Very impressed indeed

Having tested Coconut banking initially, I've since been trying out a few other accounting apps (Xero, Quickbooks etc) before making a decision to commit.

I soon realised how easy (and dare I say it, 'fun') the Coconut mobile/web app was to use, whereas other apps I equated with 'accounting' and therefore 'stress'.

I've therefore returned to 🥥 for a relatively hassle-free admin/accounting experience. Very impressed indeed.

Coconut refused to pay for their mistake

Coconut failed to close my account for months which means my money was "frozen" there as they restricted my access. They even charged me transaction fee without my consent after my account "closure". Despite they promised a refund of the transaction fee which is a small amount indeed, it did NOT happened (up to this minute) like my account closure application. Their unreliable banking service has created misunderstandings and damaged relationships with my customers because my customers think I am unreasonably chasing for money. After several back and forth with their customer service team, they politely sent me apologetic emails (for me these emails are nothing more than those useless emojis on social media) but refused to pay for their mistake. When they can't deliver what they promised, do you still trust this bank*?
* According to their website, they are not even a real bank because they don't have a banking license.

Helpful and responsive customer support…

Helpful and responsive customer support through the chat function on the app (which automatically notifies you via email when there’s been a reply)

The tax vault function is also great if, like me, you’re not a great planner which means that paying tax bills can be a struggle when they comes around each year!

It’s easy to send out invoices and I no longer need to keep my receipts in a box cluttering up my flat just in case HMRC requests them.

Thank you so much Coconut!

Coconut Customer support

The online team Kayleigh, Zac, Steff, Daniel who I have presently contacted for help have been awesome with their roles. Quick reply and polite very professional. Keep up the good work.

Next step is to increase there team that can take questions on off peak hours like weekends and late evenings providing if there is a market for it.

Great bank, but no IBAN number

I find coconut to be very useful and a great tool. I love how easy it makes it to keep track of tax and expenses.
However the fact that they don’t have an IBAN number is let’s them down as it makes receiving international payments very difficult.

I've used Coconut for the past 3 years now. There's always amazing customer service and they're always trying to improve the app too. I'm a bit wary when I read trustpilot reviews but I can say this is genuine, from a small business, self employed person. Coconut has helped with my savings for tax, my SA, and I've recommended it to my younger sister who is about to go self employed too.
