Great company to work with

Great company to work with. During the application they kept me informed of my progress at every stage. I like the way I get texts every time I use my card, allowing me the chance to check my balance.

I have ordered a credit care they send me to my previous address when i call their helpline to get it resolved and send it my new address they asked me send proof of address by post i was like are u serious? Are we living in 1960? Why cant you verify my proof of address by email i can send you my proof of address by email. They didn't accept it . This card you cant add to wallet so every time you have to carry card with you i had same company credit card for 4 years and i hardly used full limit and my affordability was good still in 4 years not one time increase in credit limit. So very outdated card and poor service utterly disappointed
