in Budgeting & bank accounts
I'm looking for recommendations on an easy to open business account. I know some banks want to interview new applicants etc but I'm looking for an online process for quickness. I think bank of Scotland and Lloyds do interviews for sole traders but I don't know about rbs/natwest. Any views?

    Lloyds do online applications -well they used to before covid - not sure if they have re-opened their applications yet?

    Quite a few business accounts aren't tkaing new applications due to the BBL backlog.  Monzo do a very simple one, easy to open.
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.

    Can you speak to a coherent human being in the event of something going wrong? I’ve heard that some of these offerings are somewhat lacking when you actually need to talk to somebody.
