I always use John Lewis for foreign currency as it arrives the next day at my local Waitrose if I order before 2pm. Good exchange rates too. Only reason I’ve given 4 stars is their website said they... See more

Good security to stop a scam

I’ve just opened my own account for a New Day credit card, pretty easy to get started.

The reason I have a 5 star is I had a credit card on my wife’s account I had this for a few years without any issues. Recently I was scammed but New Day were onto the fraud before we knew it had happened, they blocked a fraudulent payment and helped us sort out the problem.
