TSB is only accepting business current account applications from existing customers at this time. If you don’t already have a TSB account, TSB won’t be able to accept your application for a business current account. If you submitted an application before 20 September 2024, it will be progressed and TSB will be in touch. If you’re still interested in business bank accounts, check out our comparison of business bank accounts in the UK 2024.
TSB is a high street bank in the UK that was formerly part of the Lloyds Banking Group and is now owned by Spanish financial group Sabadell. TSB offers a range of banking products to its customers, which includes a business account. We picked it as the best high street business bank account because of the extra support it offers as well as its long introductory fee-free period.
To make comparing even easier we came up with the Finder Score. Fees, features and customer service across 20+ of the most popular banks are all weighted and scaled to produce a score out of 10. The higher the score the better the account – simple.

How we picked theseTSB offers one type of business account, called Business Plus. When you switch to TSB, you won’t pay any account maintenance fees for 30 months if you keep your account within your agreed limits and avoid being overdrawn without an arranged overdraft.
After this free period, you’ll be transferred onto a standard tariff, which includes a monthly fee. But it’s worth noting that if your business account balance averages above £10,000 over the course of a month, you won’t be charged the fee for that month.
On the standard tariff there are also some small charges for cheques and cash. But direct debits, other electronic payments and ATM withdrawals are all still free.
As well as Square and Enterprise Nation, TSB offers deals with other selected partners, including:
You can make international payments from the Business Plus account, but it doesn’t really have any other international banking services or offer a linked euro or dollar account.
The business debit card is operated by Visa, so it can be used by cardholders to make payments anywhere in the world that Visa is accepted.

Although it’s a high street bank, TSB only offers the one business account, but it is a pretty decent option. You can bank online, by mobile or in-branch, and have the option of a free or discounted Square card reader or terminal to take customer payments. There’s not much in the way of reporting or invoicing tools, like you get with some of the digital-only business accounts (unless you pay), but you can link up to software such as Xero and QuickBooks.
