In these uncertain economic times, you can feel secure in the knowledge that your business is in safe hands with Alliance & Leicester Business Bank, part of the Santander Group - one of the world's safest banks with operations in over 40 countries and more than 90 million customers.

They have recently been awarded the highly prestigious title of 'Business Bank of the Year 2009' by independent industry experts, Business Moneyfacts. What's more, they've also been named 'Best Business Current Account Provider' for a record seventh consecutive year.

Whether your customer is starting a business or has an established business, Alliance & Leicester Business Bank can offer Retail Merchant Services members great value business banking. The Free Business Current Account is available to businesses with an annual turnover up to £1 million. For customers starting their own business, the Business Builder Current Account is available to businesses that have been trading for less than 6 months and with an annual turnover of less than £500k.

Free Business Current Account

As a member of Retail Merchant Services you can gain access to award winning banking at preferential rates. The Free Business Current Account gives you free and unlimited*:

  • Cheques issued and deposited
  • BACS payments
  • Direct Debits and standing orders
  • ATM withdrawals
Plus:
  • Free cash deposits up to £3,000 every month followed by a specially negotiated rate of 45p per £100 deposited thereafter
  • Highly competitive overdrafts and loans

Unlike most banks, they don't charge a monthly fee. All they ask is that payments into your account total at least £1,000 each month (excluding transfers between your Alliance & Leicester accounts) - if they don't they'll simply charge you £5 for that month only.
