To help us understand your needs, we carry out a short questionnaire. We do this by phone. It takes five minutes to complete.
We explain what documents you need to provide. Most of the time we can tell you there and then if we can provide banking services for your business.
By law, we must carry out due diligence. This ensures we know who we’re dealing with to prevent money laundering or financial crime. There are penalties for failing to do this, so we work with you to get it right.
