  • New version

    The Log in/ Pin Number bar needs to moved up marginally (iPhone version ) because it interferes with the data input. No such problem on the iPad version. Otherwise good functionality and does what’s required.
  • Very Limited

    This app is functional for a banking app & does exactly what you need it to do. However it is in the dark ages when it comes to technology and other banks - FaceID, ApplePay, no pending account balance, paying people (without using a card reader to set them up) & a number of other features which are lagging behind the market place. Significant advancements are required for them to keep up with the market/advancing tech world...

  • Outdated

    - No face ID or fingerprint recognition software unlike barclays or similar banks
    - No apple pay yet when many banks that operate in the uk offer this service
    - Outdated, basic design
    - The whole service needs a drastic overhaul
  • Basic

    Reliable app but missing features that should be there-
    > Face or fingerprint recognition
    > ApplePay
    > Real time transactions out of hours

    Hi, Thanks for your feedback. We include your wishes in prioritizing future development. Best regards Erik
  • Very basic

    It works, it’s a banking app, but compare it to almost any other bank and it’s way behind. There’s no fingerprint login, no updates to balances outside working hours (even internal transfers) no pending transactions, no ability to add payees, and there’s still a card reader!? Even HSBC\ First Direct moved on from that. Plus the general functionality/ usability of it is clunky. It feels like each element has been built in silos and not as one cohesive tool, and not from the perspective of the end user. It’s way behind others.. and what about Apple Pay too?

  • Good

    Good functionality but would be really great to be able to do transfers to new payees on a phone without a card reader, even if this was just for purchases under £30.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for the feedback. With the introduction of our recent security enhancements, we are now looking at adding additional features to our app. Being able to make low value payments to new beneficiaries is one of a number of additional features which we should be able to provide in the future.
  • Way Behind

    This app is a long way behind competitor offerings.

    It’s missing the following:

    1) Fingerprint login
    2) Ability to add payees
    3) Ability to change standing orders

    And daily payments are limited to £3,000—a fair bit below what competitor apps allow.

    A great bank, but they’re letting themselves down by not investing in customer-facing IT.

  • Needs work

    Whilst this app works “okay”, it is a bit retro and reminds me of the early days of online banking. It is not user friendly and requires some updates to bring it into 2018.

    Some ideas for improvement:
    - Face/Touch ID (most other banking apps have this, it’s not a difficult request)
    - Ability to pay new payees not just saved ones

  • Good app, great bank

    Good and simple app, does most things that need to be done on an iPad.
    Only useful thing would be if we could add new recipients for payments.
    Another user in their review complains that transfers between Accounts do not show up until the next day. That is because you cannot physically transfer between Accounts with HB outside of normal working hours. Not a faulty app, just their rules I'm afraid.

  • Needs improving

    This is app is good but not totally useful. You cannot transfer to new beneficiaries, only saved ones. Which is annoying, I cannot always log onto computer to add a new beneficiary with my card reader.

    Transfers either take longer to process or longer to show up. Balance updates are slow. Not sure if this is a Handelsbanken thing or an app thing, but transfers to and from the accounts never work outside of standard banking hours e.g. Weekends.

    Would be an amazing app if they looked into that. I avoid using it to be honest.
