Alternative banking for complex and high-risk businesses
Specialist business banking

High-risk business bank accounts

Banking pathways for eligible businesses that require enhanced due diligence because of sector, geography, transaction model or compliance profile.

Source of funds

Evidence supporting revenue sources, capital flows and expected transaction activity.

Business model

Transparent explanation of products, customers, jurisdictions and fulfilment.

Formation records, registers and proof of operating address.

Financial evidence

Statements, processing history, forecasts and management information where available.

Compliance documents

Policies, licences where required, AML controls and sector-specific procedures.
