I make a £1k transaction overseas each month so signed up to take advantage of the cash-back.
Nothing but trouble using the app last night and the same again today. Hope it’s worth this hassle.

Recently, I contacted Tandem to ask them to stop sending me paper statements (I just shred them so it’s a waste of paper).
Apparently, they are building a feature to email statements each month but they are required (as per the Consumer Credit Act 1974, paragraph 4) to send me some kind of statement regulaly and at the moment it has to be paper!
So there does seem to be a reason for all the paperwork!
You would think they could solve that by sending a mobile notification when the new statement is ready to view in the app’s “Statements” section.
Talking about statements, I don’t like the way they always send a separate “Making Payments” page with all their statements, they could print this on the back of another page or stop sending it after the first statement.
Was going to apply for a card, but their application said I had to phone to update my address.
The person on the phone said I had to email in proof of new address and they would get it updated.
Having done that, I received a reply saying that the documents I had sent in were different from my current (old) address, obviously!
Decided not to pursue the application.
Lol! Typical tandem
Typical legacy.
Hi everyone.
I’m Dan & I work at Tandem. If you have any questions you can ask here and I’ll pop in from time to time. Otherwise, for a quicker response DM me at facebook.com/tandemmoney and I’ll get you an answer as soon as possible. Already seen that there are quite a few good & specific feature suggestions hidden in this thread.
Just to answer a few things that have already come up -
I only have one question: why isn’t your username TanDan?
(Welcome, btw!)
Welcome @DanTandem I just signed up to Tandem a week or so ago and so far it’s going great.
Only slight issue is that I’ve linked my legacy bank account and so far the app hasn’t noticed my Virgin Media bill or any of my continuous payments… (ie… GiffGaff) I’m essentially told I have no bills… I wish.
Any plans for this in the near future then?
Hi @DanTandem why does the app not have badge notifications on iOS, it is so annoying hearing something then having to search for the notification.
Hi @anon72173902. I’ve asked the iOS team leader and he says this issue has been on the list for a little while, but it keeps dropping out of the sprint as they’ve been working hard on the new autosavings feature and have to prioritise. However, he agrees that it is annoying and has just increased the priority level on it. So thanks for the nudge.
I have a genuine question! Is a current account still in your future?
Hi @grant.macgregor . Yes, for our instant savings account we will have it done by April 2019. For our card accounts, it will be by September 2019.
It’s something that we might look at in the future, but no precise plans at the moment.
In the meantime, customers will be able to use our instant access savings account combined with our cards - save and spend - with easy transfer between them.
Yes. Before September 2019 according to our Head of Product. Hopefully a few months earlier.
Any plans for Starling support as well?
I’ll ask the app guys to look at it and see if it’s a known issue. Can you DM me your name and phone number associated with the account at facebook.com/tandemmoney? Thanks.
