Excellent Banking app that's keeps everything at your fingertips, They keep improving their offering, the New Bills space is an excellent way to compartmentalise your outgoings to your available funds.

Very straightforward bank.

Attracted to them first by online status and their no charges approach to cash withdrawals abroad. That was a small thing but there was more on offer in every department, with ease of action for whatever I needed to do.Easy to setup and I'm been very comfortable with all my current accounts dealings from the start.Also,they are never slow in bringing forward improvements to their operation.10/10 in my opinion.
