Data collected on April 8 this year has also revealed that 82% of all business savings notice accounts are paying 1% or less on savings.
Only 9.3% of 100-day or less business savings notice accounts are paying more than 1% on balances of £10,000.
Gary Wilkinson, CEO and Co-Founder of Redwood Bank, said:
We've discovered there's a huge disparity in interest rates currently being paid on different business savings accounts. We know there's a lot of financial uncertainty at the moment, but there are still businesses out there looking to save. However, having looked at the current market, it seems they have been largely forgotten about and are being side-lined.
"It’s vital in these challenging times that we look after the struggling businesses and help them to protect their staff and services, but we must also ensure the thriving companies – and there are plenty of them out there – are rewarded and not overlooked."
Redwood Bank remains committed to business savers, which is why it is offering 1.55% Gross AER for its 95 Day Business Savings account, the highest rate of any business notice savings account with a notice period of under 100 days.
