Absolutely outstanding! Dead easy to open an account not even leaving your home (all you need is a form if id and a smartphone) , also if you often travel to abroad and spend/withdraw money there, no fees whatsoever! These guys make ordinary banks look obsolete. Well done. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
