[s2ooz]

any suggestions for online business accounts? Im with abbey national business at the mo, and the site is worse than useless, it actually manages to crash my PC!!

Im totally hooked on personal online banking, and want the same facilities with my business account?

I've sent you an email separately as I there are some details I'd prefer not to post on a public forum (tel no's etc).

I use Barclays for business and online payments etc. So far they have been very, very good. The only thing I would change would be the fact that I cannot view my currency accounts online, but its not too much of a bother.

Cater Allen (or Flemings, as it was) have been mumbling about on-line banking for years.
I wish they'd get on with it as otherwise they are very good with things like free banking for x number of transactions per month, etc.

HSBC - Very good compared with others I have seen/tried.

I use the www.bankofscotland.co.uk/business/ its great. They pay you interest on your account and charge you nothing unless you have less than 4 grand in your account - you are then charged a huge 40 pence per cheque written.

Setting up transfers is so easy - compared to my Yorkshire Bank days its a godsend. Couldnt sing their praises enough.

thanks guys. FYI, theres some new banking rule thats say business accounts now have to offer

interest
or free transactions

so if your not getting one or the other, call your bank manager.

Abbey national attracted me originally, as I get BOTH as long as I do < 40 transactions a month

which is fine for now, but the on-line is a big thing to me, and the transactions charges will kick in soon.

I use Barclays, their system is pretty good. It allows me to look at my personal & business account on the same spreadsheet.
