UK Startup & Scaleup Week

Mettle by NatWest is a FREE business bank account created for UK-based freelancers, sole traders & limited companies with up to two owners (only one owner can access the bank account).

It’s ideal for anyone starting out in business & existing micro business owners who want to keep their business finances separate from their personal bank account.

A Mettle account is completely FREE to open & you can receive a cash payment of £50 into your account if you follow the steps below:

1. Sign up for an account at www.mettle.co.uk
2. Download & open the mobile app, go to the ‘Account’ tab, click/tap ‘Redeem a code’ & enter 4YYM7
3. Pay something into your new Mettle business account from your personal account (can be as little as £5)
4. When your new debit card arrives in the post (usually within 3-5 days), if you make a card payment within 30 days of opening your account (e.g. buying a coffee), Mettle will pay £50 into your account!

Not only that but you can get FreeAgent accounting software completely FREE too (saving you up to £396 per year) by doing the following:

1. Open your Mettle mobile app
2. Go to the ‘Account’ tab, click/tap on ‘Connections’ & choose to add FreeAgent

(Both Mettle & FreeAgent are free to use together because they are both part of the NatWest Group & this is one of the ways the bank is actively helping to support more people to start their own business in the UK).

Already have a business bank account? You can still get 10% off a FreeAgent subscription

If you already have a business bank account (or just don’t want to open a Mettle account), you can still get 10% off a subscription to FreeAgent accounting software by using our referral link http://fre.ag/4ln1lgtw

(A new FreeAgent subscription comes with a free 30 day trial so the 10% discount will be applied if you decide to continue with a paid-for subscription & will be in addition to any other promotional discount they are offering).
