Then when you scroll a bit it goes white, which is how it should be as per the other tabs.
Poor show.

Huh?
Mines been like that a bit now.
How did that ever get signed off.
Especially when they talk a lot about accessibility, I can’t even read the text there.

Maybe they designed it around android first, I’ll have to try it on my android phone.
I really dislike the iPhone version. Give me the old version back.

Wait until you see what it does to the iPad version. Absolutely not a chance that meets accessiblity standards. It completely takes up the full screen on landscape.
Possibly, but I’m not so sure. In my case, I was with FD until previous premier meant I was eligible, so it made sense (who wouldn’t want free travel insurance). I’m a little annoyed at the fact it’s over, and that they’ve done existing customers dirty a little by saying they wouldn’t, then doing it - but as I said above it’s a business and it has to make money so I understand it.
I like big butts and I cannot lieeeeee.

Have you linked the balances to the other cards not shining?

It’s the open banking connection that causes the effect.

Some cards make it more difficult to see but as far as I can tell it’s applied by iOS and isn’t card specific.

I do wonder why they’ve kept FD around especially now as they clearly don’t know what to do with it. However, they still have that switch offer so seems like they haven’t given up with it just yet. Can’t imagine they’d still be offering money in a bank they wanted to get rid of. They also extended the naming rights for the First Direct arena less than a year ago

Fd has a loyal customer base making them money so why would you ditch a product that makes more than it loses

I don’t see them ditching it either. It may not get much attention, but it will likely stay there in the background doing what it has always been doing

Some of it is knowledge from surveys that I wouldn’t be allowed to share to be fair.
But they clearly went down a path to try to seem cool and appeal to the youth. The first post on this thread is literally about them wanting to compete with Starling and Monzo. Two plans, both fairly recently, that didn’t really work. That doesn’t really sound like a business that knows what they want to do with a product.

What is the change in direction though? They’ve not exactly replaced the cool skunk with anything
I don’t think I ever said that they definitely would spin off FD, but who knows what will happen next, things are still a little turbulent in the parent group just currently.
There was time when FD was very much the test bed for new things but then HSBC decided they’d lost too much and evidently pulled the plug on that.
I also wonder with the new CEO being ex-HSBC how much the brief is to keep it stagnent and hope over time it slowly peters out. Who knows.

We’re definitely in a period of change at the moment across the entire sector. Can’t imagine all the smaller banks/providers that popped up surviving. A few mergers/buy outs have already happened. Santander possibly thinking about leaving. The whole of HSBC going through changes. Interesting to see what happens
