Business bank accounts

Dear expats!

I recently looked at opening a business bank account with ING, with whom I currently have a private account. I was surprised to see the high price tag to this sort of account, given the fact that there are not noticeable differences in terms of services. Does anyone know of business bank accounts whose price is comparable with those of personal accounts?

Thanks in advance!

Hi again.

The charges seem to be pretty standard; all you can do is phone around and ask;

This link will take you to a website that talks about the subject in general terms.

This link will take you to a website that lists a lot of the Dutch banks, with links to opening accounts.  I just tried it and had to look around the websites to find the business section.

Hope this helps.

Aaragon, if you want a business account but don't mind having it just online (i.e. no walk-in branches and no possibility to deposit money), then I can recommend Knab. It costs me a flat rate of just €5 per month. I've been banking with them for almost 4 years now. So much cheaper than the Rabobank where I was charged for everything, and works better than ING's online banking with all its outages.
