Innovative approach to Banking

Easy to set up. Seamless transmission to Starling. Nothing complicated so far. Fine philosophy for a bank without pages and pages of small print. The app is a sheer delight to use with transfers made in a timely fashion. Looking forward to being with this bank for a long time. The development of this bank must have been well thought out as it ticks all the boxes so far. Reviewed on: 20th April 2024
