    Cater Allen £10 fee??

    I've only had one statement but there’s a £10 fee on it and no explanation to what it was for? I thought it was free banking? The only thing I can think of is the online banking I've set up I hope its not monthly!
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Yes and yes I thought the transfers were free? I didn't ask for same day transfers just standard.

        So there's a fee for having <5k balance? I must read the small print in future!

          That's it mate. I don't know whether it's going below 5k during a month, averaging below 5k or ending the month on 5k. I think it's the 1st. The BACS transfers are free.

            They incur a fee of £10/month if the balance is under £5K, however if you opened it with one of the many accountants on here Cater Allen will waive the fee.

            None of our clients would pay the £10 charge.

              I'm considering moving my personal account to them. The tenner a month fee would be worth it in reduced stress levels alone...phoning them up is a pleasure....a bleedin' pleasure!!

                I am one of your clients, how do I get the fee waived?

                    Shame their parent company aren't as good - I've just had an income tax certificate for the past year for my Abbey Business Account! I would have spoken to them sooner, but after sitting on hold for 30 minutes (twice!) I gave up.

                    Now I need to wait until the end of my company year to claim the tax back!
