Bank account for Partnerships (Scotland)

3craws

Hello
Can anyone suggest any banks which offer business accounts for Partnerships?  We are not a Limited Company but a registered Partnership.  I'm finding it difficult to find out which banks offer this service.  Perhaps being in Scotland there are different rules?  Many thanks for any insights.

Have you actually tried any of the Scottish domiciled banks (BOS, RBS, TSB or VM) and been refused? 
IIRC even non-registered Partnerships have legal personality in Scotland so it shouldn't be an issue.

TSB

To open a Business Current Account, you need to be an existing active TSB business or personal customer.

Sorry, we are only accepting business current account applications from existing customers at this time.

If you don’t already have an account with TSB, we won’t be able to accept your application for a business current account. If you submitted an application before 20th September, it will be progressed and we will be in touch.

We will update our website as soon as we are able to open accounts for new customers. Please check back here for updates.

BOS
