Algbra discussion

Has anyone had any experience with this bank? Seem to promote ‘Ethical Finance’ but not too sure how they compare to the likes of Monzo/Starling etc.

Oh the irony of a challenger bank copying the card of a bank that’s trying to be challenger.

EDIT: This is the exact thing I can imagine FD saying:

Algbra: we are not a bank. We are a movement.

Looks quite nice on face value. I do think there’s a limit on how many “ethical banks that track your footprint” though, so I can’t see them lasting all that long

I did misread the thread title initially and nearly didn’t bother clicking in

I don’t think this app is pronounced al-guh-bra?

Algbra is a very weird name for an account.

I dunno, perhaps it’s a word play

Looks very Revolut ish by design, maybe a little more refined.

Also regulated the same way as Revolut, e-money licence, no FSCS.

Very Revolut in fact. Maybe they’re selling their platform as a service? Unless that’s just a standard app format.

I requested an invite via website but downloading the app I’m most part through the sign-up just need to do IDV.

Not sure if an invite still required, but will know more later today when I complete.

Home page and enter email.

Download the app and just sign up that way.

I will continue with the account opening stuff and let you know how far I get.

I had put my email into the website but hadn’t got any kind of invite. Just downloaded the app this morning and signed up, took about 5 minutes including getting ID verified.

Pink card on order.

I went blue. Just to be awkward. Both pink & blue are very nice colours.

No :android: app Dark Mode :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

The app certainly looks clean and polished to me. The main reservation I have with brand new banking startups is there’s only so many spending accounts I can have at any one time before I start using a different one each day of the week :joy: But one to keep an eye on.
