I definitely see it as more of a 90s vibe. Acres of beige PCs and fax machines.
Amazing how right they got the branding in 1991.
Opened a new FD account mainly for access to the Reg Saver. All done via the App which was smooth and not like the several times I’ve had an account with them in past where I’ve started the application online and had to finish it by phoning them up
Been back with FD a week and forgot how nice and simple it all was
Going to move everything over here from HSBC Advance ![]()
Such a tease, I hope they don’t spoil things by making it more like the HSBC app
Agreed, it is delightfully minimalist at the moment.
Sort that Home Screen balance out I’ll be happy
In the year and a half I banked with them “new shiny changes” meant basically nothing. So I wouldn’t expect much.
I like the current simplicity and hope nothing drastic changes…it probably wont!
My notifications seem to work then stop. Reported it twice they appear to fix it then it stops again. Takes 10 years after everyone else and they still can’t produce a stable feature. Anyone else having this (on Android)?
Only been back with FD for just over a week and notifications are working fine on my S25 Ultra
And CASS submitted earlier today to move across from HSBC Advance to FD. Been trying to work out how many times I’ve been here over the last 22 years and must be 5 or 6 times
Lets see how long it lasts this time
I definitely preferred FD to proper HSBC.
I’m actually sat here pondering on moving everything over.
It’s a shame Lloyds can’t fix up their act a bit quicker; they have all that money to do so.
Does FD prompt you the day before if there’s not enough funds for a bill?
Sorry cant remember if that happens
All I can remember is that it shows upcoming payments in/out
Might even venture to Chase; my friend loves it and that’s rather simplistic in comparison. I don’t use the budgets or analytics much any more.
