I went to the Alliance & Leicester because it was cheaper (free) than my Barclays account, which averaged £11 per quarter. Now they are going to charge me £5 per month for the privilege. i.e. more than Barclays were!
I'm off.

I have just had a transaction fail due to the fact Alliance & Leicester's "new" business banking system can't except all 0's as an account number to pay in to, ie. Cahoot Credit Card - the money's left the account, never reached it's destination, nothing on the screen indicates it failed, no one pho ...

The Alliance & Leicester website is poor, and they are slow to respond to e-mails. they do have good telephone banking and they offer the ability to bank via your local Post Office, but I have just been advised that they are going to apply charges to our Business bank Account if we bank less than &p ...

The problems with the whole systems operation of the Alliance & Leicester bank including stationery, help desk, customer service, telephone banking and system security leaves me wondering if the people at the top have ever owned a bank account.
As a customer you do not exist. Unless you just want ...

Alliance & Leicester products seem to be good on paper, but I have now waited 5 weeks for a business bank account to be set up but still nothing. I have 6 weeks worth of invoices to send to clients but I can not put bank details on them - pathetic!
I don't think it is worth the pain to get the p ...

I changed to Alliance & Leicester because of HSBC's hike in charges and couldn't care less attitude about whether they kept my account(s)!
A&L are cheap and cheerful. I don't think this is a good account for a new business as there isn't a lot of support. However, if you are an experienced busine ...

I was attracted by the idea of free banking, but online banking isn't free with Alliance Leicester; only when I pay by cheque! I wouldn't recommend this commercial bank to anyone. After 18 months, I'm moving my account as quickly as possible to one that offers a professional service to a modern com ...

In spite of handing a completed application form into a local Alliance & Leicester office and asking staff to check that all was correct, 3 weeks later I get a note requiring a solicitors letter to confirm share allocation in the company, although this was included in my package of documents origina ...

Faxes and letters go missing, phone calls are not returned. I've been trying to close my two Alliance & Leicester accounts for over a month. I have just succeeded with one, but the other one is stuck in the system. If you want a model of incompetence, look no further than A&L Commercial Bank.

After dissatisfaction with charges with other business banks, I decided to try and open one with Alliance & Leicester.
I filled out the forms applying for an overdraft. I was just about to post the forms and someone told me they charge 21.9% APR!!
I tried to find out if they were correct. I l ...
