Tandem takes the hassle out of saving with their round-up feature, which rounds up to the nearest pound any money you spend using linked accounts and credit cards. It then subtracts that amount from your bank account each week and keeps it safe, allowing you to save small amounts for a rainy day.

I've been with tandem for two years I think now and they're my main of 3 credit cards.
The app is easy to use with a response by an operator usually within minutes during opening hours. Easy to pay the balance with direct bank transfers, something none of my other cards use, which means the balance is paid instantly, no waiting for 1-2 working days.
They've helped me throughout a time where I was involved in an accident and couldn't afford to pay my bills whilst on statutory sick pay, didn't penalise or constantly call or write asking why I couldn't pay, took a quick message on the app to update them and they couldn't of helped more.
To recently when I made a transaction which turns out to be a fraudulent one, they explained the whole process when I realised and reclaimed my money for me.
One thing I've learnt from them is of youre after a company that actually cares about its customers, isn't pushy with sales, and has staff that listen and don't just write automated responses then pick tandem. For me it's a no brainer.

People use it as a dating app

I've had lots of guys pretend to be interested in learning the language but after a while it turns out that they are interested in me, not the language.

I recently installed Tandem. A very easy app to navigate. When I switched on the round ups function, managing my autosavings: linked to my debit card - I was pleasantly surprised with my first two purchases in my local supermarket, both with high percentage of savings. Which were swiftly added to my bank account. Very impressed.

Zero care for customers

Introducing monthly fee with high pressure sales tactics ("you have until x date, if not your account is closed and you can't apply again"). Product used to be good, now is surpassed by other FREE alternatives

Heading to the end of the road

Sadly Tandem is heading for the banking exit, charging for use of the credit card simply won’t work and is not value for money.

Crazy treatment of existing customers

Look after your customers and they look after you. Introduce a monthly f***you fee and watch loyal customers leave and spread the word.

Was a great card - no brainer

Superb to use for all spending with 0.5% cashback. Unfortunately now £5.99 per month to get that benefit.

Great cashback and no fees abroad

You are rewarded for using the card even abroad and you don't have to pay transaction fees for purchases abroad!

I would have highly recommended the cashback credit cards for the fee free spending worldwide and the 0.5% cashback on spending (and did to many friends who signed up) but since the introduction of £5.99 monthly fee, I wouldn't bother. It would only be useful for a very small number of people. They don't value their customers, if you don't sign up to the new fee, your credit card will be cancelled rather than having the option to move to a fee free product. Other disadvantages include low credit limits, poor app, now Apple pay, no joint card holders. There are better credit card products out there now.

The cashback card is a great product and useful app with the instant notifications, however it will not be around much longer as Tandem patronisingly announced their 'exciting news' for a £6 a month fee from March with few added bonuses that are available for free elsewhere. I will be leaving the bank.
