Opened sole trader account with Lloyds via Halifax after Barclays taking for ever (to be fair they paid 3 ltd accounts just my sole trader account had issues)
Opened Friday and applied Friday, cash in new account Tuesday
Note: If you have an account with Bank of Scotland or Halifax you can onboard with Lloyds and apply for a BBL with them.
Be aware you need to read the terms and conditions to do so as you are required to have held an account with BoS or Halifax before a certain date mentioned on their website.
