Really poor chat experience today.
Trying to set up a payment with my car insurance and it keeps failing. The live chat response mentions credit card providers and literally closed the chat after sending the message…. No time to even respond back.

Yes. When invoked it ground my Compaq TC1000 Tablet PC’s Transmeta Crusoe processor to run and hide from real-time translation of Windows code. Boy, am I glad the early 2000’s came and went. And Clippy too. Gormless-looking ‘character’. Although every Karen in Accounts Payable probably liked it.
EDIT: That made me think and I found an image of my work setup in 2003 in the New York office I worked out of:
Technology may have changed but the setup hasn’t. Portable device docked to a screen, keyboard, mouse & speakers. And webcam (!) Plus added combo printer AND fax. Then we’re talking.
Thread derailed 
As you were…

That’s still my set-up now…
Clippy was insufferably cheerful and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble - only thing was he just would not shut up - unless you turned him off, which everyone did to stop themselves punching his lights out.

What’s the fixed rate for Zopa current account holders? I saw a notification for it asking me to sign up but now I can’t find it on the website.
2% according to the app.

Going to give the account a good test next payday - all DDs transferred over and will transfer in my salary.
As always, I’ll keep you all posted

I really am haha!
I must say though, setting up the DDs were a breeze so far though - all merchants accepted the details and they are showing in the app already - including the one that I had issues with the other day, that’s resolved already!
Compare that to Kroo where a good number weren’t recognised and they were zero help when I reached out for support.

I don’t think they’d let you. Isn’t the minimum twenty bob ?
Oh dear. Are you ready to change Kroo to Zopa on the complaint letters

First one to be when they bounce your salary as they don’t accept BACS.

Coming soon apparently. Like statements.
Coming very soon. I applied on Monday and the card arrived this morning.

Was yours in a fun cardboard construction?

Same reason that Monzo weighed in with bright orange i.e. to make it stand out.
Turned up in the usual cardboard packaging.

I like this design a lot.

The physical thing is better quality than the Monzo cards too.

Far better. I can see how it’s divisive but I was impressed how solid it felt.
