You’ll also need to have a personal UK bank or building society account to transfer funds into your account.

Once you’ve decided the right account for you, simply fill out our online application or download the OakNorth app and apply directly there.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme is a body, funded by the financial services industry, providing automatic protection if your bank, building society or credit union goes out of business.
