Bank of Ireland UK lifts awards triple

Following Moneyfacts annual assessment of the business current account market across the UK, Bank of Ireland UK won 5 star ratings for its agri, small business groeth and small business start up accounts - the only local bank to achieve three awards from the organisation.

“As Northern Ireland’s enterprise bank, we work hard to ensure we have the products, the expertise and the services to support ambitious business owners,” said Gavin Kennedy, head of business banking NI.

“We created these tailor made accounts with their discounted fees and other real tangible benefits to encourage more start-ups and to help growth businesses thrive.

Moneyfacts editor Lee Tillcock said: “The cost of a current account is a major consideration and the Small Business Growth account offers the discounts and added value that business customers are seeking.

“By providing real support as businesses continue to grow, this rating gives customers confidence and the peace of mind that the account will grow with the business.”
