Business bank account

But the internet banking doesn't actually work...

I used Cater Allen Internet banking at the weekend and it all seemed to work OK. Have I missed something?

I don't know about the internet side of it, but I've always found Cater Allen provide excellent service over the phone/fax.

No problems with Abbey Business Banking. I'd recommend it...

I use HSBC, up and running with the account on the same day. Got a credit card, savings account too same day. I had cards, internet banking etc up and running within 10 days.

It's great when it's up and running. They seem to have an alarming amount of "unscheduled downtime" though. I tend to find that the website won't fire up at least once a week when I need it to.

Thanks (I think) to everyone for their horror stories!

After all that, looks like I'll be going with A&L, unless anyone has any truly negative experiences of them.

Nope I am with A&L, no problems whatsoever...Good customer service (I forgot my online details so had to use them ), phone and internet works great...And fantastic interest rates...But most of all, an online CHAPS facility which I quite like...And don't charge as much for CHAPS as some of the others mentioned...

Cater Allen. You just can't fault thier service.
I have never had a problem with them, and now that they have internet banking it should get even better. Although I still phone, (old habits die hard)

I use Barclays Bank. I have my personal account with them for 10 years so not sure if this was the reason they set up the account within 2 days (meaning i had all account details and stationary). It's free for 12 months and then as long as you don't use the counter it continues to be free for ever.

I also can access the company account via my personal online link making transferring money (salary) a lot easier and very quick

Hope this helps
