Not easy to speak to

I find the app quite good but trying to speak to someone is very difficult, I have been trying to open a bank account for my teenager for the past 12 months unsuccessfully. The video chat on the app doesn't work and it is 2 month wait for an appointment in branch. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

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
