I tried for my first name but had to go with my full name instead. Shame.
Huge if true.
Congrats to Rev - but I do worry that this might be a bit of a fintech bubbleā¦

Just let the venture capitalists pay over the odds, surely?
Revolut will float and the market will correct cf. Deliveroo.
That works for individual companies, but the bubble phenomenon is when you have a whole class or category of company thatās affected.
I hope this all turns out to be hypothetical, but if Rev ends up listing / floating for Ā£100bn which is then totally unsustainable and causes the market to react / bubble to burst for fintech generally, it could take screw up the Starlings, Monzos, (Transfer)Wises of this world. Especially if theyāre preprofitability.

Today I setup a new Revolut account
The whole account was online and verified in under 20 minutes but one weird thing I noticed that I didnāt have a UK account number and sorted.
I sent them a message about an hour ago and they answered within 2 minutes. The person on the chat took my details and then pointed out that I had previously had an account which might be causing the issue. She came back to me 30 minutes later and asked me to reinstall the app. Voila! the local account details appeared.
I am absolutely astounded by the speed and the quality of the response

Iāve finally caved and signed up. After several (easy) verification steps, I got my preferred name and also a sort code & account number. Dark mode too 
The app seems a bit disjointed, but Iām not familiar with it at all yet. Letās see!

I feel they have too many features and it can all seem a bit cluttered. Something Iāve just discovered this week though is that you can turn off tabs for features you donāt want to use.
Iāve got the home screen now just set to accounts and cards, the rest all in that hub thing because Iām not really interested in share or crypto dealing

I went looking for the option to hide the tabs I donāt use (Iām in a similar situation where I really donāt plan on using anything beyond accounts and cards) and I donāt see any. Iām kind of surprised this isnāt available to US users like myself, since itās a UI thing and wouldnāt require any regulatory approvals.
Yep, this did the trick. Thanks! Not the most intuitive approach, though.
Thatās a bit of a game changer, i had no idea you could do that, if only you could get rid of al the other crap that bloats the accounts tab and it might be usable

It seems you can 
If you tap and hold, the tab headers āwobbleā and they also have a ā-ā sign at the top-right. Carefully tap on that and itāll disappear. A pop-up informs the area will still be available in the hub.
EDIT: You can do the same in reverse too, select an item from the hub, tap on the three dots at the top right and tap on ā+ Pin to Homeā and itāll then show in Accounts.
Certainly not intuitive, but very flexible.

I canāt on iOS, I can do that for the top level tabs but not for the sub headings per tab

Does this mean other apps also have iOS/Android parity issues? Well I never.
Unless itās a terminology thing. Do you mean the stuff that is actually in the Accounts tab?
(Iām referencing the tap & hold to reorder/delete the tab headings next to the āAccountsā tab but not anything within/below the accounts tab)
Bear in mind, Iām very new to Revolut

Whilst I have had an account for a while, I never use it because Monzo is enough for me and the Revolut app has just too much going on, so having said that Iād class myself as new too 
Yes, things like To Do, Suggested For You and Rewards etc
I know you can clear the To Do and suggested by clicking the crosses however the next day theyāll be back again

For those of you whoāve taken the plunge but havenāt ordered a card if you wait a week or two Revolut will often offer to waive the delivery fee in my experience

Iāve given in trying to get an account tried again yesterday. It never verifies my ID correctly, the same ID Iāve used for every other bank that ever needs it scanning in 
It wouldnāt accept my driving licence, I had to use a passport
Was it a provisional if I can ask?
Canāt try that option, itās been out of date for years
