Monzo/Starling Banking/Revolut

Revolut use the same processor. I was in Germany back in April, I think it was and they went down. Couldn't use either Revolut or Monzo.

Could be worse. Look how many times Natwest customers are left with problems ;)
 
I have family in the UK that use Revolut and they really like the service. Nothing like that appears to have taken off in a big way over here, as far as I'm aware. Personally, I find that I am able to stick to a pretty tight budget without needing to limit my spending using a pre-pay card, and greatly appreciate the benefits that I get with my credit cards. However, I am sure that they're useful for many people, and believe that giving people more tools to control their spending is never a bad thing. :)

... Especially helpful with stupid 4 weekly pay.

The norm over here seems to be biweekly pay. I hate strongly dislike it. :(
 
Thinking of using something like this for my US road trip - only way I can think of to keep track of 3 weeks spend!

Revolut is mostly used as a travel card and a way to beat getting charged for foreign spending. Not to manage a budget. The soft banking that they do now is more of an after though. I don't think they have any intention on going for a banking licence and becoming a proper current account.
 
If anybody wants a queue jump invite to Starling Current Account send me a message in trust - preferably a long time forum user so 100+ posts.

I think I also have a Monzo golden ticket so again if anyone wants to join them pre current account message me.
 
I use Curve which from what I've seen of Monzo is better for me, namely it's not prepaid and saves me from carrying loads of different personal and business cards.
 
Yeah, i'm a big fan of curve as mentioned above.

Curve to spend money and then Money Dashboard to keep track of it all. Works superbly.

I have just sent one off and it seems to have worked. Are you sure you didn't invite someone before who did not use it?

You only get a new golden ticket once the one you sent has been used.
