BBLS top up

Options
Not sure if I'm on the correct page. I bank with First Direct and run my very small business with my current account. I applied and received a bounce back loan through HSBC. I would now like to apply for a top up but don't know whether to apply through my bank, First Direct, or HSBC. I can't find any advice on either bank websites of how to apply for a a top up either. Any help much appreciated.

    If you already have a Bounce Back Loan but borrowed less than you were entitled to, from 10 November you can top up your existing loan to your maximum amount. You must request the top-up by 31 January 2021.

    I can't find any advice on either bank websites of how to apply for a a top up either.

    It was only updated on Friday.  Today is Monday.  Give the banks a chance.

    Thank you for your reply. I had read it was the 9th but as you say now 10th.

    It's not yet even bank opening time on the 9th.  Give them a chance.
