I hate it when the bank changes their app.

I got a tax refund cheque today - completely out of the blue - so I went to my bank app to pay it in* And they have changed it. I've got to set up security all over again - which needed a new photo of my ID (which it wouldn't accept in the default auto mode, because of "glare", "blur", and / or "shake" but took right away in manual mode), then a security number, then a email link follow - finally get in, and wade through all the "welcome to ..." guff which tells you nothing about how to use it. Right, where's "pay in a cheque"? nope, not there, not over there, not this menu, no I didn't mean to close the damn app, ah! There, under "make a payment". Should have thought of that... Put the cheque on a plain background, click the button and ... only up to £1000 ... 15 minutes wasted. :sigh: I gotta post it (which means working out where I hid the paying in slips 10 years ago when I last used one) or go to the bank to pay it in. Which is a twenty mile round trip, but it's better off in my account than the tax mans! Leave these things alone, or provide a decent migration path guys - you just piss people off with this crap. * I don't know if you left ponders can do this, your banking system does seem to be about 20 years behind the times ... In the UK, we've been able to pay cheques in to our account by sending a photo of it via a secure banking app on the phone. You login (using biometrics etc.), take a picture of the cheque and it's in your account the next morning (provided it doesn't bounce). Really handy, quick, and easy, used it quite a few times over the years.

I can't - it was Michelle's taxes (which they demanded £400 of last November as she'd underpaid). I'm not getting involved in persuading HMRC to let me access her account (and since they know she is no longer with us, I'd hope her login (that I set up) has been cancelled at their end ...

My wife received a letter from Tesco today saying their bank is being taken over by Barclays - god help us - we only have a Tesco credit card for the loyalty points on the shopping - the points usually pay for the Christmas shop

Yes, we have the take a picture of your check (American spelling) to deposit feature. We have to sign the check on the back to endorse and take pictures of both the front and back. We aren't THAT behind.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

My bank over here has had it for quite a few years (large but not behemoth, with a culture of customer service). I'm not sure what the amount limit is though. I know we've deposited at least $1500 (1180 pounds) via the app. A 1000 pound limit sounds quite small.

As a left ponder, I sometimes wonder at how anyone can remain calm in the UK with the heavy regulations and stupidity in your government at all levels. Now it sounds like your banks have caught the stupid disease. (Oh, our government isn't any smarter...)

The IRS (US) and CRA (Canada) direct deposit into my account. In Canada, it's also easy to set up an account to send and receive payments via e-transfer, using an email address, although the amount you can send per day is limited to something like $2,500.

My app got updated a couple of months ago. I'd previously tried the pilot version, but couldn't see any improvements. Then, one day the 'normal' app said it needed to update. I assume there's changes under the hood, but the main visible one seemed to be it wanted to display a picture on the logion screen. Can't see the point of that really.

Can you imagine if car makers moved the steering to be left foot operated and the clutch was a knob on the dashboard, just to "freshen up the UI" yet, effectively, that's what they're doing here. Breaking a known and working UI. Extend, yeah, ok. Fundamentally change for why? No.
