Key Features

Business savings accounts allow companies to earn interest on surplus cash, serving as a secure, interest-bearing alternative to low-yield business current accounts.

They facilitate financial management, such as building emergency reserves or paying tax bills, typically offering higher interest rates than transactional accounts.

Notice accounts require a set notice period to withdraw money, offering better rates in exchange for reduced flexibility
None of our Business Savings Accounts charge a monthly fee, helping you make the most of your surplus funds
Our Business Savings Accounts are available to UK-based SMEs and Micro Enterprise businesses, including limited companies, partnerships and LLPs
Can aid management of cash flow – separating operating funds from savings, offering better financial organisation, especially during seasonal highs and lows

This is a short note to express our gratitude for the warm and helpful assistance we received when trying to set up our Savings ISAs at the Harpenden store. We were particularly grateful for the way the staff patiently took us through the paperwork with such good humour.
