Business banking for those with poor credit

A question about : Business banking for those with poor credit

Hi Guys, long story but cut short, I have a bad credit rating so can't open a business bank account. i don't want any credit facilities, no cheque book or card - just a deposit and withdrawal facility to pay cheques into really.

Phoned the major banks and can't get any help. This seems crazy as i am making money from online business and money going into paypal but i don't want it going into personal bank account.

Any ideas. Turnover for year from self emp expected to be iro Ј20,000

Opening a new Current Account to Use as a Donor Account

A question about : Opening a new Current Account to Use as a Donor Account

Hiya,

Apologies if this is been asked before.

I am planning to apply for a Halifax Rewards account and would like to get the Ј100 switch bonus. However, I'd like to keep all my existing current accounts for various reasons.

Is it a good idea to open a new current account with one of my existing banks and then use it as a donor account for the switch to Halifax?

Has anyone done this?

A question about : £10 free from Egg

/ Insert From Martin: The following is the original post (which I've updated as it's now £10. Below it I've added notes on 'how to grab the £10 with the minimum hassle'. A previous offer gave £15 so the first couple of pages of replies relate to that offer but it's worth reading through the questions and answers as they're often asked.
