We’re in the process of updating our app. To use the new app, Android users will need to be on Android OS 8 onwards. iPhone users need to be using iOS 13.5 and onwards, which can  be installed on iPhone 6S (including iPhone SE) or newer.

You can have the app on up to three mobile phone devices. If you reach the maximum limit you can call us on 0345 08 08 500.

Check:

1. Your phone has a signal and internet connection 
2. You’ve registered the correct mobile phone number with us - check this in your Online Banking and call us or come into a store if you need to change it
3. You’ve entered these details correctly:

• Your 12-digit customer number or username
• Your 8-digit security number and password
• Your 8-digit one-time passcode code which was sent to you by SMS.

4. If you didn’t receive the text, you can request a new one within your Metro Bank App. If this still doesn’t work call us on 0345 08 08 500 or pop into a store.

If you still can’t activate the app, come into a store or call us on 0345 08 08 500.

You can store as many receipts as you like in ‘My receipts’ on your Metro Bank app, and they do not have to be linked to a transaction.

Anyone with access to your Metro Bank business account will be able to see the receipts added to it.

We block emails from certain domains to avoid spam. Most receipts will not come from one of the blocked domains. You can forward emails from any email address (inducing blocked domains) if the original email is from a domain that isn’t blocked. If you have a valid receipt email from one of these domains you might need to take a picture of the receipt and add it to your receipts manually instead. These are some of the domains that are blocked:

• Yahoo.in
• Email.com
• Yahoo.com
• Mail.com
•  Live.com
•  Yahoo.co.in
• Me.com
• Yahoo.au
• Yahoo.co.uk
• msn.com
• inbox.com
• office365.com
• facebook.com
• googlemail.com
• Canada.ca
• Aol.com
• Yahoo.ie
• msn.ca
• icloud.com
•  yahoo.ca
• Hotmail.com
• Ymail.com
• Outlook.com
• Comcast.net
• Att.net

No, you can’t add a receipt to a transaction that’s not in your account yet. You will have to wait for the transaction to clear and appear in your account before you can add a receipt to it.

If you’ve captured a receipt in ‘My receipts’, ‘smart matching’ may add the receipt to the transaction once it’s cleared.
