excellent serivice, full confidence in them

I have been using UAccount for over 4 years now and have found them to be very reliable. Even the time there was an issue with the previous provider that they use they were quick to resolve it and I have full confidence that the funds I have with them is very safe.

You can receive BACS payments into your U Account. Unfortunately, as a digital only service, we don't have the facility to deposit cheques. It is free to use your U Account card in shops and online, however, there are fees associated with cash machine withdrawals and Direct Debits if you are on our pay as you go plan.
