The smart alternative to traditional business bank accounts

A business account allows you to store your funds, transfer money to pay bills, business expenses or employees. Business accounts provide a dedicated place to settle funds and transfer money from — so you can keep your personal and business finances separate.

When you sign up for your free Zeller Account online, you'll be granted a business account in a few minutes — complete with its own sort code and Account Number.

Once your business account is open, you can then add money to create an opening balance. You can also settle payments accepted with a Zeller Card Machine to your transaction account. Then, you'll see all of your payments, transfers, transactions, invoices, settlements and receipts from your Zeller Business Account. 

Signing up for a Business Account with Zeller is fast and free — you can open your business account in under five minutes, without having to visit a bank or complete lengthy paperwork.

There are no fees to sign up and start using your business account. Unlike many traditional business bank accounts, your Zeller Business Account can be opened online in minutes, without any monthly fees or minimum balance requirements. 

Zeller Business Account is built to make tracking expenses, transactions, transfers, payments and settlements easier for any type of business.

Zeller gives you a free business account when you sign up online. There are no contracts, monthly account fees or setup costs, and we'll never charge you to withdraw or settle funds. 

When opening a business bank account, you should consider which functionalities you need to better run your business and the costs associated with the account.

The Zeller Business Account is a great alternative to traditional business bank accounts, as it is easy to open, free to use and with smart features to have better control of your business expenses.

Yes! When you sign up for a free Zeller Business Account, you’ll receive a free Zeller Debit Card along with real-time transaction tracking, simplifying bookkeeping and making expense management much easier. You can choose between a virtual and a physical card. Your physical Business Debit Card will be shipped to you quickly and at no cost.

If you need immediate access to the Zeller Debit Card, you can also create a digital business debit card directly through your Zeller Business Account online. This digital card can be added to both Apple and Google Wallets for contactless payments. There’s no paperwork or need to visit a bank branch—signing up takes just a few minutes online.

Choosing the best business account for your needs is an important step in business growth. The business account you select can have a big impact on your finances - both in terms of how you manage business funds, and the fees you might need to pay. The right business account will align with your business’ needs and keep costs low, while providing quick, easy access to your takings as quickly as possible.

A transaction account built for business

A business account is a transaction account traditionally offered by incumbent banks. These business bank accounts don’t always align with the needs of modern business owners. High fees, excessive paperwork, and long application processes can sap your energy, turning what should be a basic task into a drawn-out process. These are just a handful of reasons why UK Businesses aren’t satisfied with the Big banks.

In recent years, digital banks and neobanks have introduced similar offerings — reducing red tape and simplifying the sign-up process for time-poor merchants.

Features of the best business accounts

Business accounts offer a single place to accept settlements and make payments, while keeping your business and personal finances separate. Different banks and alternative providers offer additional features and services, on top of the base offering, which usually come with extra costs.

With Zeller’s free Business Account, you'll find it easier to:

• track your business’s income

• monitor business expenses

• separate business finances from your personal finances

• complete tax and other reporting paperwork

Discover our no-fee transaction account

Zeller is a modern financial solution with the needs of business owners just like you in mind.

When you sign up for Zeller, you receive a free business transaction account as well as a Zeller Mastercard — no trip to the bank or waiting in a phone queue necessary.

When you use the entire Zeller solution, you have all the tools to help grow your business.

Faster access to your funds

Funds accepted via your Zeller card machine are settled into your Zeller Business Account nightly, meaning you put your money to work faster. Payments processed before 9 PM will be available to spend by 1 AM the next day.

It’s the fastest way to access your takings.

You also have the flexibility to sweep funds to any existing bank account.

Less fees, more value

There are a few ways banks typically make money from business transaction accounts, including monthly account-keeping fees. Zeller Transaction Account, on the other hand, comes with no monthly fees or hidden charges. There are also no lock-in contracts. We are aiming to build the best no fee transaction account in the UK.

Banks also tend to place a cap on the number of transactions that can be processed every month, before additional processing fees are charged. Zeller Business Account does not have any such limit. It’s just one way we keep more money in your pocket.

Complete financial oversight

Business accounts make it easy to accept settlements and send payments. By using Zeller Transaction Account as your business account, you’ll be able to get the whole picture of your cash flow. Zeller Dashboard gives you real-time visibility over your daily takings, enabling you to identify trends and make smarter business decisions — from staffing, to marketing, and beyond.

You can even set up separate Zeller Transaction Accounts to easily track and manage business spending.

Better business relationships

Zeller Contact Directory is a free customer management tool built right into your Zeller Transaction Account. Use it to start building real relationships with your customers and suppliers.

Track every payment, transaction or account transfer with a specific contact, in one location. Plus, rich details and information about the business you’ve spent with using your Mastercard is available from right within the dashboard.
