I’m still waiting for them to allow toping up non-GBP wallets with debit cards …

Do you know if it’s possible to send/transfer USD directly from Zing USD subaccount to Revolut USD subaccount, for free, without having to convert to GBP and then back to USD (I am in UK) ?
No (at least not yet). The Zing USD account can only be topped up with GBP wallet transfers.
So vice versa is also impossible ? I have USD in Zing, am looking to top up my Revolut USD.
You can top up your Revolut USD with a Zing debit card for free. Work with Apple Pay top ups too. As the transaction is in USD, it will take the money from that wallet.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion, will try this.
EDIT: it works & is free (for small size) & the transfer is even instantaneous! Amazing.

Looks like Zing have improved their ‘refer a friend’ offer to £30. Maybe they’re struggling to get market share considering the well known alternatives (Wise, Revolut etc).
It’s only been around for 10 months but it’s still very barebones for what it could be.
I think they are still available only to UK residents?
Free debit card top ups is a big plus for me (although only to the GBP wallet). Revolut charges 2.2% for US/USD card top ups and Wise also charges for mostly everything.
Shame Curve now restricts adding non-EEA cards. Used to be very handy.
I’m sort of on the fence with this given HSBC essentially operate it as public version of their Global Money account. Probably a good part as to why they wrote off Monese too.

The free £500/month exchange is the only thing I use It for. Even that’s only useful for EUR though as that and GBP are the only currencies you can transfer out free.
I started signing up for Zing on my iPhone 15P, was out of the house at the time when I got to the ID check. But you cannot move past it by logging in from another device and trying to continue
So essentially I got blacklisted before I even signed up
Message says
“Please continue from the device this account was created on to continue”
Why don’t you carry on with the iPhone?
I find Zing exchange rate slightly better than Revolut and Wise (between EUR GBP and USD, have not tried others), inside the £500 free exchange allowance. Not sure how it compares above the allowance or on paid tier. I have free Revolut standard so a (free) Zing card is a good supplementary backup for extra free ATM and extra free exchange allowance (but the latter less useful as I can also use Chase UK DC which gives decent exchange once the 1% cashback is taken into account - I know cashback is capped of course)
I agree, FX rate is usually better on Zing in my testing as well.
While the difference is not that big, I’d rather have a free coffee somewhere 
Funny even with the £1.00 fee the rate would still be better
Finally, a reason to get Zing?
MSE:
newbies can get a £30 welcome bonus when signing up via our link and spending £5+ using the physical or virtual card before 21 November.

Oh for sure. I’ve got three confirmed referrals already. Get in quick before the money runs out.
Refer a friend up to 20 times - 30 quid a pop.
I was just coming to post this! Only noticed in my MSE email when I was looking for something else.
Account created. £10 added. £10 Apple Gift Card purchased with ApplePay. Easy!
Now to wait for the £30 and then I can spend that in the same way.
