They’ve done a good job hyping it, I want to download it to see how bad it is.

But not with those fees

I’m still astounded at those fees :joy::joy:

Why would anybody pay them

Just looking at the ltd company behind it, two directors who have both registered a handful of names, viola pay, v-wallet etc etc…

Last year was the year of colour Hot Coral, this year the sweet melody of a viola… :slight_smile:

Crikey, that postcode + google maps imagery does make it look like some chaps house rather than a proper office…

Also I spotted a few typos and loads of bad css styling on their websites… it all feel a bit scammy (or at least lacking QC) so i am surprised they are investing so much in advertising… all so prematurely…

The ownership gets more dodgy it all comes back to an equity firm.

I just googled ā€œViola Black appā€ and this thread is now the top result.

I also don’t think Monzo has anything to worry about looking at Google Trends

Know this has been touched on but these limits genuinely confuse me, which one is it?

Maximum load per day is £2,500 and maximum
loads in a month is three. Huh? You can’t reach the maximum load in a month of Ā£30,000. Nor can you reach maximum loads in a year of 50.

Please don’t give your money to someone who can’t do basic maths :rofl:

And only 50 transactions on the virtual card.

Honestly I see absolute no reason to go with them. They look shifty, fees are high, App is bad.

Why would anyone go with them? So many better options…

I think the current reason one or two are trying is the sadomasochistic how bad can they be :joy::rofl:

I thought it can’t possibly be as bad as it sounds but after the sign up process I think it might be

Don’t see a problem with the name, at least in portuguese. ā€œViolaā€ is a musical instrument, same as in English, and that’s what anyone would associate it with. There’s no reason why anyone would take the other meaning of the word, as you suggest
