Great platform for discovering under-the-radar opportunities

Crowdcube has improved noticeably in recent years. The UI feels much cleaner and more intuitive, and the overall investment flow has become far more streamlined and easy to navigate.
Four crowdfunded investments so far and I am very happy with the site.
The platform makes it simple to discover interesting under-the-radar opportunities and invest without unnecessary friction. Overall, a very user-friendly experience that has clearly evolved in the right direction.

Concerns with payment process

I would have given 4 or 5 stars as the process of investing was very easy and there's a wide range of investment portfolios to chose from. However, I made a one-off investment payment but when I checked my bank statement, it's showing as a recurring payment which my bank confirmed was processed as a subscription that I never signed up for. I have reported it to Crowdcube who were very prompt at replying and reassured me that my payment isn't for a subscription and that they will look into it. I haven't received a reply to confirm why my payment was processed as a recurring payment but the experience hasn't left me feeling confident to want to continue using Crowdcube as an investment tool. Apart from that, my overall experience was very good so the payment issue is disappointing.

Additional payment options

I would very much welcome the possibility to do a wiretransfer. As paying by credit car larger sums of money always is painful, as bank restricts bigger sums and you have to beg to be able to do larger sums and this comes with delays.

Especially when the raise of money can come with limited slots and a timely pressure to be amongst the lucky few, you need to offer the possibility of doing instant bank transfers.
