Business Savings Account

As an aside, Cater Allen have a very good 35-day notice account offering 2.85%.

I already bank with CA. I may put some into notice account. Thanks.

Do any business accounts offer benefits like personal accounts do? For e.g. if you get a Personal Natwest Premier Black account, you get family travel insurance, emergency cover, lounge access etc.

It's a bit of a PITA to open - analogue forms - but you can manage it online once open.

Some American Express Business cards do.

A timely reminder to keep your deposits under 85K per institution - dodgy paying-in methods or otherwise

If you think they're bad, try Shawbrook or Kent Reliance... it's next day (although, TBF, they don't promise anything different). It's surprising how few business savings accounts implement truly fast, fast payments - Virgin Money does, for example.

I had experience with Kent Reliance when handling my dad's affairs when he had dementia. It's like something out of the 1950s.

Just got an email from Shawbrook.

Their easy access business account is now up to 2.26% fwiw as of 28th March.

Just got an email from Aldermore.

Their easy access business account is increasing from 2% to 2.15% - I'll try not to spend all that extra £20 interest a year all at once.

Just got an email from Recognise.

I think you mean Shawbrook...
