Best Business Bank - any thoughts?

[Mr Ed]

I was with HSBC for 10 years until I went bust, and they were the best of a bad lot.

 

Why oh why do we not have decent credit unions for business in this country?

I just started a business account with NatWest, very straight forward, infact given my cynical way of thinking, I am waiting for the catch.

Personal account - HSBC

 

Business Account - RBS

 

Despite all the flack over the last few months , RBS have been good and given plenty off advice and help for starting a new business, local business manager is excellent and can be contacted directly.

 

Also RBS are the only bank about us that have Sat. opening

Natwest. 24 hr UK only call centres. Phone line to your local branch, not somewhere in India (Barclays / Lloyds).

Straightforward no-nonsense, easy access on-line. Free for 18 months.

 

Oh and their open on saturdays now aswell. And I do believe owned by RBS anyway???

RBS = Robbing Bastards Society

 

or Royal Bank of Scotland, for our younger members or politically correct users.

All banks want to earn money out of you, to get on well you need to have a good working relationship with the business manager. Pay your loans back on time and tell them when your gonna exceed your overdraft limit and buy an occasional personal insurance plan and they bump your credit rating up and up. I credit scored in the second highest level last year and they are happy to pile money in my lap.
