Competitor update

Here

Instead of clickbaiting perhaps you could summarise the article you are pointing to?

It’s a blog post comparing Revolut’s rates to N26’s & yes, it would help if there was a description for the link.

Clickbaiting wtf is clickbaiting. In the medical world we link to references
That wasn’t even a competitor update it was a piece of evidence, wow! I started off this evening being really pro monzo but after this treatment I’m not so sure…

It’s information about a competitor which is why I moved it here.

In the medical world, references carry an explanation and context.

The latest video from Iam Bank https://vimeo.com/221641436

Full of marketting speak but no real content

Their USP seems to be the claims to have an educational side and advise or help customers handle their money rather than just show where it was spent

Airport lounge access at ‘wholesale’ rates

(Knowing Revolut, ‘coming soon’ could mean 'coming in 2019 :thinking:)

“after this treatment”? we don’t represent their customer service/ app, it’s a shame but efficient updates and transaction info with great exchange rates are there whether you feel personally insulted or not :ok_hand:t3:

Interesting to see Zest trying to advertise on our community by posting a ‘survey’ on digital banking only to end up at a page suggesting you visit www.getzest.co

Couldn’t they be more honest and open and actually say Hi we are Zest Money and this is what we are planning :joy:

Not sure if they are an emoney firm or just planning a screen scraping account amalgamation tool. But they are not showing up on the FCA Register, and Companies House say the nature of their business is “Activities auxiliary to financial intermediation not elsewhere classified”

There are Zest banking firms in Australia and India so not sure if they connected in any way or just lacked due dilligence when picking their company name

Some better news for Atom this morning, they’ve been loaned £30m to lend to small businesses by the state owned British Business Bank.

Probably not a bad way to make money, if you can get it.
