Outstanding features

5
The app is full of amazing features in the palm of your hand such as paying bills directly from a savings space or specifying a particular direct debit to be taken from another one. I love that I can set up a weekly transfer of pocket money into my daughter’s kite space and that she has the app on her own device to monitor her own savings and even buy things online or outside using her own bank card.
