Monzo in the Media šŸ“°

This is pretty good from Monzo, especially considering that they’re not running any switching offers.

I think the publicity behind Double Payday and Billsback has helped, will be interesting to see if they retain the customers. I’m super-impressed by Nationwide though, blowing everyone else out of the water.

Their onboarding rate is probably due to the Fairer Shares payment.

It will be interesting to see how many Lloyds has gained after the £250 switch reward and £50 refer a friend.

I mean it’s an excellent model and a building society differentiator. Why take a Ā£200 switch when you can get Ā£100 annually?

(I’ll save my reflections on why it could be seen as a regressive measure, distributing from poor to rich another time).

I think the Chase burner accounts played a huge role in these numbers.

Been waiting for this for years so that I join.

Coincidentally, the day we find out that Santander lost 20,000 customers is the same day they tell me that my £0 balance Easy Saver Account interest rate is going down.

They also have a £175 switching offer on their site.

Not just a switch offer at Nationwide, it’s also a come back offer, and the way Fairer Share is set up now, you need to be using the account, so probably dragging people back

Just reading last years terms.

I have a current account and saver account.

Simplified, add £500 in to current account, withdraw x2 from current account in any two months Jan, Feb or March.

In March, add £500, withraw £200 x2, add £100 to saver, and then leave overnight.

Guess if it’s the same this year I’d be eligible with the above in mind?

Revolut is still a bank, maybe not a full bank as that would be intrinsic on them getting granted their full license but it is technically still a bank with its partial license on technicalities :grinning_face:

It’s not providing licensed bank accounts to the masses, though. So still not a bank in the practical sense of the word.

But does the legislation regarding AFP fraud apply to Revolut?

EMI are still part of APP rules. It’s a regulatory condition, not an FSCS condition.

The sole difference between Revolut and a fully authorised entity.

Not surprised with the increased competition around.

Seen these on the forecourt today, never seen them before.
