Client accounts explained

Client accounts can be a short-term or a long-term issue, such as with funds that are being held temporarily for a matter of days through to more permanent arrangements designed to last for years.

In terms of the type of client account used, they are broadly broken down into two groups: the first is in the form of a collective pool of clients’ cash. In this example – which is often the most common – this would involve many customers sharing a single bank account with all the funds due to those customers kept in that single client account and their entitlement carefully recorded. In such circumstances it is often the case that the customer will earn no interest on the money deposited with any profit going to the holding business. Commonly this is not a problem as the client monies are relatively small on an individual basis and reside in the account for only a short period of time.

The other form of client account relates to deposits of a more sizeable nature, such as where the money is being held in trust. In this instance it is normal practice for the solicitor or accountant to open a client account exclusively for that person. No other clients will share the account and any interest made is typically left for the beneficiary of the trust. However, some professions may charge a ‘handling fee’ to cover their own costs, such as only paying the client interest if the sum deposited is larger than £10,000.

The rules under which a professional business holds such funds should be clearly stated in advance so that you are fully aware of how client funds will be treated. There is also significant regulation over how client accounts must be managed by the company.

Regardless of whether the client account is a collective pool of several customers or a single, dedicated account, the monies are still protected by the UK depositor protection scheme, so that funds up to £85,000, or higher in certain circumstances, are safe in the very unlikely event of a bank going bust.
