Major Highlights of the Week

Login Frustrations
Users experience issues with the app not defaulting to Face ID for login, requiring manual initiation, which is seen as cumbersome. This lack of seamless login is perceived as a poor user experience compared to competitors.
The app doesn't automatically default to Face ID, you have to press a button to initiate it.
Transaction Visibility
Once a statement is issued, associated transactions disappear from the app, leaving users unable to view past transactions, which is a significant inconvenience for financial tracking. This lack of historical transaction visibility is a critical gap in the app's functionality.
Notification Absence
The app lacks notifications for debits or credits, which users find essential for real-time financial management and security. This absence of alerts is a major drawback compared to other banking apps that offer this feature.
Very basic app, no alerts when debits or credits are made.
Payment Delays
Transfers to other Co-op accounts do not process immediately, causing uncertainty and delays in financial transactions. This delay in processing is a significant issue for users who expect instant transfers.
When sending to another Co-op account, it doesn’t go straight through, causing delays.
Feature Limitations
The app is perceived as outdated and lacking in features such as the ability to freeze cards, deposit cheques, or change contactless limits, which are available in competitor apps. This lack of modern banking features is a competitive disadvantage.
Compared to the NatWest app, it has pretty much nothing apart from sending money.
App Availability
