How onboarding works
Application is online or relationship-manager led depending on the product. The bank checks UK tax residence, registration, address, turnover, activity, directors and owners, and may request identity and address evidence.
Baseline eligibility
Primarily for UK companies and entrepreneurs with a genuine UK nexus. Product, limits and application route depend on the business profile and needs.
Restrictions and risk review
Not a universal remote route for foreign companies or non-residents. Credit, KYC/KYB/AML, product restrictions and the bank's right to decline apply.
