How onboarding works
The bank checks UK registration and operations, UK residence of connected persons, legal form, trading address, forecast turnover and activity. The route may involve the app, remote checks and a branch.
Baseline eligibility
The standard route is for a UK-registered business operating in the UK; directors, owners, partners and signatories must meet the published age and residence criteria.

The standard product is generally unsuitable for non-residents or structures with a foreign physical presence. Some regulated financial and crypto models are excluded, and the bank may decline.
