How can I open a UK business bank account as a non resident?
With most mainstream banks refusing to offer business accounts to non UK residents, it can be very difficult to get any business banking without some physical connection to the UK.
However we have a number of regulated business account providers who will consider non UK residents who have a UK Limited Company as long as they can provide suitable proof of Identity and have a legitimate business.
We can help with the application from start to finish by initially sourcing a provider who will accept your application right the way through to submission and acceptance.
In most circumstances, they will also process your application without the need to travel here, meaning everything can be completed by providing copies of all the necessary documentation.
The type of banking facilities available will very much depend on the ‘risk’ profile of your business, so may can expect to get access to a UK sort-code and GBP account number, a key element to accept UK faster payments.
Here are some of the features you can be sure will be INCLUDED with your new Business Account:
UK Sort Code & Account Number
Euro Account with IBAN & SWIFT
Internet & Online Banking
UK-UK Payments*
Euro & USD Payments**
SAFE: Fully Regulated & Authorised by the FCA
No long term contracts – cancel at anytime
