I put a comment on but no sign of it yet!
This is a great point! Although one I never understood why, other than the name of the product.
I drunkenly searched the app in the early hours of New Yearās Day after seeing the ad in the tube, and I remember thinking maybe Iām too drunk to function as I couldnāt find anything. I forgot about all this until I found this thread today ā Iām thoroughly entertained so far!

Their response has the line āRest assured, however, that any revenue will be reinvested into our products, creating a more enjoyable user experience.ā so they stating that any and all revenue will be reinvested into the company and not paid to directors / shareholders etc?
I feel like this isnāt going to be the case.

Who on earth is running this company?
Who ever wrote that article definitely has in bee in their bonnet.
I agree with the majority here when I say it looks like a bad product due to fees etc. Iām not sure how charging someone for a pre-paid card is supposed to help them with their finances

I reckon the fees will defo be going back in to the company I mean how much does it cost to get your name on a stadium or on them bikes an taxis etcā¦

Definitely not cheap, but not as much as you might think.
The stadium is the biggie. I mean, itās not the Millennium Stadium, but itās still a great route to achieving household brand recognition. No doubt a figure will come out in due course.
The other advertising is par for the course really.

To be fair, Viola corporate and viola black are two different products no?

No idea, Iām assuming they work for them. Most recent posts from that feed relates to the group
The thing is, if you avoid what are clearly comical fees, the actual service/product might be great to use (no idea, not going to try, and purely speculating).
Iād happily use a credit card that had the best app, customer service, and loads of features - Even if the APR was 400,000% - Why? Because Iād never pay a penny as Iād avoid the fees.
It stands to reason that Viola will already have a few core supports from using their other products, especially if their customer numbers are to be believed.
The whole thing is ridiculously bizarre, but perhaps the actual product is decentā¦ (scraping the barrel for positivesā¦).
