Using your business savings account

Tip:

Nationwide Business Savings accounts aren't current accounts. You can't use them for everyday business banking purposes.

Putting money in

Each of our Business Savings accounts starts with you making a single deposit. This can be between £5,000 and £10 million.

For an Instant Access Saver or Notice account, you can continue making deposits up to the maximum of £10 million.

For our Fixed-rate Deposit account, you can only make an initial deposit.
