Used this app for a few years, it was always great. Now there are bugs with transfers from pots so when I pull money out of my savings it sometimes vanishes and I have no access until I message support (which really is not easy anymore!). This has got me stuck at fuel stations while trying to fill up and most recently I could not make an online purchase, could not use my card in the shop, or withdraw cash, even though my balance was plenty. Totally unacceptable with no easy access to support.

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!

Stay away from this "bank". I've been trying to contact customer service in order to close my account for over a week now. They simply ignore you. And that behaviour makes me think that wanting to close my account is the right decision, I dont wanna imagine actually having a problem with something and having to try to sort that out with a customer support that can't reply on a what's supposed to be a live chat (?), can't reply to emails and cannot even pick up a phone.
