Why we recommend this
1. Enhanced security
Updates often include important security patches that protect your device and account from new threats. By keeping auto updates turned on, you ensure your app always has the latest protection.
2. Better performance and reliability
Updates often fix bugs, improve speed, and resolve issues that may affect how the app works. With automatic updates enabled, you get smoother, more reliable performance.
3. Access to new features
Bank of Ireland regularly releases new tools and features to make managing your money easier. When you’ve enabled auto updates, you get these improvements as soon as they’re available.
