Business Plus account

Starting out or looking for a new bank? Either can be daunting but we have a dedicated team to help you open or switch your business bank account, leaving you free to concentrate on your business. We’ll give you 25 months free day-to-day Business banking.

If you would like to open a new business account we’re here to help. But this may take longer than usual due to high volumes of applications we are receiving.

 

Reasons to choose our Business Plus account

  • 25 months’ free day-to-day banking – so long as you keep your account within agreed limits and don’t go overdrawn without arranging it first 
  • After the free banking period, you’ll have a simple tariff and great ongoing value 
  • Free Square Reader, so you can take chip & PIN and contactless payments on the go. Pay no fees on your first £1,000 of sales
  • Specialist support from Enterprise Nation and Funding Options – helping you grow your business
  • Manage your account through our Mobile App, Internet Bank, telephone or our network of over 500 TSB branches. You can also deposit cash and cheques at 11,500 Post Office branches

Account features

Free day-to-day banking can make all the difference to a business. It makes sure that every single penny you earn goes towards creating a successful business.

Benefits

  • Banking on your doorstep - we have a large branch network in the UK, so there should always be one nearby.
  • Banking at the Post Office - pay in cash and cheques at any Post Office counter. Payments take an additional business day to reach us.
  • Banking on your mobile – check your balance and make payments to existing payees with our Mobile App
  • Banking on your computer - our Internet Banking service is currently used by over half of our business customers.
  • Banking on your phone - speak to a business advisor who can deal with your account queries and requests.

During the first 25 months you will not be charged for:

  • paying in or taking out cash
  • paying in or issuing cheques
  • paying standing orders and direct debits
  • unlimited deposits and withdrawals
  • no minimum account balance required

All we ask is that you operate your account within agreed limits, for example not going overdrawn without prior agreement.

See our fees for services not covered by free banking

 

Below is our simple charging tariff, which you will move on to once your 25 months’ free banking has finished. Services that cost us more to process are going to cost you more to use; for instance, writing and accepting cheques.

If you maintain an average balance of £10,000 or more during a charging cycle, we won’t charge you the monthly fee.

Further fees and charges for other services can be found in your Account Charges Explained brochure.
