Hi Guys,

Quick few about Sainsbury's;

1) No contactless, Apple or Android Pay?

2) Online banking seems a bit bare bones, no mobile apps either?

3) How do you check your promotional offers/interest without calling up? Is it on a statement or anything?
Thanks
JG

    No, no and no idea.

    Very basic, no app.

    The statement is detailed - much more so than the very basic web interface. No contactless, have not tried to add to Android pay. No app that I know of.

    1) Correct.
    2) No mobile app. Online banking looks like it could have been created by a GCSE Computer Science student.
    3) Info is on the statement.

    Contactless and a mobile app would have been nice.

    I see someone's taken a stab at designing one, wonder where that plan went?

    Looked quite nice too! Wonder why they stopped it being made?

    Also thanks will wait for first statement to make an appearance.
    Thanks

    Split this one into a second post;

    The online banking doesn't seem to update at all? Is it a bit broken at the moment or does it refresh the data every few days?
    Thanks

    I'll guess.

    It doesn't update on bank holidays.

    Should I be concerned that the direct debit for my Sainsburys MasterCard has been setup under;

    SAINSBURYS BANK VISA CLASSIC

    Albeit with the correct reference in place?

    Also online seems to be updating with a bit more regularity now but its still pretty hit and miss.

    I'm guessing Sainsburys are a tad behind the latest technological curve.

    No.

    Maybe we're moving away from all those pesky bank holidays.
