We regularly review our fees and charges to make sure we’re providing value to you. While some fees are increasing, we're removing charges for day-to-day electronic payments through Online for Business to help make things simpler and easier to manage.
Charges for some cash and cheque services are increasing due to the rising cost of processing these types of payments. Charges for paying in cash or cheques using Immediate and Automated Deposit Machines, or the Business Mobile Banking app, will stay the same.

Independent service quality survey results
Business current accounts
Published February 2026
As part of a regulatory requirement, an independent survey was conducted to ask approximately 1,200 customers of each of the 17 largest business current account providers if they would recommend their provider to other small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs*). The results represent the view of customers who took part in the survey.
Overall service quality
We asked customers how likely they would be to recommend their business current account provider to other SMEs.
*SMEs include businesses, clubs, charities and societies with an annual turnover/income of up to £25m (exclusive of VAT and other turnover-related taxes).
