    Talking of Chase and its app, has anyone got the PC-based Android Emulator BLISS OS to work the Chase app?  Knowing little about Android, I'm initially trying to unroot the OS.  Any ideas, anyone?

    I quite like the top 10 table, but surely it is only of interest to those that do not have a Chase account.
    Some of us don't like to use a bank which operates app-only. So I'm not Chase-ing after their product.
    That's your choice. I prefer to use an account that pays 20% more than its nearest competitor.

    I really cannot see any downside of an app only bank.

    Maybe spending that 20% or more on a new phone or device that will actually run the app in the first place?

    The downside of an App only bank for some of us is the associated microscopic keyboard together with the fact that many posters have reported problems with the Chase App. Not to use it is my choice which I am permitted to have, just like you are permitted to have your choice.
    However, even for microscopic keyboard lovers, the top 10 table posts here are also extremely useful for those who have more than £85,000 to deposit, So please don't criticise the usefulness of the posts.

    I’ve not seen many posts reporting problems with the Chase app once it’s installed..the only issue appears to be whether your tech can handle it or not. The app runs smoother than a baby’s bottom on my iPad…

    Once installed I have had no problems with the Chase app. Others may differ of course.

    I actually said that I quite like the top 10 table.

    I understand people moaning about chase app, as some have had issues. Old tech.
    New technology it a !!!!!!.
    But app based is the way forward.
    Instant account opening, sort code and account number etc.
    Plus HSBC, TSB, NatWest and Halifax in my area have closed or are closing in the next few months.
    The only place I can pay money in is the post office.

    Someone complained on the regular saver site about me posting that Chase was paying out interest tomorrow Sunday 1st May. I thought it was useful as most posters would not expect interest to be paid until Tuesday 3rd May. Those posters who have put £85,000 in the account will probably want to skim the interest out. Sorry if some did not find helpful
