Not all banking apps are made equal. While some have slick interfaces and snazzy features, others can be a pain to navigate.

How would you rate your bank's app? If you have several, focus on the one you use most.

Vote in the poll then share your thoughts in the thread.

    I have several, the only annoying thing is that they keep changing them for absolutely no benefit to me whatsoever.

    So as I type this, 40% are good and 40% are excellent...

    If the banks/apps aren't specified, this is pointless.

    I like the HSBC app, don't have any complaints, would like to see more improvements on the budget features with respect to subscription entries, but that's just the extra mile.

    I've not had to visit or call in a long while

    I'm FTB, not an expert, all my comments are from personal experience and not a professional advice.
    Mortgage debt start date 11/2024 = 175k (5.19%)... Q1/2026 = PAID (3.94%)

    I have several

    Nationwide is good for day to day things.

    Revolut is slick but unreliable. Couldn't make a deposit yesterday.

    Trading 212 is very good, and you can do far more on it than normal banking apps eg buy/sell investments, manage card payments (for which you get cashback 1.5% if you invest it (commission free))

    Lloyds is good - but I only use it for a credit card.

    I refuse to use banking apps. That way they can't steal the details from my phone!
