Treasurer’s Account

If you represent a non-profit organisation then let us take the hassle out of your banking so that you can spend your time on what matters most.

We are currently receiving a high number of Business Current Account applications, so it may take us longer than usual to open your account. After we receive all required information, your account should be open within 4 weeks.

Please note, new customers cannot open a Business Current Account to access the Recovery Loan Scheme. To be eligible for the Recovery Loan Scheme you must be an existing Bank of Scotland business customer for a minimum of 12 months.
