We know some of our customers are having issues logging onto Internet and Mobile Banking at the moment. We're sorry for this and we're ...
We've been doing a little survey on TECH - eg internet banking, Google, Facebook, Gab, phones etc.
I have surveyed UK people of various ages
My impression is that internet banking is a nightmare for most people.
