However you can still open up a business bank account with bad credit as long as you either apply for a guaranteed service or choose to open an account which avoids the need for a credit check.
What are your options?
We have a selection of dedicated business accounts offering everything including a UK Sort Code & Account Number, Direct Debits, Standing Orders, Internet banking, business debit cards, paying in cash & cheques, UK & Overseas residents, faster payments (both in & out), International Payments (both in & out) plus much more
