Banking Apps New Phone

Mostly you can log in on the new phone, but some apps tie to the hardware and it acts as a digital key, First Direct do this. With them (or at least you used to) you have to unregister the old phone prior to registering a new device.

I recently moved phones and didn't have much of an issue regaining all access.

Ah so it might be different for different apps. I think banking apps are the worst for it though if I remember right.

Yup, they are. I use the following and don't recall too much of an issue with any of them beyond some security questions, a selfie for Starling etc.

  • Nationwide
  • Chase
  • Revolut
  • Wise
  • Monzo
  • Starling
  • American Express
  • Barclaycard
 
Barclays was always a pain in the arse but Monzo was easy, just install the app, it sends an email to your registered address with a link that you follow and that's it, job done.

from a security point of view imaging someone getting access to your email address, unless it also uses phoneID pairing or something and will require to re-auth you of a change of device.
