  I had one bank like that but when I called them they were able to disable the app and use text/email instead. The catch was that if I ever opened the app again it was re-enabled.

    It’s literally ONLY got an app. No web, no branches. They’ve become quite common and popular in the UK (like Revolut).

      That’s crazy to me. I only use my local bank at their physical location. I feel like the fact that they exist in close proximity to their customers who can put hands on them gives them a little extra incentive to not do corrupt bullshit.

        My joint account with my partner is with a local building society, but branches are shutting left and right in the UK…

      Eh I don’t think that’s an actual bank. There’s a lot of unregulated banking adjacent entities that are popping up without regulations or government backed security. Be careful when putting your money in any of these.

        Nope, it is FCA/Prudential registered bank. These fintech solutions are very common in the UK.

        I’ve discovered I can access my account online, but cannot send money from there (Zopa).

        Monzo and Revolut now have some barebones web implimentation (over a decade after launched).

        Atom has no web access at all.

        Chase UK doesn’t have web access as far as I can tell.

        All of the above are registered banks.
