icount is the new name of ClearCash and all that has changed is the branding and website. Fees are the same as they have always been.

A sly and crafty organisation

I have used this company for a few years, and it was fine until about 6 month's ago, when it changed to icount. They changed to an Indian call centre. They started taking random amounts each month (Clearcash was fee free). They totally messed up my PayPal account (and then charged me £10 for the privilege!). The final straw was when I paid a bill with the card, and they took £5.95 for their fee, left me in debt, and tried to charge me £15 "because there were insufficient funds to cover the original bill!" Avoid this company at all cost, they will attempt to rob you blind!!!
