ensuring continued capability and governance. Before the merger Davey was group head of liquidity management. Before moving to Switzerland, Davey spent more than two decades in Guernsey with Credit Suisse.

“We are extremely pleased to have been able to attract someone of Will’s calibre to Bank Aston as our CFO. He has tremendous experience through his many senior roles at one of the world’s largest banks, as well as an appetite for good governance and a desire to build something that will truly make offshore banking better,” Paul Gorman, Bank Aston’s CEO, said.

“His regulatory understanding is second to none – he is extremely adaptable and knows how to work together with regulators. He held a GFSC-approved position during his time in Guernsey and managed engagement with the Swiss regulator when he was in Zurich.”

Davey’s is the third major appointment at the bank in the last two months; it recently appointed its first two non-executive directors, Claire Whittet and Roy McGregor.

In June this year, Bank Aston was granted Guernsey’s first banking licence for almost 30 years by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC) and since then the Bank has continued to build out its senior team and offering ahead of taking on customers in 2026.
