More UK Bank Cards Now Show Account Balance in Apple Wallet

I have been thinking of moving over to them from NatWest, do you use them at all? Are they any good? Reliable and offer good service? I have a Chase bank account for savings as they offer 4% at the moment and do not lock your money into the account.

I have used Starling for my sole proprietorship business and I can highly recommend them.
The app works really well — which is why this lack of implementation is quite odd.
Also the ability to have clients pay me in £, € or USD is great. To open a foreign currency account with NatWest was a huge pain and came with fat fees…

Give them a go. 🙂

I only have £2.68 in my current account so I guess it's no huge loss but would be nice if BoS supported it.

No, I'm not poor lmao. I just dump all my money into savings and use my Credit Card for spending and pay the bill from savings. Gotta earn that interest while I can.

Yes I have both a personal and business account with them. Have been with them since early 2018 and have been overall very impressed. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem so I can’t comment on their customer service.

Bank of Scotland is actually owned by Natwest so you think it would be supported

I use starling for a joint account and a couple of business accounts and they been straightforward and very easy to set up compared to the traditional banks. Recommended.

Regarding this feature it would be good to see these balances on the Apple Pay screen - that’s where it would be useful to know if you don’t have enough money in an account.

Following the release of the feature, MacRumors discovered that code in iOS 17.1 and references on Apple's website suggested that the feature would expand to the US, which turned out to be accurate. For example, users of Discover cardswere first to see the option to view their total card balance and transaction history in Apple Wallet.

How do you turn this on? I don't see an option for it.

Also I have Live Voicemail on however I never see the function work when someone leaves a voicemail. My iPhone is running 17.1.1

Thanks guys, much appreciate the feedback. I will definitely look into them, it will take a bit of planning as my pay and bills are on the NatWest account, been with them for years but with no interest to speak off, and their recent controversy it’s time to move on.

You know Live Voicemail is US only?

That's Royal Bank of Scotland, which does support it.

Bank of Scotland is actually owned by Halifax...

...

so you think it would be supported.


[edit: technically, BOS actually owns Halifax]

I believe the Discover integration was pulled in the final release of 17.1.

Hope TSB get on board with this soon - they don’t (yet) offer notifications for incoming and outgoing transactions for things like direct debits etc whereas NatWest (who I switched from) did 🙂

TSB has been doing this for quite a while now see attachment.

Did you upload the wrong attachment? All three of those transactions are via apple pay, which isn't what the post you responded to was talking about at all...

Any idea why I can’t find the option to reconnect my Starling account? My First Direct card still works fine but under card details within the wallet app has no option to connect?

According to posts #2 & #5 Starling are working to resolve some issues.

Difficult with PoA (Power of Attorney) type situations, but I found a workaround to the 'open app to do security' thing, by simply doing one account, then delete/redownload app, then doing second account.
Stupid limitations that the designers of these bloody systems never take into account.
