Following its acquisition in November 2015, Five Arrows Media Finance, formerly known as Fineline Media Finance, has been rebranded to Paragon Bank, by purchasers Paragon Group.



The once Rothschild and Co subsidiary will continue to provide its products and services through Technology Finance from Paragon Bank.

Before the acquisition Five Arrows had over 25 years' experience of the film, broadcast, audiovisual and pro-audio sectors and claims to be able to develop a tailored financial package that will maximise benefits, minimise costs and match cash-flow requirements across the broadcast ecosystem. That is, the ability to support a range of funding needs from a freelance operator who needs the latest 4K camera package to a broadcaster planning a new studio build.

Commenting on the move, Paragon Bank managing director Gareth Wilding said: “Today is a really exciting day as it marks the beginning of a new chapter for [Five Arrows Media Finance]. We are joining Paragon Bank and in turn, Paragon Group, at a very exciting time as the business continues to grow and develop. We are looking forward to further developing our business and working with the team at Paragon Bank to look at new opportunities for the future. For our customers, it is business as usual, all of the same people are here to help; the only changes are our new name and email addresses.”
