So easy to open and use and also a continuous great interest rate on the current account Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021

Quick, easy and informed

It was so quick and easy to set up my account. The app is also easy to use and I love the little extra features such as having pots to set money aside, add notes to transactions and classify transactions into different categories. It linked to Quickbooks with ease. I get a message about upcoming transactions and payment confirmation. It's free! Brilliant. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021
