Was using for gambling all was going okay then I was waiting for £100 and before I got it they put my account for review and are withholding my funds, to add injury to insult rather than helping me they’re referring me to the small print in the t&c that says they can take your money no questions asked. Be aware !!

Got major issues with there system

They are a good bank if you want to use PayPal or get wages, but as soon as you try to transfer money in, they hold it,
No matter the amount, I have emailed proof of the payment and reasonings etc, but they don’t release what should be an instant transfer. It feels like they want to hold onto your money. Don’t boast on your website about instant transfers if you don’t do that,
No fca approved bank takes 2-3 working days to approve an instant transfer of £35.

If you call they answer and immediately hang up - feels like a bit of a scam

Your charges are astronomical

Your charges are astronomical.
From trying to withdraw R1250, I was only able to withdraw R1000, because of your charges.
Then to top it all off, when the money came into my account, I only received R875
Beyond ridiculous!!!!
