Business bank account

I thought i would ask for a recommendation for a new business bank account as i am sure there are a few business owners and accountants on here.

I have a business bank account with HSBC which i really don't like, mainly because i don't get on with their rather dated online banking. However after speaking with them and being told its a 3+ week wait for an appointment to make a small account change Ive decided its time to start looking for alternatives.

Has anyone got a recommendation for a bank that's good for foreign payments whose online banking doesn't work like it was made in the 90's?

Yorkshire Bank or Handelsbanken are both pretty good.

Cater Allen private banking is quite good in my experience.

Have you actually used this? Quite pleased with Monzo and this looks to be the business alternative...

I can recommend Barclays. It's great for making foreign payments online.

I have not personally but I know a couple that do and also read a few reviews on it - it does seem very Monzo-esqe - I am also a Monzo user (investor) just waiting for them to change my account to a proper bank account.
