Has anyone used the Sidekick Money App

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone has used
Sidekick Money 

I have read online they offer Direct Debit regular payments to their savings accounts. Im just wondering if anyone can confirm and if I can setup weekly deposits?

Also would be great if anyone has any general reviews about the platform and recommendations please?

Thanks

    I haven’t used it myself, but have seen it mentioned a couple of times. From what I gathered, the Direct Debit setup does work, and you can choose weekly or monthly deposits depending on what suits you. Might be worth double-checking the small print on fees, though, as that’s usually where the catch is. Hopefully someone who’s actually using it can chime in with their experience.

    I can't link to their fee schedule but there appears to be no fees on their savings accounts, fees are related to their investment account only.

    I'm tempted to give them a go but keen to see if anyone has further feedback

    I recall some bad comments about it on here in the Savings sub forum rather than this one a while back - maybe a year ago.....
