Great app, easy sign up, fantastic travel benefits. Attractive rate of interest on current account and far superior to the 'traditional' banks. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Best bank account yet

5
Simple app and easy to use. First class customer service. Loving the new features, such as goals / savings. 10/10 would recommend Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Amazing

5
Setup was so much easier than I’ve ever experienced. The app itself is not only stunning but incredibly useful and informative, giving me insight into my spending habits in very visual ways, and very easy ways to split my savings into neat categories. Also, the sheer speed of sending and receiving money is so imminent now. My previous bank had major delays and primitive depositing processing. They also have a freeze card feature which allows you to freeze and unfreeze your card at the press of a button, which is such a peace of mind if you’re ever concerned. They also give you immediate spending alerts/notifications with information on how much you spent and where, as well as incoming payments, so you always feel in control of your account. The card itself is also stunning, and came in a gorgeous embossed card. This company understands what people want and need, and are meticulous with their app and branding design. I cannot fault them one bit. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Great overall product

4
Great overall product, much better than most high street banks' main current account. Never had an issue with it both in the UK and abroad. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Modern banking

5
Great to use for cash abroad. Customer service is instant and helpful. The process for sending up the account is modern and generally how banking should be! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Simple yet advanced

5
Way ahead of the traditional high Street banks when it comes to a current account in your pocket. Originally joined for good holiday rate but soon found it did so much more. Recommended to 5 others since and they all think the same as me. This is how banking should be! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Really easy to use. No fuss.
