Why choose Alliance and Leicester?
Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank provides one of the UK's best banking solutions and offers the most competitive business banking current account in the market. For the last 5 consecutive years it has won recognition of this by winning the "Best Current Account Provider" category by Moneyfacts Magazine (a fully independent & highly regarded source).
Leisure & tourism businesses are often located in rural communities, where traditional banks are not often represented. The ability for customers to deposited funds into their Alliance & Leicester business account via the Post Office network is therefore an ideal solution to their banking needs. Our customers have access to over 14,000 post offices to deposit their cash and cheques, in addition to our branches, full internet access, postal and UK based telephone services.
In line with the traditional high street banks, we can offer a full range of services from loans, commercial mortgages, overdraft facilities, international payments, credit cards, merchant services, payroll etc and all of the other services that you would expect from a FTSE 100 Bank. Due to our low cost base, our pricing is always very competitive and hard to beat.
Our offer:
When it comes to business banking, Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank provides one of the UK's best business banking solutions. Our award-winning business banking products offer great value for money.
You'll be pleased to know our cash depositing charges are the best on the market too. The Free Business Current Account allows businesses with a turnover of up to £1,000,000 to:
- Deposit £4,000 a month in cash completely FREE
- Members will only pay a market leading rate of just 30p per £100 of cash deposited after that
- A credit interest rate of 6.26% AER (variable) rate guaranteed until 30th June 2008 on balances up to £1,000
- FREE and UNLIMITED cheques issued and deposited
- FREE and UNLIMITED Direct Debits and standing orders
- FREE and UNLIMITED BACS transfers
As well as offering fantastic value for money, the Free Business Current Account also gives you great convenience. Members can bank by phone, at any Alliance & Leicester branch, any of the UK's 14,000 Post OfficesTM or online using our online business banking service, mybusinessbank.
For businesses with a turnover of over £1,000,000 our charges are individually negotiated but the cash handling charge would be no more than 30p per £100 deposited. The average price for cash deposited in the high street is circa 55p per £100 and therefore our offer provides a significant cost saving to members.
For members whose turnover is more than £1,000,000 or need to borrow more than £100,000 they would have a dedicated business manager based on the Quayside in Newcastle.
This offer, in conjunction with the ability to bank via a local post office network makes Alliance & Leicester a very attractive alternative.
