There’s a basic web app available, but you have to understand the the whole point of this service is banking by app.

Is this true? As far as I understood they were app only.

I would certainly be more interested if they did have a website. That's the thing that I don't get with these new fintech companies. Most of my banking involves sitting down and looking at a minimum of 2 windows I don't really get how an app only workflow would be tenable for me. I definitely don't understand app only share dealing. Am I expected to check my shares on the morning train? I've tried chip which is part of this fintech wave and is billed as a savings app for loose change, but doesn't pay interest, except via referrals, and the interface is a bot, except it isn't, its just an anthropomorphised menu that makes basic stuff hard, and it has gifs.

web.monzo.com - enter your email and they'll send you a login link. Not sure it'll cover everything you need but might be worth checking out.

This seems bizarrely restrictive. To not be able to use a computer or a device without the specific app seems somewhat foolhardy.
