Bank Startup

[randomwalsh]

Hey

We are in the process of registering a company and have started to look at which bank to go with in terms of a business account.

We have boiled it down to FNB vs Standard Bank (Bizlaunch account)

What was your choice and why?

We went with FNB, but if I had the choice again I'd go with Standard. My personal account is with Std and I find their branches better than FNB. That being said, FNB's business client resolution call center is fantastic, but you'll still need to go to a branch at some stage :/

Frankly I think anyone of those will be good.

I've got two business accounts with FNB. The Ebucks program does it for me (free cash) and the Slow Lounge. Its awesome

Do you use the instant accounting / payroll solution that comes with the business account?

Also which pricing option do you use? pay as you? option 1 or option 2?

 

[Calvin22580]

Yeah, using Instant Accounting. And I'm on the pay as you use. Will be moving to the package in a month or so
