If you’ve ever struggled to open a bank account or wanted something simpler and more flexible than the high street, a Suits Me account might be exactly what you’re looking for – a modern alternative to a UK bank account that works around you.
Suits Me is an award-winning personal banking account provider that gives you the full suite of everyday banking services and features, without the barriers. You get a contactless Mastercard® debit card, online and mobile banking (through our mobile app), and cashback at your favourite shops. It’s quick to open, easy to manage, and designed for everyone.
Who Can Open a Suits Me Account?
Suits Me was created with one big idea: managing money should be easy for everyone, no matter what their personal situation is.
That means it’s built for people who often find themselves excluded by traditional banks, such as:
- Newcomers to the UK who need an account to get paid – like international students, migrants, asylum seekers, refugees – and really, anyone else.
- People who lack adequate photo ID or the standard documents used to prove their address.
- People with poor or no credit history who’ve been turned down by high street banks.
- Agency and temporary workers who need a simple, fast way to receive wages.
- Anyone who prefers digital, easy money management without unnecessary red tape.
In short, Suits Me is for anyone who wants an account that works around their life, not the other way round.
