Hi Evan,
Sorry for the delay! Unfortunately, I’m still trying to get more clarity on this for you - the law on immigration checks is changing slightly at the start of next year so it has taken a little while longer than I thought. We are still discussing our standpoint on this at the moment, but I should have an answer for you by next week.
Glad you for the answer you needed too 
Wasn’t sure if your statement about the card being used the same way was directed at me or not. I also have no issue with the converting, only issue would be if I was out the country for a prolonged period of time and had no say in the matter with a chunk of money in my pre paid card. As soon as this trip is complete and I return I’ll be converting.
Anyway, glad we got our question answered.
Will it be possible to get a current account without transfering balance and data? I would much prefer a fresh start than a continuation.
Doesn’t look like that’s going to happen, but if you refused a current account when offered and sign up for a current account under a different email address it may be possible 
Remember, also, that the account is tied to a mobile number, @BobT
If you have a preview current account, I think I can close my prepaid 
before the merge occurs
Hi I have had a prepaid card since January and applied to be an investor but wasn’t chosen, when can I expect an invitation to get a current account? Happy to wait, but concerned that my prepaid card might be coming to end of life and I have no replacement - thanks in advance for the update
You’ll be offered the current account long before your prepay card is withdrawn… don’t worry!
When the full CA is released, investors will get first dibs, then (shortly after) those who were turned down will be next.
Do you know when it will be released? I thought it would have been already
Thanks for the update
