uk banks are not opening business accounts except 1
 

Except Barclays , one cant seems to open a new business account in the UK
not to flash on internet banks which does not have human interaction but online chat / email support

even one tries to open business account with barclays and are not existing client, the chances are a ''refusal ''

on the other hand Brexit is forcing banks to close current accounts for Europe-based customers because they fail to negotiate a passporting system for financial services.

the impression of a banking system in crisis, unable to service general people

Millions find themselves unemployed in the coming months and unable to get work, many will want to start up new businesses to get back on their feet. That’s how economies, and families, tend to recover from recessions. But if they can’t access banking services, recovery is just another word

there is a long road ahead of the crisis...!!!!

It is very easy to open a UK business account and I haven't even used Barclays! Somethings wrong with your application technique. (although I suspect this is more of an anti-brexit rant)

I haven't stepped inside a bank in a decade, seriously. Everything is now done online.

Re: uk banks are not opening business accounts except 1
 

from my experience you can get a business account as long as you can be accepted as a personal account customer. if you just apply without being a customer then at least this is going to reduce your chances. anna etc. is not that bad but it is not bank and is unstable comparing to a real high street bank
