Ratings and Reviews
Will not do transfers
Can log in and see my savings accounts fine but apart from that it’s useless as if I try to do any transfers internally from one YBS a/c to another - both savings or try to do a transfer I get the message Unable to complete payment. Unable to complete payment from debters account - I took a screenshot if you would like to see it. If I go online via Laptop there is no problem making my transfers. So unless it starts to work as you say it will I will be deleting it which is sad as I was one of your first customers to sign up for online banking long ago and one of the first to join the queue to be told when App was ready. I don’t need an App just to tell me my balances them I know but one that saved me having to switch on laptop and go through all the tedious but necessary security checks. I hope you can fix this.
Developer Response ,
Welcome to the YBS savings app and thank you for being a loyal customer. We appreciate the feedback - please could you leave us some more details in a secure message through your on-line banking so that we can look into this?
Keeps dropping out
The YBS App is great and easier than having to log in every time - l can now do all my banking on my iPhone and sign in using my fingerprint. The only problem I’m experiencing is that l am being told an error has occurred and that l have to set up everything once again... this has happened at least 6 times to me, not sure if others are experiencing the same. Also a little more info would be good when it comes to my payee list just so l can identify the correct account I’m transferring to... l recently paid a £300 bill to my Halifax card when it should have gone to Yorkshire bank ( both cards are connected to Scottish banks and l ended up with not enough information showing on the app to pay the correct bill)
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're having connection issues. Please could you send further information about the error along with any screenshots of the error message to YBSSavingsApp@ybs.co.uk and we will look into this further.
Finger Print Recognition Fails
When I first logged in and set up Finger Print Recognition the app worked fine for me and would have received 4 stars.
One day later and I can’t log in at all as after the standard Apple ‘log in with your fingerprint’ screen all that happens is the screen displays “Something went wrong” and ‘retry’ and no amount of retries will get me past that screen.
My phone is an SE2 running IOS 13.5.1 which shouldn’t be a problem for new software.
1 Week later ....... I decided to try to log on again (on the off chance) and everything worked fine. I normally turn my phone off at night so potentially the associated hard reset may have had an effect and I also delete all the cookies every couple of days so that may have had an effect also.
Either way the app seems to be working correctly now so gets a cautious four stars.
Developer Response ,
Welcome to the YBS savings app and thank you for your valuable feedback. We're thrilled you're now able to use the YBS app!
