I’ve used lloyds as well – pretty poor online system (doesn’t update
until the next day!)

It seemed very bureaucratic and old fashioned next to the coop.

Subject: [entrepreneur-1056] UK Business Bank Accounts

 

Hello All

I’m setting up a business bank account for my company, and I haven’t
heard
great things about banks and their treatment (or lack of) business
account
customers.

Do people have any suggestions? Also, should my choice be between
companies
(i.e. HSBC vs. Abbey) or based on other factors, like number of
branches, or
proximity to my house / office, or does it just come down to getting a
good
bank manager and hoping he doesn’t move branches / jobs?

If this makes a difference, bank loans are not going to be needed in
the near
future (though an overdraft never hurts), and our weekly transactions
are
expected to be low, as we are an IT consulting company.

Many thanks
