Making the move to Barclays
A refreshingly straightforward approach to business banking
Our Business current account gives you the tools to help run your business effectively, from a choice of clear, transparent Price Plans to a rewarding loyalty discount on your monthly charges.
We’ve made moving easy, too.
How to apply
Sole traders
If you’re a sole trader, the whole application process can be completed online in just 10 minutes. We’ll then call you within 5 working days to confirm your account has been set up. Full account documentation will follow by post.
Partnerships and limited companies
If you are a partnership or limited company with 2 partners/directors, you can start your application online. Once submitted, we’ll contact you to book an appointment with a Barclays Business Manager at a branch and time that’s convenient for you to complete it.
What happens next?
We take care of the details, while you take care of your business. Once your application is complete, we will:
- Get in touch with your old bank to switch over any standing orders and Direct Debits, and send you a list to check that they’re all correct
- Arrange for your credit or debit balance to be moved from your old account
- Let you know when your account is ready to use and send you your new chequebook and card
