What?

What is a startup business bank account?

A startup business bank account is a commercial current account designed specifically for new businesses offering free banking for 12 to 24 months to help manage cash flow in the critical early period. Most are from digital banks with fast online onboarding invoicing tools and accounting software integrations.
