Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The layout is not intuitive at all. Common actions are several clicks away and the Home Screen is cluttered with useless stuff. Their take on biometrics is infuriating. You can’t perform most important functions unless you’re sitting up in a perfectly lit space. Every other banking app uses the phone's internal biometrics. Why can’t they do the same?
EHTech
I lost 100 pounds and they are not doing anything, no customer service, nothing. This is a scam bank oversecurity scam. Very disappointed and very poor service!

The latest update seems to have removed the option to check account balances from previous dates. I loved being able to scroll back in my current account and see what my balance was this time last month by holding and dragging. This feature has now gone.
