Apply for a business bank account
Online: If you’re a limited company we’re now taking business bank account applications online. Applications open at 10am each day. We’re dealing with a very high volume of customers, so you may need to join a queue. When it’s your turn you will have 10 minutes to start your application. When we reach our limit the queue will close until the next day. Sorry but we can’t take online applications from sole traders at the moment.
In Store: If you’re a limited company or a sole trader you can also apply for a business bank account in person. Due to demand and Covid-19 restrictions it will take longer than usual to open an account in store, and we are operating an appointment system. Please contact your local store to register your interest and we will explain the account opening process in more detail.
