Sensible with my money

Holding one of the bottom line products , I have found my account to be treated with fairness . No overdraft facility means I stay e we iron budget . This is automatically reviews as my financial situation improves . One the negative side I find , on the sop, it is pushing products that are irrelevant to me . I would appreciate a more bespoke approach to my offers. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023
