The most transparent of the currency exchange services. 0.2% currency conversion fee. Nothing else. Whether you make a single or multiple transactions you get the same deal. Great exchange rates too.... See more

Pretty good apart from

I singed up, with a referral, I must say the application process was quite easy, quick and straightforward. Although I’ve completed all my steps for the referral bonus £30- I’m still awaiting this referral bonus to be added 2/3weeks laters. No issues with my account perfect card too.

Hi there. We've been working to pay referral bonuses quicker as we agree 30 days is a little long. Although we normally pay all referrals within 30 days we are currently trying to get all our members paid prior to the festive period. Thanks, ZingCare.

Don’t open an account with them you can be stranded at anytime, because you account can be blocked at anytime and no proper communication on when your account will be reopened, I am still battling that with them. No heads up, No communication

Horrible app. Deceive people with rewards and give them nothing only to freeze the account. This isn’t a bank. This is a scam.

I was introduced to Zing by a friend who sent me a referral code. According to him, I'll get a £30 reward once I download the app and make a purchase of £5 or above. I downloaded the app and I made an online purchase before the deadline which was 3rd December since my visible card was to arrive on the 5th of December and my phone doesn't accept the Google visual card reason I made and online transaction of £11.00 but uptil this moment, I haven't received any referral bonus of the £30 and I'm not happy about it.

Great app to buy currency

Great app to buy currency when the exchange rate is favourable. I use euros and dollars but there are many to choose from. Fees are very low

Zing application in app

Website was easy to use to apply for zing card. Due to demand of offer extra checks were carried out in the app. However I had regular update emails from zing saying not to worry about the delay. Good customer service from zing.
