They had said a little while that they’ve experienced some minor setbacks, but working to get back on track (or said something to that effect - I can’t find the quote).
I’d actually prefer the launch of the current account sooner, with all the basic features one would expect of rival banks (just done better) and without building on other features in the meantime, then I’d be able to ditch First Direct. The we can get more excited about any revolutionary new features.
I’ll be happy in either case. In differing amounts, I’m excited about all upcoming features.
