I'm with Lloyds, but there business website functionality lags behind their personal banking website.

My mortgage however is with Santander/Abbey and I have not been able to check that this week due to it being unavailable!! Can login but not select the mortgage account.

Santander always worked fine for me, and their phone service has been OK. I've accounts with them and HSBC and I wouldn't say one was much better, my main issue with HSBC is they force me to use a stupid security device I have to take with me when I travel!

Business bank is with Lloyds, nothing spectacular but not a member of the faster payment scheme so takes 3 days for electronic transfers.

Personal bank is with Natwest and I can't recommend them enough, payments through the same day and if you have an iPhone a great app for balance transfers etc.

When I last looked at bank accounts in 2006 the only one I thought I could really trust was HSBC. Nothing since then has changed my opinion.

New bank? Santander/Abbey not fit for purpose

Can anyone recommend a decent free business bank? I need to leave Santander/Abbey because their website seems to be permanently down. Right now I am trying to pay a tax bill which is due in the next few days, and I am being prevented from paying it because of Santander/Abbey's incompetence.
