Super bank !

Modern banking for the modern world. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Extremely simple and easy app

5
I love this bank. There app is so easy to use, no matter what you do. It's got some great features, like spaces to save money and automatically puts away spare change from transactions. The bank has some great features to protect people as well, such as blocking gambling transactions, ATM withdrawals and even disabling your card if you've lost it. The support from the bank itself is really good too, it's simple to contact them through the app and they always respond relatively quick or if you can't wait, you can call them too.

Amazing bank and more

5
They're already amazing, with free payments and withdrawals worldwide. Then, on top of that, they also have regular newsletters explaining different financial products, for example buy now pay later schemes, and why they can be potentially dangerous to financial health. A bank that really cares - probably the only one Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Banking of the future, finally

Seriously... How did it take this long. Wake up bankers.... This is how it should be Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Trasparent

5
Great current account and informative. Keeps one apprised of account information. As an ex banker I believe this is a step forward however face to face meetings would be the icing on the cake. Maybe a field force of qualified financial advisers.! To discuss further I have experience in the same.07703408350 Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Innovative and the way I want to bank
