UK Business Information / Business Banking in the UK
International businesses setting up in the UK will usually require a UK bank account in order to conduct their business. As with UK based businesses, UK banks will undertake a certain amount of due diligence, which forms part of the anti-money laundering regime as set out in the Money Laundering Regulations 2007. It is important therefore not to underestimate the time it takes to set up a business bank account in the UK. At HSBC we have a dedicated UK Inward Investment team to assist in making this a smoother and a more efficient process.
