A good bank but tough to get an appointment in person

Free £175

Switched from NatWest, super easy, received £175 free cash as a result. Online banking and using the app, transferring money and paying bills is super easy. Customer service is great. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Efficient and innovative

Great Bank, honest and innovative in all their approach. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

A lot of room for improvement

Constant issues with the banking app, my actual transactions and keeping track of them, as well as the overall customer service and care shown. The service itself is poor letting me down on multiple occasions and definitely not delivering the minimum expected service. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
