    2. Go to ‘Settings’
    3. Select ‘Manage Account’

    1. Log in to Cashplus Online Banking
    2. Go to ‘Add-ons’ and ‘Creditbuilder’

    Through the Cashplus Bank app/Online banking, you can download up to 24 months worth of statements 60 days after closing your account. If you’d like to request a longer period than 24 months, our Customer Services team can send you up to the last five years of your transaction history, as is required by banking regulations. You can also ask us for your statements at a later date but you’ll only ever get up to five years’ worth from the day you request them. For example, if you request your payment transaction history three years after closing your account, you’ll only receive the last two years of statements for that account.

Dissolved Business Closure

  • A strike off notice could be for a few reasons, most likely if you haven't submitted up-to-date annual accounts or paid your tax. From the moment Companies House issues a strike off notice, you have three months until your business is removed from the register.

    If that happens, we’ll have to close your Cashplus Business Bank Account and pass any funds in it to the relevant Government Treasury. If you weren’t intending to dissolve your business, contact Companies House as soon as possible to understand what's happened and update your business status. If you cancel the strike off notice, Companies House will let us know and we'll keep your business bank account operating as normal.

  • If your business has been dissolved and is no longer trading, we’re obliged by law to close your Cashplus Business Bank Account and transfer any funds left in it to the relevant Government Treasury. Depending on where your business was registered in the UK, you’ll need to speak to that Treasury entity about your funds and what happens next.

  • Unfortunately, we can’t reopen closed Cashplus accounts. But you can easily apply for a new business bank account in a matter of minutes.

  • Simply put, yes! But it’s important to know that you won’t be able to transfer any funds in your existing limited company account directly to your new sole trader account. If you do apply for a sole trader account, we won’t take into account the previous financial history of your limited company when making a decision.

  • While you’re in discussion with Companies House your account remains suspended and we’re not allowed to give you access to use it. If Companies House reinstates your company and registers it as active once again, contact us and we’ll see if we can reinstate your Cashplus Business Bank Account.

    However, we can only suspend an account for 12 months before we close it permanently, at which point it can’t be reopened. If that’s the case, you can apply for a new Cashplus Business Bank Account.

  • If your business has been dissolved by Companies House, we’re bound by law to close your Cashplus Business Bank Account as the entity that owns its funds (your business) no longer exists. If this is the case, you can find out what to do next by reading the FAQ "My business has been dissolved, what will happen to my Cashplus Business Bank Account and the money in it?".

    If we intend to close your account for any other reason, we’ll email you well in advance to explain what we’re doing and why. If you haven’t seen any emails from us, please check your spam folder. If they’re not in there, you can call our Customer Services Team and we’ll try to sort it out for you.

  • We’ll only close an account when we know the business it was opened for has been dissolved by Companies House. Although we do regular checks on business statuses with Companies House, there can be a time difference between your business closing and us finding out, as we don’t get notified directly.

  • Any money you paid into your Cashplus Business bank Account prior to dissolution will have been sent to the relevant Government Treasury. You can find out more about what happens to your closed account funds by reading the FAQ 'My business has been dissolved, what will happen to my Cashplus Business Bank Account and the money in it?'.

  • Any refunds or money paid into your Cashplus Business Account prior to dissolution will have been sent to the relevant Government Treasury. You can find out more about what happens to your closed account funds by reading the FAQ 'My business has been dissolved, what will happen to my Cashplus Business Account and the money in it?'.

  • If an account is overdrawn when we close it because the business it’s associated with is dissolved, we have to report it to the Credit Reference Agencies (CRAs). To see how this affects you specifically, you can speak to any of the CRAs directly and ask for your credit score and credit report (which they may charge you for depending on which you speak to and how much information you want).

  • Yes. You can make a bank transfer payment from a different account to pay off your Cashplus Business Bank Account balance using your Account Number and Sort Code. If you don’t know how much you owe or your account details, you can contact us.

Terms and Conditions apply, including applicants being resident in the UK & aged 18+ and, if relevant, businesses being based in the UK.
