    I've had what I think is a novel experience!
    Opened the new Principality 6m RS, got my account details.
    Paid £200 into it from my Santander Edge putting Principality Building Society as the payee and my details in the reference box. Checked later to confirm that it had been safely received at PBS and credited to my new account.
    Going to my Santander account later, I saw that the payment was showing as sent to Darlington Building Society but with the sort code code etc belonging to the Principality. Relieved of course that I knew it had reached my account at PBS.
    Those wrong details are now listed as a saved payee! But they won't be for much longer!
    What do you make of that?
    And banking apps don't let you take screenshots to record this sort of thing. That way they can blame the customer when money goes missing 
    I don’t know what phone you are using, but with my iphone I can take s screenshot of whatever is on the screen, including from within banking apps.
    Not with Android you can't 
    Just tried Chase - I can on Android.
    Then tried Barclays - I cannot.

    categorically not true - banking apps can stop iphone screenshots should they wish - they can't stop you taking another phone to take a photo of your phone screen though!
    Can they stop screen recorder as well?

    Just tried with Coop bank and they do stop it because of "security policy "
