If you\u2019re a freelancer, you should have a separate bank account to be able to receive all those lovely payments from the work you\u2019ve carried out. You can use your personal account as long as you are not operating as a business but it is not recommended. A bank account for a freelancer is simply a bank account that you use for your freelance payments and expenses. It works in the same way as most other bank accounts.<\/p>
As a freelancer, you don\u2019t strictly need to have a business bank account<\/a>. That\u2019s because your business (or self-employment) isn\u2019t legally separate from you. <\/p>
