Business accounts and merchant services
Alongside property finance we can introduce you to a digital banking partner for IBAN business accounts and card payment services. This is an introduction, not a product we provide.
Read this first. Amram Finance is a property finance broker. We do not provide banking, e-money or payment services, and we do not hold client money. Everything on this page relates to an introduction to a third-party provider who does, and the terms of any account are between you and them.
What the introduction covers
- A business current account with a dedicated IBAN
- UK and international payments in multiple currencies
- Merchant services for taking card payments in person and online
- Account opening that is usually faster than a traditional bank
- Support for companies that high-street banks find difficult to onboard
Exactly what is available depends on the provider and on your business. We will set out the specifics before you apply.
About this service
Does Amram provide the account itself?
No. This is an introduction to a digital banking partner who provides the account and the merchant services. Amram Finance is not a bank, an e-money institution or a payment services provider, and we do not hold client money.
How is Amram paid for the introduction?
Where the provider pays us a fee for the introduction, we will tell you before you apply. It costs you nothing either way, and it has no bearing on the finance we arrange for you.
Who is this suitable for?
Businesses that need a functioning account quickly, companies with international payment needs, and trading businesses that take card payments. It is not a substitute for advice on which banking arrangement suits your business.
Is my money protected?
That depends on the provider. Money held by a bank is generally covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme; money held by an e-money institution is instead safeguarded in a separate account, which is a different protection. We will tell you which applies before you apply, and you should confirm it with the provider directly.
Do I have to use this to get property finance?
No. The two are entirely separate. Taking a business account has no bearing on the finance we arrange for you, and we will not make one conditional on the other.
Property finance is our main business
