Yes. The interest rate is variable, which means it can go up or down.

When we increase our interest rates: the new interest rate will apply immediately and we will tell you about the change within 30 days of applying it by displaying information on our website or by branch notices, national press advertisements, statement messages or inserts, or by writing to you (this can include email), or by any combination of these methods.

When we decrease our interest rates: we will tell you by personal notice at least two months before we make the change. Personal notice means by post or email.

For full details of the circumstances in which we may change interest rates, please refer to our Terms and Conditions.

Applying

You can apply by completing our online application form below. Our online application form can be signed by a maximum of two signatories. If your organisation requires three or more signatories, once you have completed the online application form you will receive a signing pack to capture the additional signatories signatures.

Please note: this form should not be used to make changes to the information that we hold about your business or any key individuals. You can add or change signatories to your account by following the change of signatories process. The signatories and signing authority for the new account will be the same as the existing arrangements for your business bank account.

How do I make deposits into this account?

You can pay money in by immediate funds transfer from another of your Co-operative Bank accounts using the mobile app, telephone or online banking.

There is no minimum or maximum balance restrictions for this account.

How do I contact you to discuss this account?

You can contact us by telephone to discuss this account.

Yes. But you must give 35 days' notice to withdraw from the account.

However, you can make a withdrawal without giving us the required 35 days' notice but you'll be charged the value of 35 days' interest on the amount you withdraw, using the account's interest rate.

This charge will be taken from any interest you've earned but have not yet been paid. If you have not earned enough interest to cover the charge, the outstanding sum will be taken from your remaining deposit(s). If the unpaid interest and your remaining deposit(s) do not cover the charge, the Bank may recover the funds by other means, i.e. by exercising its right of set off.

You can make withdrawals through telephone banking to your linked Co-operative Bank business bank account.

Any individual named as a Signatory on an account has the authority to run it. For example, sign cheques, letter requests and company instructions.

If there is more than one signatory on an account, a signing instruction may be in place. This means that all requests must be signed by the required number of signatories before they are carried out.

We ask you to confirm the signatories on your account when you open a business account with us.

We will pay interest without deducting tax. If you earn more interest than the amount permitted as tax free income, you will have to pay tax on the interest earned directly to HM Revenue & Customs. If you are not sure whether you will have to pay tax, we recommend that you contact your local tax office or HM Revenue & Customs.

Any reference to tax is based on our understanding of current tax regulations which may change in the future and depends on your individual financial circumstances.

The Co-operative Bank reserves the right to decline or accept any application and/or deposit.
