Frequently asked questions
What are business savings accounts?
They are accounts businesses can use to earn interest on money they don’t need to keep in a current account for day-to-day expenses. Most business current accounts do not pay interest on positive balances, so if you keep surplus cash in your business current account you are probably missing out on a simple way of making your money work harder and earning your business extra revenue.
What is the difference between a savings account and a current account?
A business savings account is very simple in that it allows you to set aside excess money in your business to keep it separate from the account you use for everyday income and expenditure and to earn interest on surplus money which would otherwise earn little or no interest in your current account. A business savings account doesn’t usually come with a payment card, cheque book, overdraft or other facilities a current account may offer.
Are there different types of business savings accounts?
There are three common types of savings account:
Fixed term bonds – These allow you to set aside a one-off sum for a specified length of time and earn an agreed rate of interest during that period. However, with most fixed term bonds, you cannot withdraw your money during the term of the bond, so you should only deposit funds you won’t need to access during that time.
Notice accounts – These allow you to deposit funds whenever you wish and to earn an agreed variable rate of interest on your balance. However, you can only make withdrawals after giving the required notice. For example, with a 40-Day Notice Account you would have to request a withdrawal 40 days before you needed to have the money. These accounts offer more flexibility than fixed term bonds and usually pay a slightly lower interest rate as a result.
Instant access accounts – These offer the greatest flexibility as you can withdraw your money at any time. However, these typically pay the lowest rates of interest of the three main types of business savings accounts. United Trust Bank don’t currently offer instant access accounts.
How do I apply for an account?

Can I open a business savings account if I or a director/shareholder lives outside of the UK?
At the time of making your application, all signatories and shareholders must be individuals who permanently reside in the UK for tax purposes, and we reserve the right to decline an application if any signatory or shareholder is resident outside of the UK.

The minimum initial investment is usually £5000 per account and the maximum is £1,000,000. If you wish to deposit more than this, please click here to find out how we can help you.
Can my business hold multiple savings accounts?
There is no limit on how many savings accounts you open with United Trust Bank, so you can choose to spread your funds over multiple accounts if you wish, both with our fixed rate and notice products.
If I own more than one business, can I open accounts for each of them?
Yes, though please note you need to have a different email address for each business.
What happens to the funds when the account reaches maturity?
We will both write to you and email you (if you have an email address registered with us) approximately two weeks before your account is due to mature, outlining your options for reinvestment.
It is important that you provide your instructions before the maturity date to secure any preferential existing customer rate you are offered. If we do not receive instructions by the maturity date, your funds will be transferred to a holding account paying just 0.10% AER gross, where they will remain for a maximum of 28 days before being returned to the nominated bank account we hold on file for you.
