The subscription partners have just landed in Ireland, but not the corresponding price increase (yet)
My annual Metal sub is due in 2 days - wonder if I’ll get away with the lower price
Interesting set of offers. If you were paying for the FT that’s £35/month so everything else on metal is essentially free.
Don’t appear to be any exclusions for pre existing conditions on the travel insurance with the only condition being that you’re under 76. Or am I missing something here? That by itself would more than match the Nationwide equivalent if there aren’t any other exemptions.
You can now extend the amount of transactions you see in the Home Screen by long pressing a transaction, and tap recent transactions to choose a number.
You get benefits simply because of the Infinite/WE label. For instance, WE let me get Hertz Gold which in turn gets 15% discount, 10000km included (3000 normally), 25c/km over that (45c usually) and all told saved me almost £1000 on the rental. Revolut and Curve throw in CDW which saved another £300 but that WE label all by itself saved £1000.
You also get similar benefits on hotels and likely some other things (e.g. https://www.priceless.com and Visa’s equivalent).
I earned £8.66 in Cashback during my first month(?) with Revolut. Took me a minute to spot that each cashback transaction was limited to £2.00 but free money is free money so can’t complain.
I found it quite difficult to find the cashback part of the app, also it stated it would pay out on the 17th of this month but it actually arrived just after the clock ticked over to the 18th.
Also, even though I don’t need the physical card I’d actually quite like one but I’m not gonna pay £4.99. Liberty takers!
The CEO is Russian, whom also removed their Russian status following the invasion on Ukraine. The other exec is Ukrainian.
Not yet a bank, no, but probably more UK customers than Starling, both personal and business.
They had over 4 mil UK customers some time ago, which I imagine has increased quite some since then, alongside 30+ million across the globe, UK being its biggest customer base (from previous reports, maybe changed now).
Their licence probably isn’t far off, their product is very much bank like.
The only thing that doesn’t make it a bank is FSCS protection (whereby Savings are FSCS in the app), and maybe lending out customers money (they could lend out their own but don’t want to).
