Joking aside about compensation I might actually move my DD over to Revolut (manually), fancy switching things up

So, just going to go out on a limb here and say, doesn’t that kinda make the whole point of partial switching completely pointless?

The main reason for doing a bank switch is so that they contact the merchants and get them to update their records or at least redirect payments that are made to the old account?

If a bank handles it correctly, then yes, the merchant should have been notified of a change.

I thought the only difference would be CASS making the new bank liable for issues of error, but both services should notify the merchant either way.

Before CASS, this is pretty much how it was handled and I did it a number of times without any problems. However, it is incumbent on the receiving bank to handle things properly.

Having just gone through several hours of fixing a vibe coded bash script I suspect Rev might have vibe coded the partial switch back end :rofl:

Vibe coding is so funny to me. It just means “I wrote this via LLM and I don’t understand it”.

Some people don’t care, as long as it “works”

Like the person who made the Tea app and then got hacked for literally every bit of information they had and probably didn’t understand the data flows involved.

Vibe coding is a security nightmare and a GDPR one too.

Oh yeah I agree it’s a disaster waiting to happen with anything that contains sensitive information.

That’s why works was in scare quotes :laughing:

Would you use Revolut as your main bank? I like it, unsure if I should transfer everything over.

As every day spending, investing, etc = yes.
As bill paying acc = no :thinking:

Is anyone using Revolut Mobile? I think they’ve got lower than expected signup. The 12,50£ offer has been extended to end of July. Originally was meant to be end of March.

That price is okay and if it were fixed and had visual voicemail + 5G standalone (or better roaming, their messaging pass isn’t really enough).

Might help if they rolled it out to everyone

Yes I moved over from Sky, and have been very happy with it. Downsides are the eSIM is only available on the device you signed up on, you can’t transfer the eSIM to another phone. Unlimited data (T&C FUP of 150gb) and can’t seem to see usage in app. Doubt I’ll ever hit 150gb a month but would be good to see my usage.

Ignore the FUP. It’s not enforceable, probably just a scare tactic. If they enforced it they’d have to sell it as 150G a month (not unlimited), to counteract the effect of a few users.

I saw you can seemingly get extra numbers from Revolut Mobile, odd that you can’t transfer it over to another phone. Would be a killer value deal if you could get unlimited data on 3-4 eSIMs at £12.50+2+2 a month.

It has Europe and US roaming? That’s better than most?

It is enforceable, at least on other networks especially where it is enforced at times.

Where did you read that

I exist in Asia a lot. EE and China Mobile offer Chinese roaming on some plans.

Enforceable if they want their ads to be taken down. I’d also complain to regulator. Unlimited can’t mean limited as long as you’re using it for the intended purposes.

The ASA won’t let them advertise unlimited if it isn’t unlimited. Enforcement can be something like usual network handling (for network health) but can’t be a flat FUP of 600GB being equivalent to a data off button.

I think that says that EE didnt mention that a FUP applies in the ad, thus upheld but the actual FUP is valid and could be enforced.

All Rev needs is to mention a FUP when joining and its then valid.
