Review summary

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. However, opinions regarding the service, payment processes, and staff interactions appear to be mixed, with a lack of consensus among reviewers. Some consumers express satisfaction with the speed of onboarding, modern features, and competitive fees, particularly highlighting the cashback system and tap-on-device functionality. A few reviewers also appreciated the support they received from specific members of the team, who were commended for their professionalism and efficiency. On the other hand, several consumers have reported negative experiences, especially concerning the difficulty of contacting the company and the quality of customer service. Some reviewers have described issues such as accounts being closed without explanation, unexpected fees, and problems with fund transfers. The inability to resolve issues through available channels and the lack of personal contact were also points of concern for a number of people.

I have started a small business

I have started a small business, and I was looking for low commissions on business accounts and POS, so I found myself with a debt of 172 euros on my account in the first two months for a plan that I have no idea how it happened, since I used to pay 4.99€ for my account per month… of course I paid it and I am leaving them… also something very important you talk via chat, and unfortunately to find solutions to your problem it takes 2-4 days! as well as hours… unfortunately but they are unacceptable!
