Love how effective the bank is even when they do not have physical branches. I have never had any need to visit a branch. The app is well designed compared to other apps I have tried.

Britain's Best Bank using Britain's Best Tech

Amazing current account, great app

5
Amazing app, easy to set up saving spaces, easy to switch between current and joint account. I like the card designs too! Only gripe is that you can only add on £1000 cash onto your account for free before there is a small charge. Not a major issue for me Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Great app and account
