Internet Banking without Mobile Phone

I have no issue with using a mobile for stronger security, i.e. HMRC. I do have an issue being forced to use a mobile banking app. (I believe Santander have subsequently stepped back from that requirement).Personal Responsibility - Sad but True

You soon will, with a number of banks. That's what a number of people are complaining about.
I am aware some of people here are banking with more than twenty Banks/BS. I myself have only installed four of them the one that I mostly used when I am traveling and only provide mobile banking.
I wonder how you guys manage to install all of these individual banking apps if you are banking with more than twenty bank / BS (say) ??0 -
So how could you say it little a bit extreme to restrict access to those people who have a mobile phone, where you still have the option to use telephone banking, visit ?. I think you will need to rethink they way you perceive what is the so called Extreme ?.
Adaptation is the key to survive based on the Darwin Theory.
Can you not see the difference between quickly logging in to your account each day - for me it's often between 5 and 7 in the morning - to check that any payments in/out have gone through as expected and that there is no evidence of anything untoward, and having to go to the trouble of phoning in or even visiting a branch?0 -
To be honest, a mobile phone banking app would be PERFECT for quick checks on transactions every morning. You wouldn't even need to get out of bed for that.
So, instead of swimming against the tide, get someone's old phone, factory reset it, install the app (it's dead easy to use) and look on the bright side of life.0 -

I do find it a bit funny that people who are happy to use online banking are so anti-app, despite apps being generally more secure than online banking.
As an aside, I am a Santander customer and have never had any communication from them to say that the app is becoming mandatory. Quite the contrary, they make it very clear that the OTP, which they have been using for years to authorise transactions, will be one of the ways to do the authentication for logins.0 -

In many cases, If you just need to check transaction, you could still use internet banking without mobile phone. I am actually commenting about an opinion to call it little a bit extreme to restrict access to those people who have a mobile phone.0 -
These new regulations really !!!! me off. I cannot access my phone at work so what exactly am I supposed to do, order and carry around 8 different cards and card readers just in case I want to access my bank accounts?
It should be possible to opt out of this stupid scheme. I am perfectly content with the current method used by Lloyds, TSB, Nationwide, NatWest, and, until a couple of weeks ago, First Direct. Fair enough ask for extra verification when setting up a new payee but I want to login, view my accounts, and send money to accounts I often send money to without extra hassle.0
