What Our Clients Say About the Free Business Bank Referral

We’ve helped businesses big and small get started in the UK.

Strongly recommend

Mint referred me to Barclays based on my business type, and the entire process was efficient. No paperwork confusion — just straight to the point.

Ayesha Begum

Easy-to-use website

Mint Formations made the enitre process of setting up a company very straight-forward and easily. I could have done this myself, but for a relatively inexpensive deal, Mint took care of it for me, including reaching out to other services required, e.g. banking. Can't fault it really.

LIFE PERSPECTIVE LTD

Polite and professional

The easiest startup experience I have ever had, I paid, answered some questions, gave them my due diligence docs and whatnot, then suddenly it all happened magically and now I have a company formed and a bank account opened like magic. Its a friction free low effort process, which I appreciated.

Setting up a dedicated business bank account is essential for managing your company’s finances, maintaining records, and staying compliant with HMRC.

  • Only available to UK residents

    Our banking referral service is available exclusively to UK residents who incorporate their company through Mint.

  • Faster than applying independently

    Using our referral reduces application errors and connects you directly with the appropriate banking contact—no call centres, no guesswork.

The bank will contact you directly with next steps. We guide you on what to expect but do not handle the bank’s internal application process.

Can I request a specific bank?

You may share your preference, but the final referral is based on your business type, bank eligibility, and which provider is best suited to your needs.
