Super hiper

Poleciła mi siostra, nie myliła się,jest super Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Very quick and efficient customer service

Very good banking app. Easy to make transactions. Very quick to get through to a member of staff when you need help. The only issue is that accountability. I mean if there’s an issue where you’ve been scammed for your money or something. There’s no one that really help you with things like that. Also for current account you can only deposit about 1500 cash per year which I feel is too little. Other than that a really safe and secure bank Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
