Does anyone know if you can save / set aside money with the Revolution Pro account?

Pro is just a side account for your personal account, so any savings to be stored will be via your personal account, being sole trader/freelancer id guess that’s the general way anyway.

Business accounts possible have their own savings but I don’t have a business account.

Not so cool fact, you can’t close your pro account once you open it too.

So, as you say, click bait false advertising, by the looks of it :man_shrugging:

Hmm dodgy. So their new UK banking licence (which is being overseen) isn’t playing by the rules . I don’t trust Revolute at all.

What’s dodgy about an error in the app?

I’ve seen this a few times, never been a bitch about it.

Says X rate but I can’t find it? Oh well, must be broken.

Anyway, back to my usual day.

They don’t do too bad now with card processing.

It’s only those poor educated airlines drip fed incorrect information.

Revolut probably have the balls to go have it out with them.

Revolut is a bank as far as I’m concerned. No license, aye… But they do bank stuff.

It’s pretty frustrating even now when you see people talking about ‘putting money on their Monzo card’.

Been in Ireland for a day or two and it’s covered in Revolut ads to pay your salary in

They aren’t even trying to get customers as pretty much everyone already has a Revolut account, just trying to get you to “free the salary from old banks”

In all the major train stations, bus stops, billboards etc

Even out in the village I live in, the bus stops have that same poster ad.
TV is being absolutely hammered with Revolut adverts across the board

It’s about time Revolut released a new card design. Could do with a funky new design to fill our card design conversations :smiley::heart_eyes:

I suppose in Ireland they are what Monzo are basically trying to do in the UK - go from a spending account to a main account.

Banking in Ireland isn’t free. There’s a fee for everything. Revolut is a break from that and that’s why it’s popular.

My Revolut Euros account has been used a lot more than any other currency only because people in the South. Up in the North it’s definitely a lot less popular but still quite a few people use it if they have friends/family across the border.

I think this is it exactly.
Every man and his dog use Revolut here, for example there’s 9 in my office and we all use it for bill splits / instant payments as there is nothing else that can do that in ROI.

A few of us use it for ‘full’ banking.
What a lot of people tend to do, is get paid into their legacy bank accounts and promptly transfer everything to Revolut to avoid day to day transaction fees.
When you ask people why they wouldn’t just get paid directly into Revolut, the response commonly is that they just didn’t know you could do that, they thought it was just a ‘top-up’ card.

And I guess that is exactly what this ad campaign is trying to target.
I mean, why pay account maintenance and transaction fees for an account that you use solely to move your salary through.

Although some still want the reassurance I guess of a branch. And that’s fine, while banks are closing here it’s not as bad as the UK yet, but I’d think that’s only a matter of time too…

I mentioned a while back about this change to account balances being included in notifications rather than ‘spent today’.

Just noticed that it looks like Revolut have reverted this, my notifications have gone back to ‘spent today’ and balances are not included in notifications anymore.

I assume they must have received complaints about it (I wasn’t one of them) :thinking:

Can’t remember if there has been discussions about this one already but when Revolut convert accounts from the e-money accounts to current accounts, will there be a change of account/sort code and further credit checks made etc?
