Don't use this company, they scam you. get charged to transfer money into the account, which it states "no charge" now I have money in my account I want to transfer out as I'm not happy with the service and get an error message saying "no enough funds to transfer" even though the minimum amount I can transfer is £1. now I have money stuck in the dumb account I can't access

absolutely disgusted blocked my card wont let me access my own money, said 8 days been 3 weeks i will never recommend this useless banking application, have money still in there for a cooker i needed to get, sent all documents they asked for and still can't get my own money, I want to close this account but want what is rightfully mine, an absolute joke of a company and would never recommend anyone to use it, they steal your money as this is exactly what they have done, stolen my money
