Business Bank Account for Ex Bankrupt?

in Budgeting & bank accounts
Good afternoon,

I have started a Ltd Company which requires me to open a Business Bank Account.

I applied for a Santander but got turned down as my credit rating was not high enough.

I was discharged from bankruptcy in August 2016, so I'm wondering if anyone has any information on which Business Bank Accounts would I be eligible to open?

Looking to open one fairly soon but also worried the Santander application will leave a footprint on my credit file?

Thanks for listening

    Starling might be your best bet.

    Ignore your credit score/rating.

    There will be no "application" footprint, just a search

    Cashplus Business Account works perfectly well - £69 a year fee.
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.
