    Run your own overdraft for free. Put the bulk of your money in an Aldermore savings account then transfer funds in when you need to pay them or when balance dips below a certain amount. Your business should never be living month to month, apart from during the initial setup...

    How can you need a £100 overdraft. Sounds like you need to manage your money better.

    Good question as both the banks the questioner has been with provide an adequate service if you do your bookkeeping correctly.

    Lol.. Very good. Just wish someone called 'stupid' or 'moron' would post a question so I don't get a ban when I reply.

    Currently with Lloyds but tried to get a £100 overdraft, and they wanted to charge a one off fee of £100
    Also high fees for the rare occasion a standing order returned or un-authorised overdrawn (£50)

    So looking to move to get a £100 overdraft included in application at no cost.

    Been with Cater Allen but moved away as they dont to fast transfers to personal account

    Been with HSBC due to rubbish mobile banking app

    My Ltd has been going since 2007 so may not qualify for a lot of the new start up deals

    Any recommendations on good low cost accounts much appreciated
