Dunno if anyone has noticed, but the Revolut website has had a slight re-design.

Firstly, the front page has new images and everything, as well as the line " The app 10 million people in the United Kingdom use" which other countries had, but not the UK (until now)

They’ve also got rid of the card carousel thing on the “plans” page, and instead now just show one card from each plan.

The names of their products have also been “normalised” a bit more

I know this is probably me massively overthinking (like usual), but could this be in preparation of them getting ready to launch as a full UK bank? At the very least, they’ve had a refresh :+1:

You seem to be. Never know, they may become a full UK bank by the time your 18.

What took you to check or notice?

Or do you just scroll websites looking for change? :sweat_smile:

They were granted the licence back in July, and mobilisation usually takes around 12 months but could take longer, depending on how much needs to be aligned to the regulators requirements.

Can imagine the list is pretty big.

Do we think it could perhaps take longer in Revolut’s case considering they have such a fleshed out offering already, with a plethora of different products?

I have no idea how this process works but I remember when Monzo were going through it they were still very basic.

I’m not too familiar, didn’t realise it was a thing until Revolut mentioned it.

There is a lot of complexity on the outside but I’d think they’d have organised that long time ago internally ready for this process.

Would crypto need to be ringfenced from deposits?

I was researching for my EPQ when I noticed that it looked different from the last time I was on their website

Nah we aren’t gonna have another monzo telephone number incident again :joy:

What’s EPQ?

Extended Project Qualification - it’s basically a 5,000 word essay, plus a 15 minute presentation on whatever the f you want, and it’s worth half an A-Level and apparently looks good :man_shrugging:

It’s really not that interesting in the slightest :joy:

It’s to do with neobanks and fintech in general. Revolut is mentioned in it. When it’s done I might post a link to the essay somewhere.

As long as you don’t end up tripping yourself up with plagiarism checking :slight_smile: only post it publicly once it’s been marked and behind you.

Yes, you can plagiarise yourself

It can’t be longer than 12 months. It has to be completed within 12 months. So if they don’t do it within the 12 months then they have to reapply I think.

I wonder how many times the lack of Starling interest for kids is mentioned :wink: :+1:

It’s actually not mentioned at all, and it won’t be, because it’s not relevant in the slightest to my topic.

Although not having interest on their kids account now makes them extremely unappealing when compared to Monzo.

This is a Revolut thread though, so we must get back on track before someone comes and flags everything :golf:
