---- AVOID CIRCLE PAY ---- THEY TOOK £300 FROM ME. I had used this as a means to send money to my little sister for her birthday. When it got into her account, they suspended mine without reason. I didn't mind because I didn't intend to use my account for anything else. UNTIL they also suspended my sister's account when she tried to withdraw her money! £300 GONE They said they would 'hold' the money for 90 days (Is that even legal?), and 90 days was 6 DAYS AGO. Of course, they didn't bother reaching out to me. I emailed them and inquired about my money. No response, 5 days later. SCAM COMPANY. AVOID.

Even though their site and app are nice to use, and they have nice features like two-factor and bitcoin support. There service is a lotto, you are restricted to limited transaction per week which "can" be increased on a quote "case-by-case basis", even though I passed all the extra auth they still wouldn't increase my limit. First issue was they provide a unique referral code which one would assume they have a scheme, I saw they said they would provide £10 per friend, after signing up serval friends (10+), I found out this was a lie and that to get that I have to enquire to be opted in to that scheme and be considered. Next issue was a few months in they sent a welcome email again as if my account was reset and asked me to resubmit all my security stuff again (proof ID via photos etc) to which they responded to my email with "We take security very seriously at Circle, and sometimes we randomly review accounts.", after providing them with it and getting confirmation emails they asked me more question at this point I gave up. Please don't consider using them, they are very sneaky with how they operate and not clear about their restriction, had I known all this I wouldn't have given them so much of my information.
