SIMPLE & EASY PROCESS …

When I first tried to get onto the website & tried to buy my required shares it kept coming up saying an error had occurred & I must admit made me quite anxious I was doing the right thing. So I left it for about 20/30 minutes & came back to it , i clicked the link went straight to the site put my required amount of money & shares in & to my surprise went through straight away without any problems so I can only assume when I first signed in it was due to the amount of people trying to do the same thing all at once ! The process was quick , simple & straight forward & im looking forward to watching the journey of my new investment take flight & hopefully do exceedingly well . Thankyou

Do not use if you don't want your information to be stored correctly

I requested some information but I was asked to provide photo ID which I don't have even government bodies give you the option to provide other information to prove who you are but they know better. I asked for proof by original contract that I agreed to this and ask them what legal requirements they were to provide a photo ID. I checked with the information commissioners office but they don't fall into the category and wear photo ID is necessary and obviously it's a policy only. It couldn't be bothered to reply to my requests what a waste of time and that's being polite.

Hi David,

Thank you for your feedback.

We understand that providing identification can feel inconvenient. However, we would like to clarify that we request photo ID in specific situations where a user contacts us asking to update their email address or recover access to their account. In these cases, identity verification is part of our security process and helps ensure that we are speaking with the rightful account holder; it is a safeguard intended to protect your information.

This step is taken to comply with data protection responsibilities and to make sure personal information is handled securely and appropriately. It is designed to protect users and prevent unauthorised access to their accounts.

We’re sorry to hear that you felt your request was not fully addressed. Please, feel free to get in contact if you need further assistance, we will be happy to help.

Best wishes,
The Crowdcube team.

I love the simplicity of investing…

I love the simplicity of investing through Crowdcube. Having had such a positive experience with my first Crowdcube investment, I have continued to use them when looking at long term investments. The process is very easy and intuitive, the platform is navigated easily and the opportunities available have been well researched by Crowdcube before the offer goes live.

It is a scam - you lose all your money - never to see again

How this company still continues operate and willingly take peoples' money is beyond me. It may not be a scam but is as good as one. Please be warned, you will lose your money - if you want to support a company, think of your investment as a donation, because you won't be seeing any returns. The fact that Crowdcube says they do thorough due diligence on these companies and their pitches is laughable - just made up forecasts and valuations to part everyday investors from their money.
