How quickly can I access and take control of my client’s funds?

Once an account is opened, you can switch an existing current account using the Current Account Switch Service, with funds typically accessible within seven working days. This rapid access enables you to take control of your client’s financial position much sooner than traditional processes allow. As a result, you can act immediately in your client’s best interests—whether that’s stabilising their finances, arranging care, or addressing urgent needs—without being held back by delays.
