answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2020 answer text <p>HMRC are streamlining a number of their authorisation processes to make it quicker and easier for traders to use.

This means most businesses will be able to open DDAs without needing to provide a guarantee, unless they have a history of non-compliance or insolvency.
