What Countingup Is
- Countingup is a UK digital platform that combines a business current-account-style service and built-in accounting & tax tools — aimed at sole traders, freelancers and small limited companies.
- It is not a full bank. Instead, Countingup works via an e-money institution partner (Prepay Technologies Ltd, also called PPS) and is regulated for e-money services.
- It’s app-based: you sign up via smartphone, manage your cards, invoices, receipts, expenses and see your tax estimate in real time.
Key Benefits (Why You Might Choose Countingup)
- All-in-one solution: Instead of juggling one app for your bank account, another for invoice software and another for bookkeeping, Countingup tries to bring banking + accounting + tax-tools into one place.
- Quick to set up & easy to use: Many users report registration is fast and the interface is friendly for small/one-person businesses.
- Designed for small businesses: If you’re a sole trader or a small limited company (with few directors) you’ll likely find the features tuned for your needs (for example automatic categorisation of transactions, tax pots, invoice generation) rather than the heavy business banking aimed at large firms.
- Transparent pricing model: They publish tiers (for example, lower monthly fee for smaller incoming funds) so you can pick a plan that fits your business size.
Why choose us (if you’re using our recommendation)?
If you are:
- A sole trader, freelancer or small limited company in the UK,
- Wanting to simplify your financial life by combining business banking and basic accounting/tax in one app,
- Comfortable managing most things via smartphone/app rather than branch visits, then Countingup can be a very good fit.
Things to Know / Potential Drawbacks
- Because Countingup is not a “traditional bank”, your funds are safeguarded (kept separate) but not protected by the UK’s deposit-guarantee scheme (FSCS) in the same way a full bank account would be.
- Being very app-based and digital means if you prefer in-person branch banking, or need very complex banking features (overdrafts, multiple directors, very large deposits) you might find some limitations.
- Certain business types or structures may not be eligible. For example, Countingup currently limits the number of directors, and doesn’t support partnerships/trusts etc.
- Some users report that support is limited to certain hours via app/email (rather than 24/7 phone support) and that can be a drawback if you hit trouble outside office hours.
We recommend it because it addresses a commonly-overlooked niche: smaller businesses who don’t want the complexity or cost of full business banking + separate bookkeeping software. Countingup brings many of those into one platform with transparent pricing.
