Simple No Nonsense Banking

So simple to open an account, paying in at local post office is a plus. Photo recognition is a great idea. App is easy to understand. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Simple and to use

5
I haven’t been in a bank branch for years, and not in the branch that held my account for decades, so had to use their clunky online and phone services. The opportunity to move to a dedicated online bank was too good to miss, and has turned out to be every bit as simple and easy to use as I’d hoped. Nothing fancy, it just works!
