Handelsbanken business account review
In this review, you'll discover the main pros and cons of the business current account available from Handelsbanken.

Handelsbanken is a Swedish bank with over 160 branches in the UK.
It continues to impress customers with its levels of customer service and prides itself on being one of the most profitable banks in Europe.
Handelsbanken offers a simple yet effective business current account.
Here are the highlights:
Handelsbanken was rated third, with a score of 77% for overall service quality, out of 16 business banking providers included in a 2025 customer survey carried out by BVA BDRC on behalf of the Competition and Markets Authority, as part of a regulatory requirement.
To apply for a business current account, you’ll need to arrange an appointment at a local branch. You can do this by calling or emailing the branch. There is a branch finder on the Handelsbanken website to help you find these contact details. Alternatively, you can fill in a short form on the website and request a call back.
Here are some of the details you’ll need to provide in order to open your account:
There is a PDF checklist available on the Handelsbanken website, including all the information and documents you need to provide, depending on whether you’re a sole trader, partnership or limited company.
Handelsbanken also participates in the Current Account Switch Service (CASS), meaning it can complete a business account switch from your previous bank in less than seven working days.
There is a monthly fee associated with having a Handelsbanken business account, but the bank does not publish its rates. This is because it says it provides a bespoke service to customers, and its monthly fees are set on a case-by-case basis.
