Royal Bank of Scotland new pots
I have received an updated app today they now allow pots which are quite good.

Halifax app showing Lloyds accounts and vice versa
Hi, Just logged into my accounts and now can see all accounts in either app so my Lloyds accounts show in the Halifax app and my Halifax accounts in Lloyds.
