We’ve partnered with Cater Allen Bank to offer the Reserve Account business bank account to our contractors.
The Reserve Account, provided by Cater Allen Bank (part of the Santander Group).
The Cater Allen Reserve Account is a business banking current account ideal for professionals who provide services to multiple clients through a Limited Company structure. This could include self-employed professionals such as contractors, consultants, interim managers, freelancers and locums.
Cater Allen recognises the growth within this sector and the requirement for these individuals to have an account that offers services such as duplicate statements and 24/7 online access to balances and transactions, to meet both their needs and those of their accountant. The Reserve Account also offers the high level of service and support you would expect from a private bank.
Key features:
