If I was cynical I'd think that the banks want everyone on business accounts because you have to pay fees to have one.

 

When I opened my business account there were no fees and it's stayed the same since.

The gov rules specifically say that personal account is ok.

 

As I said Lloyds are rolling it out on Wed.

 

I think some banks are not pleased re lending at 2.5%

You need a business to set these up but don't need a business bank account. At least some of the banks offering these loans don't require you to have a business account with them.

Yours is not the only one lying, a mate was told he could not take one out & use it to pay off other debts.

 

They just did not want to loose the 9% loan with them.

On the form I just filled out there was an option to apply having only a current account. That with RBS, Nat West will be the same...

I just got an email from HSBC about it. Think we'll go for the full whack. Why the hell not? I'd rather have a decent contingency through what is starting to become a tricky time for us. 

Hmmm I've had nowt of HSBC yet...
