Sorry TSB have got to be the worst for business
Its probably an equal then cos if they are worse than santander then they shouldn't exist!
I had a phone call only last week of a lass saying she was my new 'ag manager ' and was ringing up to ' touch base'. I then had to explain to her why I couldn't stop to talk as I was hauling bales before the rain came . "Oh does the weather affect you then " was the reply !!!!!
She is based in Liverpool....I'm in Hereford !!
 
also have a none farming business with Starling who are very simple and low cost if requirements are simple

both make Lloyds (who we use for farm and another business) look like a dinosaur

Anyone else got an opinion on Starling bank. Someone else I know of highly rated them but there are some poor reviews on Trustpilot (which can just be people moaning). As my son needs a simple business bank account.

I'm with Starling and I really like them. It was easy to set up an account and I get instant notifications whenever a transaction is made. Cheques are easy to pay in but they don't provide you with a cheque book for yourself. I don't have an overdraft facility or need any loans so I can't comment on that part.

the challenger banks are really changing things fast

Lloyds just took over 3 months to open a simple trust account and last year a new business with them took 4 months !

the starling business account opened last year took a day !

The lockdown has really found out the high street banks and how they can provide internet banking. The challenger banks have always been internet based so they have been able to provide a quick service throughout.

Starling is no good if your a partnership. They don't do an account for partnerships.

If they did I would.almost certainly love to them
