Better business finance tool

As part of VAL’s request for support case work we have come across a number of organisations that are struggling to open bank accounts since the pandemic started.

The  Better Business Finance’s Business Bank Account Finder tool sets out the available bank account options in an entirely brand agnostic way, directing organisations to the full range of providers available and clicking through to banks’ account opening pages.  It is ad-free and has a number of filters to assist users.

Most relevant is the ability to filter accounts based on business type, which will allow Charities to view only relevant products.

There is also a useful ‘Covid Update’ button on each available product, with those firms currently closed to applications from new businesses highlighted in yellow and those open to new customers displayed in green.

The tool can be accessed here: www.betterbusinessfinance.co.uk/account-opening
