Banking at hours that suit your business
Apply online for a business bank account
We’re now taking business bank account applications from sole-director limited companies. You will need to apply online, as we can’t accept applications in store.
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 multi-director limited companies or sole traders at the moment.
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.
