Learning to love the banks

Article Abstract:

A survey has shown that the number of businesses pleased with the service they receive from their bank has increased from 53% in 1995 to 77%. They think the bank understands their needs and will lend more money if necessary. National Westminster Bank has about 25.5% of the small business accounts but has said that it will be more conservative about lending in the future. Most small businesses use only one bank but 20% are thinking of using more than one to encourage competition and better service. European banks are becoming interested in capturing a share of the corporate market.
