Agree, but I've never seen such clause in a contract.

I guess it's a service provided by only certain accountants?
All the (chartered) accountants I've talked to never offered a free business account.
They offered introduction to paid business account but that's the usual.
If it's not and there is a free business banking account with a reputable bank out somewhere I'll be happy to look into it.
