What issues have people had with Kroo on here? I’m looking to go Full Kroo and have my salary paid in & pay my direct debits out of it.

Paging @Ryan1992.

I don’t know if anyone hasn’t had problems to be fair. Revoult (not a bank), Chase, starling or obvs Monzo would be much better choice.

Payday is the 19th. Keep your eyes peeled.

Other banks suck. Monzo won’t have me - Chases UI is clunky and Starlings merchant data wanky.

You are brave. Very, very brave to do it just before Christmas. Given Ryan’s experience, probably best not to bank on having access to your salary until sometime in 2024.

I’ve access to credit products, so wouldn’t be the end of the world. Long as I can get pissed w/ friends I’m good.

Also, winding up @andrew_fishy

If you’re paying the DD for these from Kroo, you might not.

Worth noting that many places are entering code freeze for Christmas so if Kroo needed a change to sort your account out, it ain’t happening until January.

As a general rule, it’s best not to change financial providers just before Christmas.

All that said, I’m one of those who’ve not (yet) had a problem with Kroo.

There’s now a iMessage app for android. Gonna try and persuade the android friends to give it a go. Apologies for digressing the Kroo

That’s it. Not sure why they don’t like it. If it means the few group chats can move from WhatsApp/Signal/Telegram I’m down

I’d be surprised if that stays in operation for long to be honest.

They fully reverse-engineered the protocol and rebuilt it so it’s essentially native iMessage.

I hear ya and hopefully more stuff like this might make Apple loosen up on the walled garden for iM. I doubt it though

I don’t like BM because it is £1.99 per month.

In terms of the Monzo WhatsApp invite above, is this something that has just kicked off, or has it been around as long as the 2 Slack groups?
