Even on Google play there are many complaints. By the way apologise and authorise are the British standard spelling of authorize and apologize.

Work money due to drop tonight but they’ve suspended my account for no reason !

I opened up an account less then a week ago and I have had my work money sent to this account . They have suspended my account until the team review documents . I have send the documents requested but the company have gone ghost on me . I get paid tonight and I have no source of funds due to Arro not responding. A lot of friction in the communication I’m dissatisfied due to my money being kept from me .

No Number to call that’s free , What a crisis! I’m going to have to take this up with my financial people.

Holding money because of 'Fraud Compliance issues'

I opened an account recently and after a mere two transactions my account is suspended for a review to be completed. I was ok with this, being an honest person trying to make an honest living I answered the questions put to me immediately. However it's been 3 days now so I wrote to the team again asking when I can expect for this to be resolved, I have bills to pay and with one of the payments being from my tenant it leaves me in a sticky situation.

I was told 'We are unable to tell you time period, once this review has been completed, we will contact you again.' which for most people is NOT good enough! How long will my money be tied up for? I think it is outrageous to put an individuals bank on hold with absolutely no indication of how long the money will be unavailable for.

Really awful first time customer experience, any new transaction can look suspicious if they have absolutely no data on the individuals spending habits, so why not wait to see how they use the account before suspending it after just two transactions? I received a patronizing response which basically told me I was welcome to make a complaint. NO, I just want access to the money I work hard off for.

I'd love to get this resolved but don't see it happening anytime soon so I will just have to let my followers on other platforms know of my distress.

Opened my account a few days ago,straight forward and easy to do,got confirmation of.my account details by text straight away,received my card today,activated it and transferred money into it and have used it for online purchases already,only thing that was different was the cvv no that they sent on text to the actual one that is on the card ,but guess that's just an extra security measure

Set up account fine

Set up account fine to receive Universal Credit - send and receive payments from friends - make deposits online - make purchases online.
First transactions that filtered through my account I recieve an email asking what's this what's that!! I replied to email with what transactions were ie benefits payments in - bills and monies owed out to friends and family and received response the next day saying all is fine.
Only major problem I have is the timescale and fees of faster payments as with High Street banks it's instant - with Arro it takes some time but all payments have been made in and out within an hour or so.

Hi Louise. Thank you for the feedback. As we're regulated by the FCA we do have to review account information and sometimes ask for clarification on payments. Thank you for your understanding in responding so quickly and we're pleased the result was established the next day. There are several factors in the speed of faster payments including the sending and receiving banks or money issuers but I'll pass that feedback on to the operations team as a service we could improve. Best Regards.

not very straight forward when both your personal and business card gets nuked for suspected fraudulent activity when all i'm trying to do it run my business. I accept payments from customers for goods and now have no means of paying for my business costs. It leads to question their practices when its happening to so many other people and NETBET claim that the cards are issued from russia.

I have been paid my Esa money in to my account and because my mother in law transferred me 200 pound to get my phone screen fixed they have decided to block my account. I am diabetic and suffer with mental health problems and they seem to making worst surely it's illegal to keep my Esa money away from me. This needs sorting or I will file a law suit against arro.

Hi Wayne. I've been in touch with customer support and I understand the issue has already been resolved, your account is open and you're happy with the final outcome. I apologise for any inconvenience caused but as I'm sure you're aware that as we are regulated by the FCA we have to, on occasion, suspend accounts to monitor account activity in the interests of ensuring customer security and preventing fraud. Thank you for your feedback.

Terrible bank for bank business stay away from Arro

When I first opened a business and got paid my account was blocked and it got opened again by compliance they said i went over a limit and on Friday I went to pay my mechanic and card was declined so I left without paying for home and my card has been blocked due to suspicious activity I earn a lot and spend a lot so I have a lot of outgoing and incoming but because of that they’ve completely suspended my account so I now have a business with no business account no way of receiving money I’m stuck I wish I never heard of arro bank they’ve really messed up my business I have no trust with them at all.

I was sceptical about using arro money

I was sceptical about using arro money, however they have certainly surprised me and I've already recommended them to friends and family. Despite having had a few issues with regards to my account surrounding "a compliance review", I'm happy nonetheless, as at least I'm confident that they're doing their job and checking my account for potential fraud or scams lurking about. So far I'm keen to carry on banking with them.

Was skeptical at first as account was put on hold after my wages were put in, after speaking with them and explaining source of my funds account was back open in a very short amount of time
