Phone on last legs. Which banks apps will be least and most problematic if not deregistered?

I've been setting up a new android phone today. My old android phone is still in use and banking apps are still installed.

No problems setting up Santander and TSB apps (and six other banking apps) on the new phone with no need to deregister on the old phone.

j.p

The Metro app only works in up to three devices, before at least one needs deregistering, which can be done through chat.

I've had a similar misbehaving phone recently that had various problems then wouldn't charge, but I did manage to deregister the apps that offered it before it died. I then did a remote erase and it worked well - it didn't erase the screen lock which is a good thing.

Chase will make you go through the ID/selfie check again on a new device (can't remember if you can explicitly deregister it).

Ultimately if your device is stolen then they have to offer a mechanism around that as you'd be unable to deregister.
