About this app

Digital Banking made simple


Manage your savings with our secure mobile banking app, giving you quick, easy and safe access to your YBS savings accounts. You can view your balance and transactions and do many of the things you can with YBS online banking, whenever and wherever you need it.

How do I get started?


You’ll need to be registered for online banking and we need your up-to-date mobile number. Once you’ve downloaded the savings app, it takes just a couple of minutes to set yourself up and get started with mobile banking.
* Open the app and enter your YBS online banking login details (username or customer number), date of birth and three random characters from your online account password
* You’ll receive a text message or phone call from us with your verification code
* Enter this code into the app
* You’re registered. It couldn’t be easier
Next, we’ll ask you to set up either a biometric (facial recognition/ fingerprint) or six-digit passcode. And that’s it!

What are the benefits?


* Access – All your savings accounts in one view, just click on an account to see details of your transactions.
* Security – Set-up facial recognition/ fingerprint or a passcode for secure login.
* Transfers – Transfer money between your YBS savings accounts or to external accounts.
* Payments – Pay bills or settle up with your friends – all you need is their bank account details.
* Transaction history – View your transactions and deposits.
* Your profile – Check and update the personal details & contact info we hold for you
* Search and apply for a new savings account

I got "You need to update the YBS app to keep using it." so I did so. Same message. Followed the suggestion to uninstall and reinstall - this has worked. However it's a pain to do because it requires all the security to be set again. As for the app itself, it's a clean enough interface but I've not had to do very much in it so far (given that my one time wanting to didn't work and I've had to do what I needed a different way)

We're really sorry about this David - would you mind trying to delete and reinstall our app? This should hopefully allow you to continue. If not, please get in touch by emailing YBSSavingsApp@ybs.co.uk and we will look into this further for you. ~ Regards, YBS

For the last week I've rarely been able to access the app. keep getting "something went wrong" message. tried reinstalling but made no difference. when you can use it, the app is decent enough, though only have savings accounts, so I don't know if it shows a mortgage/loans

The mobile app redirects to the site when trying to open a new account. The site asks for another login which doesn't save chrome password data. The logins fail and text auth just spins. I finally successfully log into the site which then fails with an error every time I try to apply for the account. I call. They want my account. I provide two correct numbers which fail, and am put in a long queue. Eventually, I am told that the account can only be opened online, or by post and to wait for a fix
