Great value, hassle-free business banking
In today’s fast moving world, we understand that you don’t want to spend time queuing in high street branches, but prefer to be out doing business. So whether your business is new or well-established, our direct Business Bank Account has been designed to help you run your business from wherever you are.

Free day to day banking forever.
To benefit from free day to day banking forever you need to keep your bank account in credit and operate within our generous specified transaction limits.

You will only be charged for non-standard services such as CHAPS and stopped cheques. Or if you exceed our transaction limits.

If your business has large or unusual transaction volumes, which are not suited to our Free Day to Day Banking Forever tariff, you can get a competitive quote from one of our Relationship Managers, tailored to your precise business situation.

Guaranteed interest.
Whenever your account is in credit, we guarantee to pay you interest on your balance. With our tiered rates of interest, the more you have in your account, the more you earn.

Access where and when you want it.
Managing your account couldn't be easier. You can access your accounts from home, the office or on the road, 365 days per year, using our telephone and e-banking services or through our extensive network of cash machines.

When you need to pay money into your account, you have a wide variety of options. Cash and cheque deposits can be made at Abbey branch-based cash machines and cheques can be posted direct to the banking centre. You can also arrange for electronic payments to your account by BACS, CHAPS and foreign payments.

It's just as easy to withdraw money from your account. You can use the cheque book provided or withdraw up to £500 cash per day from our cash machine network. Additionally you can make electronic withdrawals by requesting a CHAPS or foreign payment.

By linking your business accounts together, you can also transfer money between them using the telephone and e-banking services.

Up-to-the-minute account information.
If you need to check your balance or make sure a payment has been received, you can use the telephone or e-banking services or any Abbey cash machine. You will also receive a regular statement giving you a detailed summary of the transactions on your account.

To help you manage your account, we have a range of banking cards. For most customers a VISA Electron Card will be the most appropriate, providing access to all Abbey, LINK and VISA cash machines, where you can carry out a wide variety of financial transactions.

Where you require tighter control over your business finances, and you prefer the joint authority of two or more people to operate the account, we can provide an Operator Card. This allows holders to carry out limited activities like depositing money into the account and obtaining balances and recent transaction information, whilst restricting access to financial transactions.

To give you even more flexibility, you can authorise additional members of your staff to have varying levels of access to your account, either as authorised signatories or cardholders or both.

Hassle-free switching.
If you are an established business and want to switch your existing account to Abbey, you'll find our switcher team will make sure it's an easy and hassle-free process. All you need do is sign a simple form, and we'll do the rest.
