I've never understood why (virtually) all banks make searching your transactions and statements online so difficult. Depending which account I use, I might be able to search on amount or I might have to separately download every statement as a PDF rather than view it on the screen.
Why on earth can't I view any of my transactions on the screen, do basic text searching on reference/payee/etc?
People here work in this sector so is it a question of compliance/data protection, or of extreme conservatism to make any changes, or something else? It's typically the sort of thing online services do so they can sell you the decent features on top, but I'm not aware that's the case.
Of course in something like FreeAgent you can search the imported feed entries, but that is just my business accounts. I have several personal accounts and they are varied in how they let me access the data, but uniformly bad at it.
For instance I want to check when I paid HMRC last year. Should take 2s.
