I have been with this "bank" for arround 7 years, all was great at the start but at the moment it feels like a scam, my account has been blocked with no explanation, the customer support feels absolutely non existent. Recently they introduced charges for local transfers etc. Stay away, I can bet on it that it's going to be some sort of exit scam in the near future. AVOID!!! Edit: I will not be emailing you just to have the same replies from a bot. Please comply witg request and delete my data!

Awfull and unhelpfully customer support. It takes them 2 weeks to send an automatic reply that doesn't solve the issue at all. If I could find a solution for my issue in faq, I wouldn't send an email in the first place. The support chat bot is useless as it doesn't even know all their services. There are also no option to chat with a real agent. I faced an issue with the app, specifically when I press the button - nothing happens. I used multiple devices to test and the result is same.

After over 2 years of being a loyal customer and paying for the privilege, I have had to change my review to suit. Started off fantastic, customer service was impeccable. Fast forward 2 years, it is now nonexistent. Missing money, slow transfers, literally IMPOSSIBLE to get hold of an actual human being to help resolve the issues that are becoming more and more commonplace. Won't be long until these go bust. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.
