I appreciate this video a lot, thank you. Could you do a video for the best ‘business’ bank accounts for receiving international payments? I tried to use my Monzo but many companies don’t like that you’d have to go through a third party such as TransferWise, and so don’t support it

Hi there. I just found this video, very useful. Thanks. I wanna register an LTD and open an online business, so I'm looking for the best option as a business bank account. So far I would go for Starling after comparing with other providers. Are you aware of any other fees? Does they have good conversion for international payments? Other than Starling, I also noticed Tide or Cashplus. What do you recommend between those 3?

Recently I have opened new company and decided to bank with Starling but like I said they rejected me twice with no reason and no explanation why.

You could do as I used to which was take advantage of the free 12 to 18 months as a new customer, then switching for another, and then again. But eventually you'll run out of those and either have to pay or try one of the digital banks. Check out the article with more details on all those accounts.

With this business, there we will be taking a lot of card transactions with £10-20 amounts from the customers. Kindly any suggestions for what type of device device and bank to use to take payments from the customers. As its a small business, the more we can save on card transactions the better. Any kind advice will be welcomed. Many thanks. Muhammad Salah.

Are you asking about cancelling a business current account? If so you can always move your business bank account to another bank and stop paying the fee when you do. You can usually use the switching service too. If it's the limited company you want to close then yes you can do this, but it's more complicated. I found this guide which might be helpful www.crunch.co.uk/knowledge/limited-company/how-to-close-limited-company-down-options/
