CIC bank account

Finance

Vaishali Patel Founder at Cotton Pony Posted 4 years ago

Hi everyone
Looking for some bank account advice.
I recently registered as a CIC and so now need a business bank account.
However I've applied for one at Starling, Lloyds TSB charity account, both have been rejected.
I'm waiting on Virgin Money to assess.
Co-op are quoting 12 weeks to assess and open an account.
CAF i need to download paper form and post that back.
Is there a simple account i can open that maybe isn't so strict on credit checks etc, as all i need is an account i can put money into and pay for things from.
Right seems impossible right now
