Soon we’ll be updating our apps

What’s changing?

Apple has stopped supporting some older versions of iOS software, so we need to update our Mobile Banking app.

This means your device  might not work with our app soon. iOS 14 will be the new minimum version you’ll need to be able to use our app.

Why is this happening?

Apple often releases iOS software version updates. They do this to fix issues, improve security and add new features. This means they stop sending updates for older versions, which makes those less secure.

We can only run our apps on the latest, most secure versions of iOS software. This helps us keep our apps secure for you and your money.
