Easy

The app is easy to understand and simple to make payments and transfers. It is so much easier to keep track of payments and the balances. Would not want to go back to the old days of queuing at the bank or having to wait until the statement arrives in the post to check on the balance and to see if cheques had cashed or to make sure the bills were paid. Very pleased with the service.

Developer Response ,

Hi Alijay, thanks for your great 5 star review. I'm glad to hear you like our app. Kind regards – Sammie

Recent problems.

I’ve been using Smile bank almost since it started and have been satisfied. I have recently updated my IPad to Gen 10 and since then the problems have started. Very often when opening the App I get a message that security details cannot be verified and the only way I have found to re-activate it, is off load and re- install, this works for a while and then the problem starts again. I have removed the App and started again, all my Apple updates are in order and still it happens. I have contacted the bank by phone and got nowhere. I am now considering this is too much and looking at my options.

Developer Response ,

When it works it’s fine

Unfortunately it’s either a iOS update or the smile app update either iPad or iPhone 8 will come up with the message it can’t find a secure connection so have to delete and reinstall.
Other thing that’s really annoying you can’t pay cheques in using it like several other banks
Living in rural Cornwall there’s no longer a branch in the county once Truro’s the coop bank closed.
As for using post offices you assume we all have access to one. If I didn’t drive there isn’t a local PO.
Nearest the next village 2.5 mikes away has a mobile post office van 1.5 hrs once a week

Developer Response ,

Hi, thanks for your review. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience this is causing our IT team are aware of it and are hoping to have a fix in place soon. As well as paying cheques in at the Post Office you can also send them to us.
