Very easy to setup and use

Very easy to setup and use. Fast payments which is important for a small business.
I also like the fact that the account automatically categorises expenses so it’s easy to see what you’re spending.

Check your receivable balance daily

Check your receivable balance daily , don’t take any cash advances as they often take much more than legally agreed . When sum up make mistakes or wrongly take your money it’s frustrating and not likely you can explain to the uninterested staff that you are owed money. Expect to ‘speak’ to many many non numerate chat agents who cut you off when they can’t be bothered helping to resolve serious disputes .
