Quick question about funding a savings account with Gatehouse Bank

Is the account meant to be marked as a 'Business' account or a Personal account when sending money to it?  In my Barclays app, it flags it as a Business account, presumably because you have to put the account name as 'Gatehouse Bank plc' but I'm not sure if that's correct or if I have to change it to a Personal account.

    COP doesn't really matter much with Gatehouse as COP cannot check the Reference, which really determines where your money goes in Gatehouse.

    Just do the usual - send £1 first, ignore any COP messages, and once the £1 arrives in your Gatehouse account, you know you can safely use the payee.
  • just make sure you use the special reference number where you would usually put your name as reference.
