do you find that once you’ve added a new payee, subsequent transfers to that payee via the app  don’t require use of the card reader?

I don't use the app myself, but have seen on a different forum about the app asking for the card reader to be used at unexpected times.

Oh joy!!! So it's random

It tends to ask for the card reader if you're sending money to an existing payee that you haven't paid for a long time.  If you pay them regularly, you shouldn't have to use the card reader.

Okay

Is the card reader straight forward to use? Mine doesn't even have an on/off switch!

It switches on when you put a card in.

There will be instructions on-screen when you need to generate a code.  The only 'difficult' thing is paying attention to which function you need to use.  Most of the time it will be 'Identify', but sometimes you need to use 'Sign'.  Quite easy to follow the 'Identify' process by habit if you miss the instruction to use 'Sign'.

seems a bit of a faff but if it keeps your money safe then….
