Easy to use, fantastic customer service, definition of innovation Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Everything is so easy and convenient

5
Setting up a current account as a new customer was easy, using the app is so easy, finding all the functions is so easy and the bit I like the most is the saving spaces. I no longer need to record each part of my savings account or have multiple accounts. Very smart and easy!!! I also like the security...like when I get notified of all payments and when I need to authorise payments. So much better use of technology than mainstream banks. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great service, easy to use app.

5
I have been using this bank account for a number of years now. I think that the app is very easy to use and provides the information you need readily. I particularly appreciate the way that you are informed immediately a payment is made into or out of the account and for payments going out by DD you get a couple of days notice that it will be taken soon. Unfortunately this year I have been unable to make use of the great exchange rates on overseas use of the card, but hopefully this will change soon! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
