Aberdeen-based accountancy firm Infinity Partnership has partnered with UK mobile-only challenger Starling Bank.
It will now offer clients banking support via a new platform deal.
Starling's recently set up accountancy partner programme now helps around 500 accountancy practices across the UK, many of which have clients that have struggled to set up accounts in person during the coronavirus lockdown.
The programme therefore offers online business account setup within 72 hours, with a dedicated partner application link and marketing pack provided.
Greg Houston, associate director at Infinity Partnership, said: “We’ve made a significant commitment to digital accountancy in recent years to strengthen our client services, so partnering with Starling represents a logical progression.
“From banking and business strategy to accountancy and tax advice, we’re here to support clients during these challenging times and this partnership adds new breadth and depth to our service offering.”
Symmie Swil, head of SME banking at Starling Bank, said: “We’re pleased to be making this connection with Infinity at a time when many companies can capitalise on the many advantages this approach offers.”
Starling’s account solutions offer simple money management and 24/7 support, with no monthly fees.
It is an accredited lender of British Business Bank, supporting both the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBILS) and the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans Scheme (CBILS).
Infinity, which has a UK-wide client base, specialises in research and development tax relief, mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance. More than 80% of its clients are involved in the energy sector.
