Opening

We’re working hard to do all we can to help our existing business customers who are in urgent need of support under the Bounce Back Loan Scheme.

This means that we aren’t currently accepting new applications for the Client Saver, but we will review this position over the coming weeks and further details will be available on our website.

You may apply for a "Designated Client Saver Account" or a "General Client Saver Account", but you must specify which at account opening;     

• a Designated Client Saver Account is used to hold client money in a single account for a  single client such as auditors, tax advisers, or property managers for holding rental  income. (If the Account is Designated you will name your client in your application form);
•  a General (Pooled) Client Saver Account is  designed for regulated businesses such as solicitors who are involved in financial and property transactions, as well as landlords and property managers for holding tenants’  service charges and security deposits. A General (Pooled) Client Saver Account is used to hold client money in a single account for a number of clients.
