So I just checked. Vodafone retains the right under Ofcom rules to prioritise its own customers over wholesale MVNO customers during busy periods at particular cells. So the risk seems real - I just don’t know what the practical impact is for an average customer. The Revolut deal is good value if your usage fits, as mine does. I just don’t want to be deprioritised for data when sitting at a busy train station….
Would you know that it happened? I’m with Vodafone and I’ve had times where I’m somewhere busy and despite a strong 5G signal, the data feed can still be patchy and slow.
I suspect all mobile companies have prioritised traffic, even those who purchase directly from the carrier.

Other than being upside down 
that black card is really nice.

I guess not. But it would be good to know what the policy was for prioritisation.

I did ask on ISP but nobody responded.
No mvno would want it released as it would cost potential sales sadly but I would expect the less you pay the less priority you will get to a point.
It’s never aired in the open, android apps can show the priority on the network, rated in numbers. I don’t know too much about it, and can’t imagine it’ll be before their own networks, possibly on par with lebara.
Never had an issue historically with lebara though.

Recently, Revolut has begun issuing physical cards in Mexico. As more countries issue Revolut cards, we may see a variety of designs, just like HSBC.
HSBC need the lion cards back.

In my personal opinion, HSBC Titanium Card in Mexico is better than Amex Centurion from the perspective of rarity.
Now that’s a nice looking debit card

For a minute I thought that was a single transaction of £88k. Was thinking you really have trust in Revolut

Seen on LinkedIn this morning. I know this is something Monzo do already, and is a great idea.
Does the warning on Monzo pop up when on a call?
Because I see it’s quite buried and hard to find, particularly if under a stressful situation on a call with a potential scammer. Being buried there may be a number of people who don’t even know the feature exists at all

Monzo does display it on the Home Screen if you’re in a call when you open the app. Otherwise it’s in the settings.

Tbh all banks need to copy monzo and have this feature, I think starling might do it as well.

Not sure I see the point in that 
If someone else had access to my account, I still wouldn’t know as when I logged in that would update to show my login

It shows the last previous login - not your current one.
So, I’ve just logged in, and it shows, for me, last login 10.43am 14th January - which is when I did login this morning (not 17.06 14th January which is the time now).
If you login frequently (ie - multiple times a day) then yep it’s usefulness is going to be limited unless you can recall every single time, but if you only login weekly then maybe you’ll notice a time it says you logged in when you know you personally didn’t and so maybe you need to double-check security etc.
