Useless app

Customer service is quite good and interest rates are quite high but the app is useless as there's no features at all except to make a transfer. Reviewed on: 19th March 2023

Good & Bad!

Great rates on their accounts and products but the functionality of both the App & Online Banking falls behind competitors sadly. One too many glitches and not as streamlined. Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

terrible

the poorest customer service i have ever experienced. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simple but good

Excellent and prompt customer service Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

My first bank in the UK

This is the first and only bank for me when I came to the UK. I rented a room as a long-term tenant and the other banks said that was not an acceptable address proof, which is ridiculous. All I need was just putting some cash into a current account. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023
