This is the same with Starling. There’s a balance to be had, and the big banks seems to be airing on the side of caution.
It’s sort of understandable, can you imagine the response if a bank as big as Barclays ‘blocked’ someone from accessing their funds? Likewise, I suspect they don’t want to increase their customer service load by increasing friction.
Wouldn’t be Barclays blocking it though. There’s not even a message though asking if you’re sure or having to enter your app pin to turn it back off. Friction is needed or it’s as useful as a chocolate fire guard
Please add this as well. It’s basically the ability to block spending from different places so you can’t spent money on JustEat and similar. It’d be great to either be able to set a monthly limit or even block payments all together.
People might be going to petrol stations to buy scratch cards or alcohol as these are usually opened till late or even 24h.
Just moved this to the dedicated thread. Hope that’s OK!
Most actually stores are also open 24 hours (Most big tescos and a lot of corner stops are open to late)
