Business bank account - do you pay?

[TheFaQQer]

Wondering whether most ppl here pay for their business bank accounts? I am on a 18m free banking deal, that'll be up in june. I just looked around to switch but looks like most banks offer just 6 months for switchers? Switching every 6 months is such a pain! No option but to pay ???

Have never paid, and don't intend to. Was with Abbey, now Santander.

Mrs is with Santander for her small business..
Free but only annoying thing is you cant pay in over the counter.

Tried it - they wont do it. They make you the cashpoint machine to pay in. Now I've no issue paying in cheques this way but for cash I'd rather have a proper receipt with a total on rather than just stuff it all in a sealed envelope.....

But do they pay any interest on business savings accounts. Barclays only pay a paltry 0.5% (for any month in which you don't take money out of the savings a/c)... not much but it adds up if you have a few mil in there

My account pays 0% I _think_, but you get a free savings account you can transfer money in/out freely online - the longer you don't withdraw money, the more interest it pays. Still crap, but you can get _something_.
