Give up traditional banks

I have been an account holder at most major banks for the last 30 yrs. All fine until a few yrs ago when their attitude went downhill collectively. I have always been in credit but did not feel valued. Countingup was very easy to join and the use if the account us very simple. The information provided in use us exceptional.

Someone has registered MY home address as their business address, with your company.
I’ve checked this with Companies House. How the hell has this happened??

Date of experience: August 06, 2024

Reply from Countingup

Hi Paul

Thank you for your feedback.

We utilise publicly available information from the Companies House register to send out marketing letters. *Please note that we do not retain any personal information in our systems unless an application is submitted.*

From your reports, it seems like your address is being targeted for setting up 'fake' businesses at Companies House. If you haven't already, we recommend contacting Companies House to request appropriate action to prevent further registration at your address.

I have requested further information from you in order to investigate further.

I have shared your feedback with our marketing team and inquired about the possibility of blocking your address but as we don't store any personal information within our system for any non-applications or current customers, it makes it harder for us to proactively prevent our letters.

Please rest assured that we will do what we can to remove your address from future mailing where possible once we receive the information from you. If you do receive any further mailing for any new businesses, please let us know providing the company's name as displayed on the letter.

Thank you for your understanding

So I’ve been using counting up for quite awhile now, recently they have decided to block my account and asked me various questions regarding the business, I’ve explained everything to my best knowledge with proof to back everything. They’ve decided to close my account down. I had money in my account, they said it can take 45 days for a refund, where in the world is this legal. Please be aware of this guys, If counting up refund my money ASAP, I’ll change my star rating, as this is ridiculous.

Hi Louise,

Thank you for your feedback. We know that you are already discussing this matter privately with our team. We want to assure you that our actions have been in compliance with the regulatory requirements for financial institutions in the UK.

As a financial institution, Countingup may need to take measures such as better understanding, suspending, and/or closing accounts as part of our legal and regulatory obligations.

It's important to note that all financial institutions have the authority to impose suspensions or closures at any time. These actions are not specific to Countingup alone.

This means that regardless of where you choose to bank in the UK, similar actions could occur. Banks and financial institutions are sometimes required by law to take action without informing account holders.

These actions are outlined in the Terms & Conditions that you agreed to when opening your account with us and have been detailed in our communications since then.

We will not publicly comment on specific reasons or actions we may or may not have taken due to the complex legal and regulatory obligations we hold. However, we will provide as much information as we can privately.

We will keep in touch with you privately and help in any way we can, following our legal and regulatory responsibilities. As part of our commitment to integrity, we will ensure that we act fairly and consistently.

Terrible response time following fraud…

Terrible response time following fraud / scam transactions on my account - it took around 12 hours allowing time for fraudsters to transfer funds. CountingUp do not sign up to the scheme which refunds victims of financial fraud, and after 12 weeks their legal department have not responded to my solicitor. Bad experience and customer service when things go wrong - avoid!

Hi Simon,

Thank you for your review.

While we cannot publicly comment on specific fraud or scam cases, we can confirm that your review is incorrect based on the information provided.

Without providing any specifics on your case, we can confirm a response was issued on 23/05/24. We recommend you speak with your legal representation to understand why they have not updated you.

Perfect thanks 😊 🙏

Honestly just wanted a new account number and sort code

Even better I can deposit cash at paypoint or post office

5* the card arrived really quickly and activated and ready to go

Can't wait to do some business and get the ball rolling. Perfect for opportunistic starting point, eg you want a bank account but getting files sent for a proper bank is lengthy this place is a doddle. Proof of address is all I needed no identity but they check the files online and when it comes back legit they give you the card right away. Thank you for the opportunity to get started with my business idea 💡 🙏 😊

Re-assuring security protocols

Catherine advised me promptly of exactly what was required to be able to access my account on my new phone and within minutes access was available. I appreciate the number of questions asked to ensure that I was the genuine account holder and this provided me with re-assurance that my account is secure.
