Guessing there will be a few people who request Skipton, Newcastle Building Society and Nottingham Building Society as these are the only three building societies currently offering LISAs

64

Never heard of these two. :open_mouth:

65

Newcastle is the biggest one in the North East if England, really concentrates on their ā€œhomelandā€ has some great products and puts a lot back into the local community. Itā€™s great place to work as well :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I think thereā€™s a risk here that, because dummy accounts are a paid Pro feature, thereā€™s more of a push for integrations in general.

Whereas a LISA might be just fine as a dummy account.

I really donā€™t see all the building societies getting on board any time soon anyway.

I closed an account with Leeds Building Society last month and the options were:

  1. a cheque in the post
  2. complete and post a form for an electronic transfer

:joy:

John Lewis Partnership Credit Card

Marcus would be good but I know Goldman Sachs play their cards close to their chest, and especially now with them backing the Apple Card they may not want to share anything.

Few challenger savings banks would be good
Ford Money
RCI
Charter Savings Bank
Aldermore
Paragon Bank

What is this? :roll_eyes:

72

Theyā€™re all classed as challenger banks but theyā€™re all savings accounts only, not current accounts and online only, no physical branches.

If you ever look at the best buy tables a few of them are normally there for ISAs and Fixed Rate products

Thatā€™s the master post updated with latest suggestions.

Could I ask any Emma staff to update the status of each back (where necessary) - thanks!

75

You can edit my post. :wink:

76

Yeah, but I donā€™t know the exact background/progress with each bank. Iā€™ll try and stay on top of it, but you guys are obviously ā€˜in the loopā€™.

+1 for Sainsburyā€™s bank.

Also, although I donā€™t currently have accounts with them perhaps Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank should be considered for addition to the list. They have near market leading 0% credit cards (in terms of length of 0% period) which I may consider when the 0% period on my current 0% card comes to an end.

Just to clarify.

Does Emma need to go through Saltedge/TrueLayer to gather data, or can you scrape data manually from banks?

If itā€™s the former, then youā€™ve pretty much hit your maximum integrations (unless the situation changes with each bank?).

79

We can do whatever we want.

We use them to be faster and donā€™t have any short term plans to build our own scrapers. :slight_smile:

80

So, for example, you could integrate any from the request list in the opening post right now?

81

If we go there, build the right infrastructure to hold credentials (which we donā€™t know) and then start implementing scrapers, yes; but we are more than happy to outsource this bit to providers whose only job is doing this. :slight_smile:

If there is demand for things, we can even pay the providers to build the missing ones.

Would it be worth tracking the ā€˜most wantedā€™ integration and having some form of poll every month?

The integration with the highest votes is then put out to an external party to complete.

This means that you keep users happy with regular integrations, and will not spend copious amounts on integrations that would hardly be used.

If you think thatā€™s a plan, then I could tweak the opening post to get the ball rolling for Aprilā€™s vote?

83

I think the discussion is enough. We already know all the numbers regarding the integrations. :wink:
