UK Bank Account Application Assistance

A bank account application is easier when the information is complete, consistent and ready before the provider starts asking questions. Missing documents, unclear ownership or a poor explanation of where funds come from can cause unnecessary delays.

Our Bank Account Application Assistance service helps clients get the paperwork right before an application is submitted. It can be used on its own or before Coutts Consultants makes an introduction to a suitable provider.

We check the application first

We review identity, address, company ownership, business activity, source of funds and expected use of the account.

If something is missing or inconsistent, we explain what needs to be corrected or supported before the application goes forward.

Help with source of funds

Providers may ask for evidence showing how money was earned or acquired, such as bank statements, accounts, contracts or sale documents.

We help organise genuine supporting evidence clearly. We never create, alter or disguise information.

Useful for more complicated applications

This can help overseas owners, newly formed businesses, international companies and applicants who have previously been asked for extra information.

Where ownership is complicated, we can also prepare a simple structure chart and organise the supporting company documents.

How Coutts Consultants can help

We review the proposed application, prepare a checklist and help organise the documents and explanation of the account requirement in straightforward language.

Coutts Consultants does not carry out the provider's own due diligence or approve accounts.
