Business savings accounts FAQs

When you save with Aldermore you have the added peace of mind that comes from knowing your money is protected up to a total of £85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK’s deposit guarantee scheme. Please bear in mind that any deposits you have above the limit are unlikely to be covered.

Your business current account provider must be a UK bank or building society, authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority. Your business current account must allow electronic transfers to be made and received, and we may ask you to send us a bank statement to confirm your account details.

There are certain types of bank account that we can’t accept as your linked nominated account, as they aren’t fully licensed and regulated. These include accounts held with e-money providers.

We can't accept client money or hold accounts in trust.

We need to check your identity and address before we can open an account for you. This will mostly be done electronically, but we may need you to send some identification to us.

If we ask you to provide identification documents, we'll include details about how to do this when we get in touch.
