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

Turkish Lira?

Everything is done efficiently for some of the countries I need but I don't see Turkish lira so won't be using until after Christmas as that's what I need at the moment.

Not convinced so far..

Applied for an account after seeing the offer of a £30 reward for using the debit card, took Zing over a week to approve my application which I can slightly appreciate as the demand will have been much higher than usual after being promoted by Martin Lewis but in this day and age should not take that long as I used UK photo ID and have a squeaky clean financial record..took another week for the physical card to arrive which wasn’t too bad..added funds to the account so that I could use the card, 3 days later and before using the account Zing block my account for ‘Further Security Checks’ stating that if I want any more information I need to read their T&Cs which actually doesn’t help at all, contacted their online chat support only to be told that I need to read the T&Cs and that they have no idea how long the ‘Further Checks’ will take other than it could be weeks…to put things in perspective I actually work for a UK High Street Bank and have done for 15 years which means I have to maintain a perfect financial profile or I risk my job so I do not see what reason they feel the need for suspension of the account is unless they are trying to prevent me from earning my £30 reward…so at this point Zing have my hard earned funds and I have no real idea how long it will be before I can have access to my money…as a responsible business they really need do all their checks before letting their customers deposit funds and then blocking access to said funds…so as of this moment my review is a little muted as I wait for them to get their act together…

Hello there. If Zing had a last name we like to think that 'easy' would be our middle name. We try to make things as easy as possible for our members so it's great when we get feedback like yours. Thanks, ZingCare.

Would definitely recommend

Would definitely recommend. It’s very easy to use as a normal debit card in this country. I haven’t tried using it abroad yet but I’m sure it will be okay. The reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is because I’m waiting for the £30 joining bonus and refer a friend bonus.

Easy start up App

From applying to receiving my card it's all been excellent. Card worked and liked the app, easy to top up. Not used it in earnest abroad hence the 4 rating.

Super easy and quick to set-up. Great app user experience and competitive exchange rates. Everything has been excellent so far! £30 is a bonus so I don’t mind waiting.

Easy but did not receive welcome £30 MSE offer!

It was very easy to sign up and I have made use of most its features already. However I did sign up via the MSE app therefore the offer was if I top up and spend £5 which I did. I would receive £30. Which I did not. That was a shame..
