Simple yet effective and secure

Since having the account I have had very little problems, Any problems I have had has been sorted without delay. The account is very secure and if a transaction looks suspicious it is stopped until confirmed as genuine by the customer (me). Very useful with the app as well as you can change all different types of features with the card stop certain payments from going out or temporarily cancel your card if you have lost it.

Worst Bank ever

1
I was a 9years customer to this Bank in United Kingdom. I never get any single offers Such as No overdraft and No loan. Even I had good credit score. They don’t bother to check about the offers. Each time they was told me to come back. Last 3 years again and again I went and ask about it. They are irresponsible and helpless staff. I went today and ask about my loan because of my financial difficulties if I cannot I’m going to switch. They don’t have any problems and said that’s up to you. It was unbelievable. They never allow me to talk with the manager even. Worst bank ever in my life. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

By far the best bank out there
