I'm on the committee of my allotment society. At the last meeting our treasurer said the bank with whom we have an account is going to charge us transaction fees as well as the £5 monthly fee recently imposed. Additionally, we have been trying to set up online banking to make life easier than using cheques for payments but the bank won't accommodate a system with 2 signatories/approvers which we have in our constitution to protect the society.
Is there anyone on here who could recommend a bank or building society that is friendlier towards small societies like allotments? One that ideally doesn't charge transaction or monthly fees, and in a perfect world, would allow online banking with more than one signatory. I've read that banks don't really want societies as customers any longer so are making it unappealing to bank with them.
Appreciate any suggestions or experiences you've had
Thanks
Sue
