Supported banks
Most major UK banks support Open Banking, including Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, RBS, Santander, Nationwide, TSB, and many more.
Banks that require a bank transfer
Some banks don't support Open Banking yet, including:
Acorn Account for Business,
Allica Bank,
ANNA Money,
Barclays Corporate,
Card One Money,
Citibank, Countingup,
Handelsbanken, ING, Metro Bank, Soldo, and Triodos Bank.
For these, we’ll direct you to make a regular bank transfer instead.
First payment limitations
For your very first payment with these banks, use a bank transfer:
Tide,
NatWest Business,
HSBC Business,
Barclays Business and Corporate,
RBS,

After that, Open Banking works fine.
