You’ll need to visit your local store to open an account. To make account opening a smooth process take a look at the documents you’ll need to bring with you to open an account. Help opening a business account.
The club, society or charity officials will also need to show proof of identity – in the same way as is required for opening a personal account. See the documents you need.
