Transfer from my employer withheld although it was going fine during last year and no problems appearing at all. I have provided full information including my labour contract, my social security reports and declaration of my personal data. Although I was informed that money to be released, but it is not happening. No replies via app and emails: repeated requests several times with no luck.

I forgot it installed after I closed my account due to terrible service quality. Just found out it used my camera and microphone randomly and has insane permissions activated by default. This is an absurd! Take care folks. They are spying on you.

Easy to use electronic banking. Get paid for inviting friends... But help by phone and email is not existent, because no one is answering... There is nobody to get in touch, even though I pay a monthly subscription. I don't need that much help, but when I cannot withdraw money from an ATM, I would like to enquire why? I would like a person to answer the phone call or an email.
