The best and worst British banks

The best and worst British banks

Personal and small business current account holders were asked how likely they would be to recommend their provider to a friend, relative or other business. The survey also covered the quality of online and mobile provision, branch and overdraft services and, for small businesses, the quality of the relationship management they receive.

The results show customers how their bank is ranked on quality of service and make it easier for people to compare offers. They also promote provider competition, resulting in better experiences for all account holders. Customers who find another bank offering a better deal can use the Current Account Switch Service to help simplify the switching process. This free service is available to anyone in the UK with a personal or business current account.

Results are for the period July 2022 to June 2023.
