Bank Account

[Snackmore]

I use a seperate account with lloyds which I had as a kid but obviously its in my name and not the company. Considering having a company account however what are the costs and is it worth it? I get free banking through my current account

hadn't seen this post when i replied elsewhere but as a sole trader you can walk into lloyds and get a sole trader business account pretty much straight away, especially if they've already got you on the system.

a big problem for us is charges on the banking of cash so free banking really is a must. i'll pm you some sneaky ways round it in case my bank manager ever joins the forum

we're with santander, seem to do best deal atm for us and dont mind cash

Im with Lloyds too and I am charged each month for banking coins and each time I use my business card to pay for goods. I dont pay that much attention to the cost but somehow think its 40p.

I try taking some coins and paying for goods at cash n carry. Helps keeps the fees down. Pm me with any other sneaky ways. thx

I pay Nat West £25 per month, which I think is a rip off. I would be interested in any workarounds to cut these costs.

Cheers,

Heres a good one with Morrisons self pay tills , if you overpay it gives you the change back in notes! Cant shift a lot this way cause you look a tool ploughing pound coins in, however due to there design you can just pour them in if no ones about

I pour loads of coins in at Tesco self checkout and note that if you put in loads for your shopping it seems to always miss-count in your favour!
