Call us

We’ll ask you a few questions about what you do and how your organisation is set up. Depending on the account you're applying for, we may need to know your:

• First year 's expected deposits
• Details of international payments in and out of the account
• Business structure

Calls usually take no more than 10-20 minutes.

Complete an application form

After our call, we'll send you a follow-up email with a link to the online application form. You can also request a paper application form if you prefer, but this may extend the processing time.

We'll assess your application

We take a genuinely responsible approach to business, transparency and using money more consciously.

That’s why we assess organisations applying for our accounts to make sure their practices don't conflict with our ethos.

If you're unsure whether your organisation would fit with our values, give us a call.

You can also check our minimum standards - it lists the non-sustainable products, services and working practices that would exclude an organisation from banking with us.

We'll set up your account

If your application is successful, we’ll set up your account and send you a welcome pack.

Yes - as well as creating ad hoc UK payments you can import a file containing a batch of payments. Normally you will create this file in your accounting software.

Under the Account Management tab in Internet Banking, the Import Payments page allows you to select a file for import by browsing any of the drives accessible to your computer. Once you have selected the file, you need to authorise the import using your Digipass.

You will need to ensure that your file conforms to one of the file formats below. These files are usually produced in your accounting software.

• Import file specification - batch payment format
  
• Import file specification - BACS format (agency transactions)
  

If you’re not sure how to create an import file in either of these formats, please contact your accounting software support provider.

You can see a history of imported files, including status, in your internet banking under the Account Information tab, on the page Imported Files History.

We do not currently offer a debit card on our business or charity accounts. The account can be accessed online via internet banking, and cheque books are issued with the account. We regularly review the products and services that we offer along with customer feedback to determine and prioritise future enhancements. Whilst it’s a service that we would like to offer, we don’t have plans in the foreseeable future to launch a debit card facility for business account.
