Help
Below are some of the most common queries about our savings accounts.
What is a business savings account?
A business savings account works in the same way as a personal savings account. You can earn competitive business savings account interest rates on cash deposits, but the funds can only used by your company, not an individual.
What are the advantages of opening a business savings account?
A business savings account is an ideal option for business owners who wish to protect and grow their cash reserves.
Setting up a business savings account can help your business operate more efficiently. It means you’ll have money set aside for any unplanned business expenses such as emergencies and business projects.
Plus, it makes sense to open a savings account and put spare funds to work, earning a competitive interest rate on the balance.
There are different business savings accounts designed to suit businesses of all types and sizes. The type of business savings account you choose will depend on your needs — are you looking for easy access, or can you set aside a significant amount of money for an extended period?
How do I pay tax on business savings accounts?
As the interest rates on our business savings accounts are calculated as gross, your account will display interest before taxes are deducted. You will need to deduct tax yourself by declaring it as part of your annual tax return.
Do your business savings accounts have any fees or charges?
We don't apply fees or charges to our business savings products.
Do you have minimum or maximum balance requirements on your business savings accounts?
Yes. The balance requirements vary by product, so you should check this information on the product you wish to apply for.
Can I choose how my interest is paid?
Yes, you can. Interest can be credited to your account with us or paid to your Nominated Account. When applying for your Personal eSavings Account we will ask you to choose how you want us to pay you interest.
You can also choose whether the interest is paid monthly or annually when you apply for your account.
If you already have an account and want to change how you receive interest, please contact us.
You can contact the savings team by logging in and sending a secure message, or getting in touch by phone on 0345 266 6611.
Our team are available Monday to Friday, 9.00am - 5.00pm, excluding public holidays.
Can I receive gross interest on my business savings account?
All interest payments will be paid gross.
My business savings rate has an issue number. What does this mean?
Whenever we release a new rate, we give it a new issue number. It helps us keep track of what product we're referring to, including what rate it offers.
