Has anyone joined? I'm interested as they offer free business banking. I bank with Alliance Leicester and its being taken over by santander who are just rubbish,and i'm set to lose free banking.

Im in the FSB.

I use Alliance and Leicester.

The main reason I joined was if I were to have a tax investigation their free legal team would come in handy Im sure.

Alliance and Leicester as of 15th of September have been completely taken over by the santander group. The new Charges are out of line with what i was sold when i opened the business account. I popped into my local branch to sort out a few things didn't get anywhere. Santander said refer back to Alliance and Leicester? Alliance and Leicester said go to santander........crap. All i want to know is in the new booklet set out are new charges to which state the santander group have the right to change the charges at any time. I'm getting bank charges and i dont know what for? Time to move i think. 100% free banking for fsb members with the co op ?
