Kroo will be increasing their current account interest rate to 3.33% from 1st April, according to the becleverwithyourcash newsletter today, also reported by Daily Express.

(Kroo hasn’t managed to resolve their growing pains, judging by their twitter replies. People seem to be waiting weeks for account opening and in-app support responses, and their tendency to potentially hold incoming payments probably persists.)

Been trying to close my Kroo account since Feb 2. They are incapable of doing that. They put a block on outgoing payments and my card but they won’t pay me my outstanding interest. Their CS is hopeless.

Opened Kroo account in less than an hour the day after they announced their 3% current account. Card arrived 2 days later. Since then I've put 5-figure sums in and out, longest delay was less than an hour. 

I've had no cause to trouble their CS.

Just saying.

Reviews are not good, especially about the app.

I was enthusiastic about Kroo, and a very early adopter of their current account. I got lots of my friends to sign up, too. Then they started the nonsense of holding up incoming payments coming from my own accounts at other banks, and sometimes taking an entire day over checking whatever it is they are checking.

Their processes might be acceptable to you but they aren’t for me.

Just saying.

I won’t touch Kroo. Just don’t feel comfortable about them, especially with all of the reported technical issues.Just not convinced that they are set up for high demand.

For anyone considering opening an account with Kroo, Top Cashback are still offering £20.

Personally, I have had no problems with Kroo, and will be moving money from Chase to Kroo on 1 April unless Chase raise their rates.
