Banking at hours that suit your business
Coronavirus update – Opening a Business Account
To make sure our services are running smoothly and keep waiting times to a minimum, you will need an in-store appointment to discuss opening a new business account with us.
We recently introduced an online request form, but so that we can process the extremely high number of appointment requests we’ve already received, we have had to temporarily remove the form.
As soon as we’re ready, we’ll announce that the form is available again. Thank you for bearing with us.
You can make an appointment request at any of our stores - Please see here for our opening hours. If you do visit us, please follow social distancing guidelines to protect yourselves and our colleagues.
If you want to apply for one of our Bounce Back Loans, you will need to have a Business Account with us.
From start-ups to corporates
Our range of accounts have been made to suit all different types of businesses, from sole traders to international corporations

Independent service quality survey results
As part of a regulatory requirement, an independent survey was conducted to ask approximately 1200 customers of each of the 14 largest business current account providers if they would recommend their provider to other small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs*). The results represent the view of customers who took part in the survey.
