Which business banks work best for UK spirits companies, and what are the key features members recommend?
For spirits businesses, several banks stand out with different strengths:
- **Mettle** — owned by NatWest, includes a free FreeAgent account, but does NOT work with spirits companies, so not suitable for this sector. - **Starling** — highly praised for overall service, app and platform quality. Offers a Euro account for £2/month, making it a strong option for multi-currency needs. - **Revolut** — recommended for multi-currency support and has been reliable for members' small business accounts. Some past concerns around security have reportedly been addressed and are now on par with competitors. - **Wise** — consistently recommended for multi-currency needs and business accounts. Offers FSCS protection (which Revolut does not), making it a safer choice for regulatory peace of mind.
Members suggest Wise or Starling as the safest bets if you're handling spirits and need multi-currency capability.
