Budgeting & bank accounts

Hi I know I've been here before but can't remember what's causing the problem. I've linked my new Starling account to PayPal and the DD is showing in the Starling app but when I try to add money to my balance in the app I get the dreaded 'things don't appear to be working at the moment'. Can anyone jog my memory? Many…

I’ve recently started paying more attention to the smaller things I spend money on each month. It’s quite surprising how quickly they add up. A coffee here, a takeaway there, a subscription that I forgot about or a few things bought online because they looked like a good deal! None of them seem particularly expensive on…

I have a Nat West account that I get rewards for spending etc each month. I am looking to switch accounts however I have £9 outstanding rewards. It seems random when it becomes available. You have to claim this money when it becomes available. I suppose what I’m asking is will I still be able to claim this if it becomes…

Mrs Chocolate and I have a joint Santander account and have previously had a First Direct joint account. We also have an individual Natwest accounts. Does anyone know whether I can switch my Natwest to Santander or HSBC and get the bonus or will they knock me back for being a previous customer ?

I've just seen this on offer in the app. Does anyone know if money held in it qualifies towards the required £1000 "in saver accounts" for cashback on debit card spending? Makes it far more palatable if so.

I had this notification come up last night asking about a couple of payments which was sent from an ex friend a few months ago, asking what they was for and who sent them anyways I replied and thought nothing of it but it kept playing on my mind, today I’ve had a email from monzo informing me that my account will be closed…

I am having appalling problems in attempting to open an Everyday Current Account with Santander:- I first applied 17 days ago. I have received some 13 emails from Santander. In addition by post I received appropriate debit card & PIN. I received this on the 11th September. I then received 2 letters dated 12th & 15th re…

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…

This morning I received a push notification from my Lloyds app saying I had spent £x at Amazon from my current account. I immediately thought it was fraud, since I don't use my Lloyds or Halifax debit cards on Amazon. But on logging in, there was no sign of the transaction in any of my accounts. I messaged Lloyds, and the…

A couple of thing have started to annoy me recently… Firstly is that I can no longer rename my accounts (you can still do this with the mobile app for some reason). I have a current account, standard savings account, 5 limited access accounts, and an ISA. It can now get very confusing as previously I had renamed them to…

I want to have a small balance to use for public toilets and free trials and stuff, making Monese my DODGY card, haha-too true! Weirdly, I had the chance to order a card for free today (maybe my old one expired) I see they now charge 99p for bank transfers. Making what was a nigh on impossible banking product even more…

Lloyds Bank has recently removed the facility to select savings transactions using a date range. This was a useful option when selecting past transactions when using the online system before exporting them into excel. Anyone else found this change inconvenient or problematic?

Hi, wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar with Santander and can tell me what happened / how long it took…. I opened an account and paid in an HMRC refund check at their branch. Santander froze my account a few days later (22nd Aug) and I provided the HMRC document the day they requested it (26th Aug).…

Hi I'm trying to make multiple card transactions within google pay and while going through the biometric authentication the card changes to my default card. Can anyone explain why this is? Many thanks

HSBC decides Samsung Secure Folder and Android's Private Space are no place for a banking app It said the block was "a proportionate security control designed to mitigate a foreseeable security risk"…

I've had the Tesco Bank app on an Android device for a while and it is working fine for viewing my savings accounts. I'm now trying to install the same app on another Android (tablet) device but it is now not being displayed on Play Store list. Yes, there are lots of Tesco related apps showing such as: Tesco Mobile, Tesco…

Outgoing: Rent £1360 Council tax £108 Electric £60 Water £54 OK lets stop here for a second, that leaves £238 I run a car and a full…

This is about Lloyds Cashback and Challenges, not about Lifestyle Benefits. After my Cashback and Challenges had totally vanished, without notice or explanation, over a month ago, some of them have now come back after I raised a complaint (CS, chat, Branch all were unable to help). Lloyds acknowledged that there are…

Anyone use it or a similar cashback app? I've never used a cashback gift card, but I've spent a bit of time looking at the Tuck app recently, and have learned that you can load a gift card for everyday grocery shopping,, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, etc and get somewhere in the region of 3 to 4.5% cashback. Also available for…
