Was that from last year’s annual report?
Ah well, it’s nice to be in the top 1% of something…

it was about three hundred users in Jan 2016 which means 1% equated to 3 users - who was the other one ???

I am afraid you would be nearer top 3% and likely even 4% when we see the 2018 data.
But still a unique club

They won’t. The majority of the older generation I see on Facebook (and real-life) are scared of change.
My grandparents are ‘scared’ of the internet and like to walk into a brick and mortar bank to talk to a real person. I’ve proved many times the advantages of using Amazon and impressed them with next-day delivery, cheap prices etc. but there’s really no reason for them to switch. The constant scare-mongering of the media of hacking doesn’t help either. Besides, their ‘legacy’ accounts do just fine (and did me fine before switching to be honest).
A lot of people on Facebook are scared of ‘cashless society’ etc. Whilst there’s an obvious concern and it would be horrific to see cash go totally, it’s still going to be hard to convince them otherwise. My dad’s always been quite tech-savvy to an extent and he’s scared of using contactless/Android Pay.
Just leave them with their legacy banks and we can enjoy the fruits of modern technology.

Not really wrong though. Just because we’ve got some people here from the “older generation” that are up to date and welcoming the next generation of banking doesn’t mean there are no people out there that refuse change at all cost, even if the challenger bank would benefit them (have first-hand experience with this; my parents are loosing so much time & money with their legacy bank but always come up with bullshit excuses to not open an N26 account, not even to give it a try).

To you it’s a bs excuse but to them it’s a perfectly valid reason.

Well…wrong in any number of ways but let’s not…
But I will suggest that, judging by the very clearly visible level of genuine ignorance regarding challenger current account usage (not the least of it, that relating to overdrafts and money management), leaving the err “younger generation” to their own devices would in many cases, be disastrous.
But let’s not…
