Features each bank states
✓ means the bank's official sources (its website, help center or official app store listing) state it, with the quote and page shown. ✕ means those sources say the bank doesn't offer it. We never mark a feature ✕ just because a page doesn't mention it. Each mark links to the page it came from; the quotes are on each app's own page.
