Simplicity in itself

In less than five minutes I had opened my new bank account online and used it to purchase something and transfer some funds to someone else. So that was all in 5 minutes. To open any other bank account would usually take about 5 days or even more. Andy Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Banking only better

Love the simplicity and it brings banking bang up to date. The only time I’ve had to phone for support, the issue was resolved expediently and professionally. Particularly enjoy goals as a means of managing money from a phone app. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
