Skipton new app

intalex

Skipton have published a new app which I was notified of when logging-in on the old app this morning, it's called "SBS by invite" on the App Store, and seems simple enough to set up and start using, one improvement I can see is the ability to view closed accounts…

Shame I only have their easy access with a £1 balance in it, just to retain membership… nothing else competitive enough…

Nothing new for me when logging in on the App just now (four accounts). Maybe as the title suggests it's a staged roll out by 'invite'?

Edit: I can see it on the App store but no invitation for me.

’Phased’ rather than ‘Big Bang’ implementation. Basic and sensible ITIL methodology.

Indeed.

They also say (paraphrasing) that "we know it might have some bugs to begin with" and that once you've switched to the new app, you won't be able to use the web portal for a while, as that's also being updated.

So kinda like a semi-public beta test.

I've not had the invite, but I'll be holding off for a bit if I do.

One of the bugs being not calling it "SBS By Invitation". 🙄

Just tried to use this new Skipton app. It tells me there is no internet connection. Funny that, because all my other apps are working fine on my Android phone and Windows laptop. So there most definitely is an internet connection! Maybe the new app cannot handle a 5GHz wifi connection? Anyone else having this problem?

I am on an iPhone. They made me log in with ID and PW today (normally use FaceID), and I had to re-register my phone even though I had not changed it. Once that had been done, I could log in ok.

May be reinstall the app?

I can view closed accounts in the existing app.

Any recent experiences of switching to the new App?

Just had my invite and noticed it said I would lose access to secure messaging after the upgrade.

As I have an ISA maturing soon I've declined the invite for now just in case I want to message them.

What is the new App usability like?
