Revolut

notes

Upside:

• Does have web access.

Downsides:

• Does not offer mobile check deposit; no apparent intention of doing so.
• Requires a cellphone for each login.
• Email verification requires opening the verification email on your phone.
  • The "go to inbox" button takes me to GMail, which isn't what I'm using for email.
  • Viewing the necessary "verify" button took several steps, which took me 3 verification emails to work through.
  • They only give you 60 seconds to verify after sending the email.
• Transfers from banks require 3-7 days.
• App is sluggish compared to Simple app.
  • The PIN screen reappears briefly after accepting your PIN, leading to a couple of moments of confusion. This could easily be more problematic on a slower phone.
• Verifying email can only be done on the app.
• App sometimes hangs after login.
• Unclear how to send money to anyone directly.
  • Adding a contact lets you type in a name, but then you can't do anything after that (the "add" button is greyed out)
    • ...unless you press the right-arrow button twice, and then it gives you a name-or-phone field.
