NO HELP WHEN REALLY NEEDED

Not great, asking for help at a very stressful time with no joy from your bank. after speaking with 14 different finance companies, got help from 90% of them. And my own bank said no to any assistance. After putting millions through the account. Will be thinking a out changing my bank when we get going again. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Easy to use on line app. You know when money is coming in and out so there is no surprises. The offset packet saving pockets is easy to use and a great idea. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
