How to open a business deposit account?
For maximum business efficiency, it is better to place free funds in financial instruments that provide additional income and are reliable. One such financial instrument is business fixed-term deposits. Bankchart.co.uk offers you a list of the most reliable financial institutions with competitive interest rates and a wide range of periods for depositing.
Just follow the link in the table above, read the terms of business fixed-term deposits, find the current rates and other conditions, and contact the support service of the bank most suitable for you.
Please note that UK banks offer business fixed term deposits and business variable deposits. If you want the interest rate on the deposit not to change during the period of placement of funds, then apply for a fixed term deposit.
The manager will answer all your questions, as well as tell you what list of documents you need to prepare.
New customers usually need to visit a bank branch to open a deposit, while if your company has already cooperated with banks, often you can open a business fixed deposit online.

Do business deposits have fixed or variable interest rates?
Business deposit accounts can offer both fixed and variable interest rates, depending on the type of account and the financial institution providing the service.
A fixed interest rate means that the rate of return on the deposited funds remains constant for a specified period.
Fixed-Term Deposits often known as business savings bonds or fixed-rate savings accounts, these require the funds to be locked away for a predetermined period (e.g., 1 year, 3 years). The interest rate is agreed upon at the time of the deposit and remains unchanged for the duration of the term.
A variable interest rate fluctuates over time, often in response to changes in the Bank of England's base rate or market conditions.
