Business savings accounts
What are business savings accounts?
Savings accounts offer start-ups, small and SME businesses a safe place to deposit surplus cash whilst earning interest. Depending on your business needs, you may choose to open an instant access business savings account for immediate access to your cash, or a business notice account in return for a higher interest rate.
At The Co-operative Bank, we've long pioneered a way of banking that makes a positive difference to the lives of our customers and the communities they live and work in. By saving with us, you can help drive social change through our strong charity partnerships.
