Fantastic bank, easy to use, very polite extremely helpful staff and so handy to be able to see my banking, accounts at my fingertips. Making payments and receiving payments is so easy (just need to remember to get paid in my first name and not my middle name as I'm known by). Made banking sooo much easier love it.

Amazing service

Same level of customer service as my account with my local building society. Setting up the account was really straight forward. Really easy to pay in money. Amazing rates when I’m abroad on card transactions. Works seamlessly when I’m in Europe and the Euro account is a nice touch. The app is really well developed and has loads of useful features without being excessive. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
