Not being hostile at all with this one - just an observation - but if I click/tap on your avatar, I get nothing. A quick flash of the Profile card, with no data and - gone. For users who have profiles, I can see their profile card details. For users who wish to remain more anonymous, I get the ‘This users profile is hidden’ message on the profile card.
It appears to be a very strange action - like the database of users doesn’t know your account exists or is active.
Even stranger, in a forum user/period-search, clicking/tapping on your avatar does result in a ‘This user’s public profile is hidden’ Profile card.
That’s probably just a bug in Discourse more than anything.
With one user? Call me sceptical but there’s something weird with that account (Discourse or otherwise)
Yours, Sceptical.
PS> Tapping on many other user avatars to see if any others show the same result - none yet!
Does the exact same thing with my profile now I’ve set it to private. Discourse just doesn’t handle the private profile well in the tooltips. No conspiracy or broken accounts here.
Anyway, can probably get back on topic of Revolut instead of derailing further.
Fairy nuff
Thx for confirming.
dude c’mon
Didn’t mean good by hiding stuff, was referring to the goal, not deceit.
I don’t have any distaste for Revolut at all, and I’m not spewing anything.
The papers are reporting bad things that are happening at Revolut, but you’re a psycophant who’d rather believe they’re making it all up 
Everything with a pinch of salt.
I find journalism, certainly some brands, blow everything out of proportion.
Sychophant isn’t really true, as there’s no gain, and don’t particularly command any following.
Don’t think it’s unrealistic to think outside the box and not live to what the papers tell us.
I think it’s always going to be a fairly subjective opinion on whether Revolut are going to get a licence, are a great EMI, or none of the above. Because we can only go off what we know externally.
Which, I think, is a large part of the problem here.
Received this email
If you haven’t heard already, we’ve got some great news: your account is now eligible to receive domestic wire transfers through your US local account.
It’s cheap, too – there’s a flat fee of just GBP8 applied to every transfer, covered by the recipient.
To access your wire routing information, simply navigate to your USD wallet’s account details:
Go to the ‘Home’ menu
Tap on your total balance and select your USD wallet
Tap the three dots ‘…’ button to open the overflow menu
Select ‘Details’, then find ‘Wire routing number’ in the account overview
Is there any clarity on how this works? Usually with USD there’s a fee for the transfer, then another fee to convert to GBP.
If the 8 USD covers both, then yes this is competitive.
If you’re paying 8 USD just to receive the money and then have a USD balance you need to convert, it’s not competitive.
I think it means USD transfers to your US virtual account details, so no conversion needed by sender or recipient, Revolut then charge you the recipient £8 per wire transfer.
There could be a charge to the sender based on their bank I suppose but Revolut take £8 off you as their customer on inbound payment.
Add money by bank transfer to a local account (outside your home country)
- USA local accounts via Fedwire (wire transfer): £8
It clearly states it charges you, the recipient:
Happy cake day.
And yes, not sure how I can mix up the two, thinking one and typing another. FML.
Roll on my 4 days off 
Pay in €1,600 and make 3 debit card transactions a month to get free Revolut Premium.
Doesn’t seem a bad deal considering it includes travel insurances and purchase cover etc.
Is this a common thing with Europe banks? In the UK we either need to be Premier banking or pay a fee for perks (unless there’s a bank to get a free packaged account for little effort).
Why, out of interest? Think they’re not justified?
