Read with interest about the latest startup (also using wirecard) who has just raised a cool $40million. http://tcrn.ch/28Nez6B
Some of their features sound really interesting and would be good to see mondo looking at as well including only getting push notifications over a certain amount if you want and the ability to only freeze your card for online transactions, ATMs, foreign transactions etc
Not that new, I’ve had a number26 card for a while now
Great if you need to deal in Euros.
Their debit card is way cool - it is transparent so you can see the contactless antenna and chip 
Ah cool! Very surprised this is the first I’m hearing of it!
I’m very interested in them. Is there any timeline for their availability for UK residents?
NUMBER26 gets a lot of respect around here, particularly for their ‘bank as a marketplace’ approach. At the moment they are only available in Austria, France, Greece, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Slovakia. Not sure if a UK launch date has been announced.
I know in Spain they are not accepting new customers and haven’t been for 3 or 4 months. Not sure about the other countries. Definitely one to watch 
Straight from the horse’s mouth… (cc:@anon4562461:wink:)
“Hey, thanks for your interest! Unfortunately, no concrete plans about a UK launch yet, sorry.”
Looks like it might be sooner rather than later, Number 26 has been given a full licence by ECB and Bafin and is allowed to launch its app in the UK: https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/21/number26-is-now-a-true-bank-as-it-now-has-a-full-banking-license/
