Efficient uncomplicated and very, very neat

5
The simplicity of the account is refreshing, the use abroad is incredible the exchange rates are exceptional no need to take CASH. As a more mature person I found it easy to adapt to online banking this way and I will be migrating more business in the new year, now that I am happy with my test drive.

The account was really easy to set up and gives me total control over my spending. I can see where my money has gone (by category) and put money aside into pots for specific events, holidays, tax, etc. For the first time ever I actually enjoy managing my money. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

None Better for Phone Only Banking

Exclusively for smartphone use , the app is just what I wanted. It pays monthly interest, gives me a breakdown of spending and allows me to set money aside for specific projects. Lots of other features too. Help is always available, but I've never had to use it so far. A1 Reviewed on: 20th January 2020
