Currency Accounts

Making the most of your foreign currency

• One all-purpose account per currency for maximum flexibility
• Available in all major foreign currencies
• No maintenance fee and no minimum balance requirement
• Online access via Corporate Online

Benefits

Our all-purpose currency account could be of real benefit if your business regularly makes and receives payments in a foreign currency. It could let you use the money received from your customers to pay your suppliers, if trading in the same currency, which may help to reduce your exposure to exchange rate movements and facilitate your cash flow management. It's also a convenient place to deposit surplus funds without having to convert them to sterling.

We offer accounts in all major foreign currencies. As with any current account, we provide regular statements and a cheque book in the currency of the account (recommended for use only within the UK).

There's no minimum balance and we don't charge a maintenance fee simply for having the account. Instead, charges are levied on individual transactions. We also pay credit interest in line with the balance maintained*.

Accessing your account

Just as with your sterling account, you can access your currency account in a number of ways:

• Telephone Banking : registered users can check currency account balances and carry out day-to-day transactions.
• Corporate Online : this service enables you to view account balances and instruct payments online
