Ratings and reviews

Generally the app is pretty good. However, the cheque deposit function is near to unusable. The app now controls photo capture and spends its time telling you to hold the phone flat and level. The only way to get it to take a photo is to hold the phone in a portrait orientation tilted slightly upwards. It then rejects your photo about 5times till you get lucky and one is accepted. The previous cheque deposit worked far better with manual photo capture

Apps works really well when you are logged in and it's getting updated a fair bit too. My biggest problem with this app is when you have logged out completely and when you try to sign back in and you TRY to ACCEPT the TERMS and CONDITIONS! say for example having a new phone or a reinstall of the app it's always saying sorry seems to be a technical fault please try again later. And from that point it's 50/50 if it works. A massive inconvenience.

Impossible to login using thumbprint, after briefly flashing up failure of thumbprint it goes straight to memorable data entry. This is very frustrating as every other app using this login method, ten at the last count, works perfectly all the time. I've seen other reviews stating the same thing. Are you intending to fix this problem? NB I'm using the latest update of 3/6/24. Phoned support and they say there's been no report of the problem!

What's new

We've been working on bug fixes and performance improvements, to make our app work even better for you.
