Welcome to the Finder Business Banking Customer Satisfaction Awards 2024.
Our awards are decided by the only votes that really matter – yours. We asked customers of 13 major business banking providers to tell us about their experiences, and now we can reveal how they rated them.
The winners
The winning and highly commended companies were decided by both their overall customer satisfaction scores (star ratings out of 5) and their recommendation scores (the percentage of survey respondents who would recommend the brand to a friend). Read more on our methodology and see our full results below.
Now without any further ado, here are our winners (*drumroll please*).

Customer satisfaction scores methodology
We asked business account holders to rate their satisfaction with the service they had received from their banking provider, and also whether they would recommend that provider to a friend. Our independent survey of 400 business banking customers was carried out in December 2023 – read full details of our methodology here.
We have crunched the numbers and shown the results for the 13 banking providers listed in the table above. We used these ratings to decide the winners of our awards (if there was a draw on the star rating, we used the “would recommend” percentage as a tie-breaker).
Business banking scores
★★★★★ — Excellent
★★★★★ — Good
★★★★★ — Average
★★★★★ — Subpar
★★★★★ — Poor
Our customer satisfaction scores (“Customers say”) are based on a survey of 400 customers carried out in December 2023.
