## Yorkshire Building Society Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "App keeps forgetting my biometrics/it appears call centre are not told about these problems"
Not sure what is going with the YBS app, it’s hard to trust a financial services provider when their app glitches out so frequently. It’s very frustrating having to set up biometrics again every few months. ( looks like I’m not the only one - shouldn’t have to reinstall the app every time it happens - subpar frankly). I got in touch with their call centre - very helpful but sounds like they’re not even aware of these issues. think the people making the app need to remember there are people using it who are probably going to ring someone when it doesn’t work  and maybe tell there call centre when there’s problems.
-- extrapolatingnsnse, 2025-01-03

### ***-- "Surprise"
3 attempts to get a passcode!
-- Mikilm, 2025-01-02

### ***** "Brilliantly Yorkshire"
Thank you for making my banking access so easy
-- Banking Brilliance, 2024-12-30

### *---- "Only works on one device"
Who came up with an app that can’t be used on both an iPad and iPhone?  Absolute nonsense that you get an error message if you dare to use your iPhone one day and iPhone the next, please sort this out, no other bank or building society has this issue!
-- Hibeeg, 2024-12-29

### ***** "One to trust!"
Seriously impressive behaviour from YBS. They emailed me out of the blue about an account I had with them twelve years ago. I’d changed postal address and completely forgot about the several quid I had with them. All sorted and I’ve now invested much more than I originally had! Thank you YBS!
-- JustMePaul, 2024-12-20

### **--- "Poor communication"
Interest rate on my easy access account was reduced without notification.
-- Aliatt123#, 2024-12-19

### *---- "Doesn’t let me login"
Keeps saying ‘login failed’, even though I’m entering the exact same details as on the website.
-- sine Llama non, 2024-12-19

### *---- "Can’t trust it yet."
Difficult to complete a transaction, i.e. paying money in from a separate bank account, without feeling the money will get lost in the ether and or disappear into someone else’s account.   Paid in this morning  and had a message from the intermediary NatWest Payit that ‘something appears to have gone wrong ‘ and then never hearing from them again.  Three times now this problem.  Probably unnerving because of the length of time ‘Faster Payments’ (😆) takes to show in your YBS  account.
-- Fromagegrande, 2024-12-18

### ***-- "Fairly straightforward to use"
Fairly straightforward to use but a bit basic. It could do with more details on the accounts. Satisfactory but could be improved.
-- Louscannon3, 2024-12-13

### *---- "No confirmation on transfer"
No confirmation so sent payment twice. Also picking nickname took ages - kept saying already taken even when entered random combinations. Worst finance app I’ve used
-- Cmwhanizzy, 2024-12-07

### *---- "Rubbish"
Been with YBS years, had no problem, but this app is rubbish does not recognise my account number. Have to ring the branch every time I need to log in.
-- no statement, 2024-11-27

### *---- "App won’t open"
When I tried to access the app, it kept going to the login screen, prompting me to put my password in, and once I input this it would go back to the same prompt. I ran the update thinking it would solve the issue but now it doesn’t move past the “logging you in” page. This is so frustrating because I need access to my account and there are clearly issues with the app. Please fix this!
-- Sy1842, 2024-11-26

### ***** "Easy banking"
Online banking app very easy to use and very user friendly
-- Red and blue 52, 2024-11-22

### **--- "Poor banking app"
It looks like it has done an update and has lost all my login details. It is not letting me back in, not impressed :(
-- jwa2877, 2024-11-19

### *---- "Waiting"
Lots of issues over opening and depositing money into the ISA. Numerous trips and phone calls.
-- Salbabes, 2024-11-13

### ***** "Brilliant app"
Brilliant app
-- Dhilan tomo, 2024-11-11

### *---- "logs out all the time"
A real hassle to keep logging in every week or so….
-- R0fD0f, 2024-11-11

### *---- "Too slow"
I’ve been a YBS customer for nearly 30 yrs and honestly have never had any issues or problems whatsoever, recently though (past few years) I downloaded the app, when I send my son or any friends money it doesn’t appear in their account for at least a day, I just wish it was a bit faster-also my card recently expired and I found out they don’t have that service anymore either, I’m off work next week and I’ll be changing to the RBS as my family use this bank and they seem to have all the services I require.
-- Gee double Gee, 2024-11-10

### *---- "Not Set Up For Old People To Open New Account!"
Tried to open an isa account as a new customer. Can’t do it on phone. Had do apply online and then had their third party outsource company Mitek check security online, kept failing so now my application has expired and have to reapply again. I think not! Your system is not set up for old folks like us and it’s not user friendly at all! So you’ve just missed out £20k+ money that I was going to transfer from an old matured ISA elsewhere. The joke is on you!
-- Jaycee Koh LL, 2024-11-08

### *---- "Waste of time"
All attempts to set up &amp; log in have failed. No apparent reason. Very disappointing
-- Louise Mack, 2024-10-31
