Not an alternative bank

They charge you £3 to close your acc.£0.50 to withdraw money .Transferring money is £5. And then charges even for purchases from your card. After all this they claim they're saving people money. Ridiculous. Reviewed on: 11th March 2016

Fail .

Their KYC process is bad . They will suspend your account if you get your salary in. Not a real bank as they advertise. No protection for your money. No direct debits. No standing orders. No faster payments.. Reviewed on: 11th March 2016
