Review of the Countingup, Business Account:

Best bank transfer

It take just a secounds to transfer Reviewed on: 19th March 2023

I have been paid for my first month work and transferred fund to my own current bank they suspended the payment and asked me questions that no bank ever asked taking 24 hours to repond emails and chat every time they asking something else and takes another day! What an embarrassment and shame if I didn’t get letter from post would have never opened with them absolutely joke account on hold still and can’t transfer my money . Reviewed on: 1st October 2024

Reply from Countingup Hi Azem, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We know it’s far from ideal when things like this happen. The suspension you’ve mentioned is usually due to internal processes that we have in place to comply with regulatory requirements. While these checks may sometimes seem abrupt, they’re needed to keep all our customers safe. Delays or interruptions with payments can be frustrating but we’re here to help and make sure this is resolved quickly. Please contact us by messaging us in-app or by emailing [email protected] so we can take a closer look at your case and pass it on to the appropriate team. Speak soon.

I strongly advise against using Countingup for your business banking needs. While I understand that financial institutions have legal and regulatory obligations, the manner in which Countingup has handled my situation is unacceptable and falls short of the standards expected from a reputable financial service provider. In traditional business banking, clients are assigned a dedicated relationship manager who works closely with them to address any concerns or issues that may arise. This personalised approach ensures that problems are resolved efficiently and professionally, minimising the risk of abrupt account suspensions or closures. Countingup's actions demonstrate a clear lack of such a customer-centric approach. The tone of their emails is cold, robotic, and devoid of empathy, which is highly inappropriate and detrimental to maintaining a healthy relationship with clients. Instead of fostering trust and understanding, their communication style only serves to alienate and frustrate customers who have entrusted them with their financial matters. Moreover, Countingup's demand for personal bank statements and emails from clients and suppliers is a serious breach of privacy and raises concerns about the security of sensitive data. The extent of data requested is not proportionate to the situation at hand, and clients have the right to know exactly how their personal information will be handled, stored, and protected. The uncertainty surrounding the extent to which these statements and emails will be used and shared is deeply troubling and erodes the confidence that clients place in this institution. Furthermore, suspending accounts without prior investigation is an accusatory act that presumes guilt without due process. Requesting emails from clients and suppliers without their explicit consent is also a violation of their privacy rights. These third parties may not want their details shared with Countingup, and it is unethical to pressurise clients into disclosing such information without proper authorisation from all parties involved. To make matters worse, Countingup's insistence on conducting these sensitive exchanges over unsecured email channels demonstrates a blatant disregard for data security. Requesting personal bank statements and emails containing confidential information to be sent via unencrypted email is an unacceptable practise that leaves clients and their associates vulnerable to potential data breaches and unauthorised access. In light of these issues, I strongly believe that Countingup's practises are unacceptable and fall far short of the standards set by traditional business banking institutions. Their actions have severely damaged the relationship between the bank and its clients, and it is imperative that they re-evaluate their approach to customer service, data security, and communication methods. I urge potential clients to carefully consider the risks associated with entrusting their financial matters to Countingup. Instead, seek out alternative banking solutions that prioritise your needs, respect the privacy of all stakeholders, and maintain the highest standards of data security. Reviewed on: 21st June 2024

Reply from Countingup Hi Salomon, Thank you for your feedback. We want to assure you that our actions have been in compliance with the regulatory requirements for financial institutions in the UK. As a financial institution, Countingup may need to take measures such as better understanding, suspending, and/or closing accounts as part of our legal and regulatory obligations. It's important to note that all financial institutions have the authority to impose suspensions or closures at any time. These actions are not specific to Countingup alone. This means that regardless of where you choose to bank in the UK, similar actions could occur. Banks and financial institutions are sometimes required by law to take action without informing account holders. These actions are outlined in the Terms & Conditions that you agreed to when opening your account with us and have been detailed in our communications since then. We will not publicly comment on specific reasons or actions we may or may not have taken due to the complex legal and regulatory obligations we hold. However, we will provide as much information as we can privately. We will keep in touch with you privately and help in any way we can, following our legal and regulatory responsibilities. As part of our commitment to integrity, we will ensure that we act fairly and consistently. Response date: 17th September 2024
