Business banking for non-UK residents
How to open a UK business account as a non-UK resident
If you are a non-UK resident looking for a business banking solution, we’ve partnered with Wise to provide you with a reliable and flexible option for opening a UK business account.
What’s included
Wise Business is an excellent international payment solution for non-UK residents. We have included a referral to apply for a Wise Business account within our Non-Residents Packages. Wise allows eligible customers to send and receive international payments, hold and convert 40+ currencies, and access local account details in supported currencies including GBP, EUR and USD, with transparent exchange rates and upfront fees.
How to access your bank referral
Shortly after your company has been formed, you will receive an “Order Fulfilment” email. This email outlines all the services included in your package and contains your unique referral link. You can use this link to begin your application directly with Wise.
You’ll need to register with some personal and business information, upload documents for verification, and complete Wise’s compliance checks. If your application is approved, you will receive access to a UK account number and sort code. Account openings are subject to approval.
