Is this route right?

Use this page as a checkpoint before you click out.

Partner tools can be useful, but they work best when they fit the way your business handles records, payments, deadlines and admin.

This route may suit:

  • New sole traders opening a first business account
  • Small limited companies wanting a simple digital account
  • Businesses that want pots, spending visibility and app-based banking

  • Businesses that want banking to work cleanly with bookkeeping software

Things to consider first:

  • Are you eligible for the account you want?

  • Will the account connect cleanly to your bookkeeping or accounting setup?
