Review of the Mettle, Business Banking:

Finally found the best business account

I’ve tried several business bank accounts and Mettle are by far the best. Everything is seamless but the game changer is their tie in with a Free Agent which is the best accounting software for a small limited company like mine. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Currently in Spain on vacation. Lost my phone at beach and got a new one. Tried to download app to check invoices been paid and in need recovery codes. They are on my old Phone. So I try to contact support leave afew messages don’t her back. Third time I try I hear back and they need to change my Number then give them 24 hours get back in touch and I can have my recovery codes. Abit of a pain in the arse but I will oblige. Get back in touch 24 hours later to be told that they took the phone number down wrong they have wrote it down correctly now and I need to give them another 24 hours before I have access to my account Not happy. Not professional. Not helpful When I’m back in the UK I will close this account and use the revolt Reviewed on: 4th September 2022

Limited service

1
I started a new business recently and was recommended to use Mettle. It's nothing special but it has worked okay until I needed to pay a cheque into my account. Mettle does not provide any facility for this or any help to resolve it. As the cheque is payable to my business I cannot pay into any other account. Consequently, I shall ditch Mettle in favour of a free business account (e.g. Virgin Money or Monzo) that allows cheque deposit through their app. Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Too many questions and not safe to store your money

Im a landlord trading with a ltd legal company for 8 years and they requested all the address details of my houses plus valuations and details of where the money came from. I didn’t think I was asking for a loan. Plus no fscs security so if they go bust you lose your money. Reviewed on: 18th May 2022

Modern day banking for the modern day business

5
I selected Mettle for my business bank account as I wanted the modern user experience of a challenger bank, but with better integration, support and functionality. I was impressed by how quickly and securely I was able to open my account which was done within 24hrs following mandatory checks. Most banks currently have a lead time of around a month for opening a business current account so I highly recommend Mettle, if you require a quality business account and time is of the essence. Mettle is authorised by the FCA and is owned by NatWest so you have the added reassurance that your funds are protected and ring fenced within a regulated bank. You also get access to award winning accounting software, FreeAgent, free of charge as long as you make at least one transaction per month. The in app customer services team are super helpful and are quick to respond to any queries you may have. Mettle also offer 100% fee free banking so if you’re starting up on a tight budget, like me, then you won’t have to worry about troublesome charges which can become a burden especially when starting out. With free award winning accounting software - to help you manage your own books, fee free banking and superb customer services, Mettle is the ideal banking partner for the modern business.
