Business Account

I have a business account which has a cash deposit fee (80p per £100 deposited). Is there anything stopping me cashing this in my personal account and transferring this online to the business account.

Thanks
Just have a little faith

    Normally T&C prohibit using personal accounts for business purposes.
    Regular cash deposits to a persona account are very likely to draw attention.

    If you don't mind getting the personal account frozen and closed eventually.

    They usually "pull you up on it" by closing your account, they do not often send a nice letter asking you to stop.

    If you are a sole trader its simply an issue of your account being closed. If you are a Ltd then the issues are more complex as you are banking someone elses money into your account
