Struggling to open a business bank account

We have corporate shareholders & can't find a bank that will allow us to open a business account

Didn't find your answer?

I really need some help! We have a newly formed company that has 3 directors and 5 shareholders. 2 of the shareholders are companies.

This seems to be an issue with all the business bank accounts I've looked at so far.
Does anyone have any idea which bank will accept corporate shareholders when setting up a bank account?

You seem to have a variation on a common theme. There might be something useful in these:

Do you mean they've turned you down, explicitly excluded new customers with corporate shareholders? Or just the online applications don't make it easy to apply for accounts when you have corporate shareholders?
