Dont think they are linked but they have a relationship with them for payments like next working day etc.
In the future will say about the job thing
| You are not legally required to open a business account if you are only a sole trader, so the only possible obstacle may be the banks and their own policies. If they try to force business accounts on you, tell them that you don't want them since you applied and got rejected recently, and do not want to hurt your credit record again. That is what I did.

| That is what I did, but I see it as protecting myself anyway since I told them from the outset what I would be doing, so if they did not like it, they could have refused there and then; I do not have to worry about them contacting me one day and saying that they do not like what I use the accounts for. |
