We find a lot of our customers want multiple cards for their business, whether it's for staff or another director. Just type 'add cardholder' into the app and one of our team will pick up the request in a few moments.

Add funds to your business account

You can make the most out of your ANNA business account when you have money in it! Just type ‘Add funds’ in the chat to get started. You’ll get your ANNA account number and sort code to make a bank transfer in. If you’re ready to invoice a customer, type ‘Create invoice’ to set up and send your first invoice. Cha-ching.
