Independent service quality survey results

Business current accounts

As part of a regulatory requirement, an independent survey was conducted to ask approximately 1200 customers of each of the 14 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.

*SMEs include businesses, clubs, charities and societies with an annual turnover/income of up to £25m (exclusive of VAT and other turnover-related taxes).

Read our detailed business current account service quality survey results.

The requirement to publish the Financial Conduct Authority Service Quality Information for business current accounts can be found on our business current account service quality information page.
