How’s the Revolut turning into a Bank going ?
Will one day we will just get an App update and it’s done ?

Would we even need an app update? It’s already a bank as far as I’m concerned. What would change outwardly?

That’s pretty much what happened in Ireland.
Actually not even an app update.
Got a ‘Welcome to Revolut Bank’ email one morning and that was that, then a couple weeks later notifications that loans were available, then credit cards etc…

I carry a debit card but I think it’s more out of habit in case Apple Pay doesn’t work. NatWest lets you withdraw from their ATMs using a code from the mobile app, so could definitely go fully contactless now I recon.

I only ever use physical cards, unless my hands are busy or I’ve forgotten the wallet and have Apple Pay.
Much prefer this over Apple Pay any day of the week

I used to be cards, then for a while went all in on Apple Pay but when I went FD I started back on using the card as I liked the design, continued with HSBC and here we are now with Lloyds.
I can’t explain it but I prefer the idea of getting the wallet and card out.
PS since I’m a leftie it always goes in my right pocket

I paid around £60 for a genuine Apple MagSafe Wallet. It was destroyed within a few months of being on the back of my phone.
Picked up a £3 replacement at the MBK Center in Bangkok, looks identical, and ironically has lasted much longer.

I only use Google Pay. I’ve only been stung once when a beta android version broke it.
I’ve got NatWest but I’ve never needed to use the emergency cash feature.
Speaking of which lol
Sorry to derail from Revolut

Does anyone have their salary paid into Revolut, does it show as a incoming payment a few days before and how early can you claim BACS payments?

It doesn’t show up in advance, just arrives automatically around 5pm the working day before it’s due.
You don’t have to action anything, it just drops into your account.

You can auto sort it once it arrives too (you’d need at least one salary payment in first before you do it) and allocate it to Pockets, Savings, possibly other things too.
Wish it would also do transfers to other accounts ie to my HSBC on arrival, I’d have to work out the next calendar day each month and adapt it monthly to send money to HSBC.
I will eventually move everything into Revolut once they start credit reporting.
