I also got a notification today that 'Revolut Junior' is now available. A kids account, seems fairly straight forward to set up on the app.

Revolut now have signed up 1 million users in Ireland.

That's a phenomenal speed of growth.

It's very impressive alright.

I think that they were likely to have grown their customer base in Ireland regardless, but can't help wondering if their growth has been radically enhanced by the impact of coronavirus.

I'd imagine that very few of the million use it as their main bank account but it is incredibly useful for making purchases in Sterling and other non-Euro currencies. Brilliant exchange rates and no fees. What's not to like?

Shocking how slow BoI and AIB are to modernise their apps to rival Revolut

They have legacy systems which are working so they will be slow to change. Revelut started from scratch in the techno age as oppose to the old 'Banklink hole in da wall thingy'

The main thing i don't like is that you can only access from one device. It doesn't support Joint Accounts.

We have one account, two cards, and the App on both iPhones. Seems to work fine as a joint account of sorts.

Do both of you have access on your phones to the full App, or just the Group Vaults?

The full app...I’m on the Metal plan which might change things, I don’t know

You can request money, make a link, send it to someone, they pay from their browser with their card details, no sign up required.
Zero fees on either end.
I couldnt believe it, the likes of Stripe and PayPal would charge 2-3%

They have a plan in development, under the 100e monthly business plan, to "accept payments online without fees".
I'd say ecommerce will flood to it

Important to recall that Revolut is not a bank.

As a matter of interest, what sold you on the metal card. I thought it was a bit pricey and the basic card does me fine.

 

[Baby boomer]

Fair enough, I might have to do the sums on that myself!

Just checking out the website. The 1% cashbacks is stated to be for "outside Europe" rather than outside the EU.
I presume then that the 1% rate doesn't apply to the UK/NI?

No, it doesn’t

I'll stick with my basic account then!

Don't know about joint accounts, but I have it on my phone, tablet and even my android TV box.
Full access on all.
Biometric access on phone and tablet, might remove it from the box as that was just to see if it worked.

Sure but these pillar banks really need to improve their websites and app design.

Do you have the Standard, Premium, or Metal version?
