There is no way to disable advertisements on the apps notifications without disabling them altogether. Now I deal with daily adds I can’t get rid of. All contactless payments with either card or Apple Pay are stuck as pending for days and then only registered on the day they are done processing; looking back at my spending and trying to figure out when a specific purchased was done is a nightmare as the date does not reflect when it was done in real time. A way to circumvent this is avoiding contactless and inserting my pin or using mbway but I want to go back to being able to use contactless payments. While I’m at it as a final issue , I’d love to see more fees on foreign currency purchases . As of today only through a monthly sub the fees are waivered and that’s for POS purchases only; for online ones only though their gold credit card which also costs a monthly fee. Other free alternatives like the nacional Moey! Or Klarna offer no currency exchange fees on their normal, standard and free debit card.

It’s possible to do almost everything with the app. It’s surprisingly good.

Not long ago, they added a hidden balance feature that makes every process with the app take 2 to 3 more clicks. They need to make it optional in the settings and I’m actually thinking about switching banks to another that has a function that’s more convenient. The main thing I want to see when I open my app is what my balance is and the fact that I have to go between my accounts and click see Balance again, and again is really really stupid.
