Finally, if you're starting up in business you can benefit from up to 2 years' free banking††.

And when your free banking periods ends, our Free Automated Transactions tariff means that you don’t pay for any automated services such as debit cards, standing orders or Direct Debits and Online or Telephone Banking. So if you can encourage your customers to pay you in one of those methods too, then all of this would only cost you £5.50 a month.
