Chase Bank.

10 Posts

Hi all. I've just read the latest email from Martins team regarding the 1.5% interest with Chase. The problem we have is that it appears to be app only. Neither of us have the "all singin' all dancin' phones. Is there any other way we can invest with Chase to get this return.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

I doubt they are trying to limit take up , as they are advertising on TV . I am afraid if a new app is launched that is expected to have a good fast user interface , then it is inevitably going to be based on the latest operating systems .
Iphone 6 operating system can not be updated to the next IOS but it still receives updates . However one day , it will slowly become obsolete. Probably before then it will stop working properly anyway , as they do not last forever.
On the other side an upgrade to a better i phone will cost more than a coupe of hundred pounds , even if you don't go for a new/latest one .
Maybe take comfort in the fact that this market leading rate will not last forever . Once they have hit their target of new customers , it will drift back towards the norm.
Unfortunately some people need protecting from themselves if they can't see the risks of insecure and unsupported technology.

You have to try to do so with photo ID. I only have a photo passport, and the app tells me to "move closer", or "reduce glare" and won't automatically take a snap of the passport - however it does eventually time out from doing that and lets you take a snap manually. It then prompts you to take a selfie and will only take that using smile recognition. This means it has a smiling selfie that it compares to the washed out terrible quality passport photo where you're forbidden from smiling, and consequently it can't match them up.
I've tried several times with 2 different phones and had the same behaviour with both.
I've given up with it - hopefully there will be someone along with a better rate soon.
