New bank (pre-pay card) has launched called PRIDE PAY (it’s now in Apple and android store as Pride Pay Lite). You can download the app and register/sign up but I think it’s still at its very early stages. Don’t fully know the costings yet etc as I think they will be setting a pay scale for the account. It’s been advertised with teasers for so long I almost forgot about it till now I received an email to finally download the app. It’s meant to be a LGBTQ Account with all things 
related. Just thought I’d put it out there if anyone is interested. Think for the first 1000 people you get a years free benefits. I’m number 028

Why would Pride Pay require someone’s gender?

It’s not clear what it offers its target demographic over other prepayment cards (other than a feel-good factor - fine if that’s important to you). The website talks about an inclusive atmosphere and says that it’s built with love. It also has poor grammar and spelling, which makes it look rather unprofessional (to me, at least).
I’m not the target demographic but, even if I was, I’m not sure that I’d like to give such personal information to a company whose privacy policy appears to let them share it with whomever they want.

Yeah I’ve cancelled the sign up or wait list or whatever they’re calling it. I joined and was on the waitlist and received the email about the app now up and running. Turns out no cards or account set ups are running yet so looks like another long wait. I’ve deleted the account/sign up as it’s just very strange everything is on a wait list and being drip fed to people. I don’t think they will even offer a free account anyway - sure I saw something about it charging for the basic account, then bigger fees for different perks.
So im doing a Deborah Meaden, I won’t be investing and I’m out.
