What is a GBP bank account for a business?
A GBP business account gives a company a sort code and account number in its own name. With Rivet, UK clients pay by Faster Payments as they would pay any UK supplier, and the pounds land in a GBP balance within moments, weekends included. It is available from the Growth plan, after verification.
What each line does
Account name
Your registered company name. UK banks compare it with what the payer typed before the money moves.
Sort code
Six digits that identify the bank and branch. UK clients ask for this first.
Account number
Eight digits, yours alone. With the sort code, it is all a UK payer needs.
How clients pay you
UK businesses pay suppliers to a sort code and account number. Give them one and paying you is routine.

Who it suits
Bill in pounds and skip the international transfer. The client pays you the way they pay anyone else.
Monthly retainers land in a GBP balance, and you convert them only when you choose.
Quote in pounds and receive pounds, so the buyer’s bank never picks your exchange rate.
