An easy access savings account is a type of account that lets you save money and earn interest with few restrictions. You can deposit and withdraw money without notice or penalty, and you can open an account with a small amount of money – only £1,000 with Recognise Bank.
The interest rate on an easy-access savings account is variable and can change with the Bank of England (BoE) base rate.
Easy access savings accounts are suitable for businesses looking for quick and easy access to their money. However, they offer lower interest rates compared to accounts where you must give notice before making a withdrawal.
If you are interested in viewing alternative savings accounts which offer a higher interest rate, check out our notice and fixed rate products which can be found on our business savings hub page.
Yes. Businesses can access their funds from their account at any time, with no notice period required.

| £1,000.00 | £31.50 | £1,031.50 | £31.55 | £1,031.55 |
The calculation assumes that:
- Your initial deposit is paid into the account on the day it is opened.
- It is not a leap year.
- No further deposits or withdrawals are made during the 12 month period.
- The interest rate does not vary during the 12 month period.
The calculation is for illustrative purposes only and does not consider your individual circumstances.
Cut-off times for deposit and withdrawal instructions refer to the latest time of day you can issue an instruction before it rolls over to the next day. Cut-off times for business savings accounts depend on the product terms and conditions.
Recognise Bank’s cut-off time for withdrawals is 2pm. If you request a withdrawal before that time, we will action the request on the same day.
We will do it on the following business day if you request it after that time.
Please be aware you are required to make your initial deposit within 14 days of opening your account.
