We understand that different businesses have distinct needs, so we’ve made account opening quick and simple, even for complex scaling businesses.

Apply for a business current account faster than you can count sheep (<10 mins) and be up and running in as little as a few days – meaning you spend more time on the important things.

Once you’re a customer, you can open multiple current accounts in just a few clicks, each with unique details, to categorise your funds as needed. Setting up these accounts is quick and hassle-free.

27 hours 23 minutes to open – I’ve opened many bank accounts with many providers and this is a clear record – it’s like the 100 meters vs. a marathon!
Jeremy Gledhill, CFO at Honey
It took about as much time to set up the OakNorth account, as it does to order something off Prime…I’m usually difficult to impress – but I genuinely was surprised at how easy it was.
Richard Pearce, Co-Founder, Verto
I have been so impressed by the speed and transparency with which OakNorth operates. If the major clearing banks want to learn about how to genuinely do things differently, they should be looking at OakNorth.
Surinder Arora, Co-Founder and Chairman of Arora Group
The experience with OakNorth was genuinely delightful – fast, flexible, and focused. They may not be the cheapest lender in the market, but the quality of the experience makes the extra cost well worth it.
Paul Crookes and Dave Walker, Founders of CWC
We found OakNorth to be dynamic and entrepreneurial, but with an appreciation for rich insight and considerate decision-making.
Sophie Lawler, CEO of Total Fitness
OakNorth are utterly unique in their approach and have been a dream to work with – they are the only lender I’d recommend for entrepreneurs in high growth.
Matthew Mills, CEO of Deliciously Ella
