Verification process is a hassle so didnt get to use it at all. Their microphones did not work when there was an option to speak with someone as well. The person i was speaking with was good though. my account better be closed as well. All in all going to other options I've been hearing about in the comments. Hope this helps!

The App suddenly stopped allowing me to log in to my account. When I input my passcode, it just says 'something went wrong, please try again'. I tried uninstalling the app, re-linking my device but still have the same issue. I have sent multiple emails to support without any response. The phone number on the card just gives you a robot and no actual person to assist. It has now been 2 weeks , and i have been unable to access my account. Absolutely apauling customer service!

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!!!
