The subtle logo animation has returned in the website, which is a nice touch, and the new logotype is more small-screen friendly, in line with the mobile-first approach. The new type has also appeared in the refreshed tv ads, I saw this morning.
Leaves the typeface on the debit card design as a bit of a orphan, but I like the debit card design so I hope they keep that.

Android app still remains with the old icon, although mine was last updated 24th September, so I’m hopeful a new version is imminent.

Very likely - in my experience Revolut are not doing well

I was originally signed up to 4 of the top 5 (never heard of snoop) and have now ditched 2 of those.
Currensea - although a good concept, the fees made them unviable. there are many many choices out there now with fee free overseas spending.
Curve - I honestly cannot see the benefit of Curve anymore.
Even their own advertising advises carrying a back up card just in case.
Surely that defeats the whole object of Curve 
I will however be keeping Starling and Revolut, as for me personally they do have value.

I have to keep my revolut account as they won’t let me close it, haha
Nothing invested in there, nothing in the open bank accounts, yet it says my account needs to be “Zero” to close the account itself

Interesting article in the Sunday Times; effectively Covid prevented Starling from having to return a £100m grant.

I’m always a bit dubious when they won’t release figures, did they have 100 and then run out or 5,000 it’s not really news worth reading without it
