Great to have such easy access to statements! Two improvements I would suggest:
Make it clear what kind of transaction something is. At the moment, for instance, ATM withdrawals aren’t labelled as such but just as the place you withdraw from (for instance, it’s difficult to distinguish between buying food at the local shop and withdrawals).
Foreign transactions aren’t clearly shown as such, and don’t show the original amount in the native currency and the exchange rate.
I realise these things are available in the much prettier CSV export, but it would still be good to make the statements more readable.
Also, a couple of my iTunes transactions are labelled as ‘pending’ even though by the time the statement was generated, they are settled. Is this a bug? Or how should I be interpreting this label?
My salary just shows a reference number, it doesn’t show the company name as it does in-app. Would be good to show the company name rather than a load of numbers as I only know it’s my salary because its a larger amount.
Also, in-app transfer to contact show “Transfer to PHONE NUMBER” - would it be possible next to it to pull the contact name and put it in brackets and grey maybe?
Nationwide convert all descriptions to lower case with word caps. It’s far from perfect, but I think it reads better than all caps as in Monzo’s statement; it’s much easier to parse. If we’re not going to get ‘pretty’ names, I vote for lowercase text with word caps.
When I tap the ‘Bank Statement (PDF)’ button I seem to get an error (see image). However, QIF and CSV files are exported as normal. Is anyone else getting this error?
UPDATE: turns out the app just needed an update. It works now!
I think the ‘Current Balance’ should state as of which day I had that balance. For example, Current Balance as of 26/01/2018
Also the pending items should be changed but I understand James will be working with the Mastercard Payments team after you have shipped statements to everyone to resolve these
