I started a FIRE.com business account… I started a FIRE.com business account two years ago to use when invoicing clients in the UK and Europe. The performance and service have been excellent. Firstly it's a real bank account (two actually - EUR and GBP). I get my own IBANs just like any other bank. Secondly incoming and outgoing transfers are rapid. Incoming UK BACS credits the same day if received by 1530 GMT and incoming EURO SEPA by 1630. Finally the APP is slick and reliable and the security is strong, I get notifications in real time on all spending. Customer Service is good as well, far superior to a high street bank. The only quibble is some exotic payment methods will bounce back - like WIREs, but you just have to educate clients on that. First class product.

Simple and efficient The process took a while to complete due to the structure of our company, this being said the customer experience is very good. Every question is always answered within approx 24h and when there is an issue with the site a correction is uploaded the same day and all works great. Good and reliable company.

Avoid wasting your time Avoid wasting your time. Took them 1 month to review our application and ask us thousands documents. Although we said our website is not ready , forcing me to have at least one landing page and at the end of the day , they said due to risk of your business we are not able to offer you an account. We are distributors of well branded UK suppliers and work with our suppliers more than 7 years. Why on the earth buying from suppliers and distribution could have the risk . We didn't ask for any kind of credit or loan or over draft . It's just a simple business bank account. By reading other bussiness reviews am glad that we didn't used your bank as it seems to me you are a total scam .

Don't use this bank avoid at all costs !! you mind think this is a good bank, but they are blocking your money for no reason. They asked me to explain a transaction I have received from a client (business account), I immediatly reply. Since my reply, nothing. They don't answer, they don't unblock anything.

There is no end of this charade There is no end of this charade. First FIRE claimed that it has been complaints from another bank, but refused to tell us more. Then they told that a client had done a recall regarding a payment. That was untrue, the client did know nothing about this. Now suddenly the claim that the account is frozen because" the authority of the courts" has demanded that. Lie, after lie, after Lie.
