    Natwest Sucks. Account Refused

    Hi. I am currently in between contracts. A lot on my plate, including getting my car repaired aswell, as getting finances and life in order.
    Left my umbrella company because they were unreliable, cost a lot and most of the time I had to negotiate between them and the agency just to get paid. Stuff that they were meant to do.
    In early june formed my own ltd co. Thought this would take all the hassle away from using an umbrella co. All went well. Got my Cert of Incorp in the post and sent forms to Natwest for a business account. Thought it would take 3-4 days as they advertised. After three weeks of calling them, I discovered that the account was denied. Would not give me a reason. The company sec even has an personal account with them.
    How the **** can they make me wait 3 weeks only to tell me that the account was denied. All the forms and details were correct and up to date, I made sure of that. Atleast they could tell me why they refused to accept my co on their boxs.
    I think I am going to register a business account with every bank offering business accounts that there is here, and for all that dont give enough interest or annoy me, will just treat them the same way Natwest treated me.
    If that does not work, will just make an off-shore account or if that does not work. even start my own bank if its possible. Hehe, if that does not work, will just get agencies to pay me through paypal.
    This has really upset me. Not only is it hard enough for an engineer with no CCNA or MCSE to get a contract these days, banks pis***** people off about, just adds to the wound.

    Some tips. Stick some white space in your posts and don't waste time on here.

          The sort of idiot who would go to Natwest for a business account should be exterminated!

              I used to be with them and paid a lot in charges. Not sure if it's still the same but got charged for every transaction. Try Abbey.

                Banking

                The law was changed some years ago to enable Citizens Savings Banks & Trusts. If there is a group with a common purpose they can start up their own bank.

                We would not need much office space and the banking could be automated on the Internet. There are a few communities in UK that has already done this.

                Banking is easier than you think. Up until a few years ago IOM banks were being run in the upstairs rooms of town houses.
