They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Straightforward, easy, flexible

Everything you need in the app, uncluttered and simple with attention to detail, like multiple accounts per contact in saved payees. Contacted support when needing to transfer house deposit and they raised my FPS limit for the day, no charge! Reviewed on: 2nd February 2019

Perfect banking experience

What's not to love? Sleek app that makes everything very easy, interest on your account, and zero fees for anything. I've been traveling around the world with this card and it always works, free to take out cash and pay anywhere (often with an exchange rate better than what you see online) Reviewed on: 2nd February 2019

No nonsense affordable banking
