Business bank accounts for an unlimited partnership

A few sole traders and myself are in the process of setting up an unlimited partnership for a small business.  I want a business bank account, something very cheap/free to run and simple.  Lots of the new online bank accounts are restricted to sole traders and limited partnerships only.  Are there any recommendations for unlimited partnerships please?  Thanks.

    Try one of the traditional High Street banks. Shouldn't be an issue.

    Agree, no problem with the traditional banks, it's just the app-based ones that seem to be unable to do partnerships.

    Most of the High Street banks have intro offers (no charges for a year or two) for new business accounts.  So shop around (there are plenty of reviews and comparison sites online that will tell you current offers)

    I am in a partnership and have an account with  HSBC. I couldn't find anyone that would offer us free banking after the introductory offer, even though we have very few transactions going through the account (our maximum number of transactions is about 8 per month). 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Switch it to another bank that has an intro offer for a switched business account. It's easy.  And, when the intro offer finishes, switch again.
