Best ever

5
No hidden fees, easy access, everything in one app Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

More customer focused

5
It’s a modern way of banking that is incredibly customer focused and user friendly. Set up was very easy. I was expecting the usual nightmare that comes with setting these things up. But there was no drama at all. Delightful. The app is simple, clear and easy to use. The bank minimises use of paper so even the debit card came with very little associated documentation. This is so important in this age of climate emergency. I can use the bank via my Fitbit which is really useful. Love it. Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

Fantastic bank

Through sheer ease of use it has my vote. No nonsense banking all at the end of your fingers. Started as a budgeting bank for me but soon realised I’m switching! Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

Great idea and great service

The app is great and it's all very easy to set up. One thing that I'd like to see would be a desktop app to go with it. Using be mobile app is great and simple to use - but there's times it would be nice to access my account from a PC. Reviewed on: 25th January 2020
