I used them very briefly a number of years ago before I could open a proper UK account. As long as you opened the account yourself and you didn't just get a card in the mail randomly one day then I'd say they are perfectly "safe" (in the sense that it's not a scam - they aren't a proper bank and your money doesn't have FSCS protection as far as I'm aware). They don't have a reputation for good customer service however, although the one time I had to get in touch by email they replied fairly quickly.1

Although it may not qualify as a scam, Pockit has a dismal reputation and near nonexistent customer service, plus various fees. Why not open a fee-free basic account with a real bank instead..?

Not an option I'm afraid, but thanks
