Santander Select
Just had an email to learn that, apparently, I'm one of Santander's "most valued customers" (presumably because I've currently got 20 quid in my 123 Lite account, and they're very grateful) and so they're "upgrading" me to "Santander Select, our premier banking service".While it's very nice to be appreciated, I'd be even…

I could send cash to a cash point using the NatWest app, I thought this would be a facility that all high street banks offered via their app but I was wrong. I want to switch…

HSBC / First Direct login problems? App seems fine but not browser?
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced login issues with a desktop browser?

I can log into my accounts via the apps, but unable to seemingly…

Martin is doing a lot of talking about 159 and how it can't be spoofed or impersonated compared to normal numbers, but doesn't explain why. Does this mean it's no longer safe to use the numbers typically on the back of your debit card - the number which banks say you must always call and no other number? It seems strange…
