Easy to set up and easy to use!

This was by far the easiest account I have ever set up! It’s easy to use and gives notifications as soon as you spend. I can’t recommend this bank enough. It may not have the same offerings as the bigger banks but for once it has the right idea - keep it simple. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020
