Tried last year but they flat out refused. BoI took 3 months to get right for a PCP, apparently they had never done a DD with Revolut for PCP before then.

Really?

Rang them last week and they said if I filled out a direct debit form and posted it in they could do it, they just couldn't over the phone. They work via n26 with eir I know that much.

Time will tell if I was being fobbed off.

Existing card or new card?

Existing card, used multiple times before without any issues.

Same question popped up on Android but showed the box to enter the CCV.

Works fine on Android 7 beta!

I finally got the 7 beta pushed on my iOS device and I don't know if this is a step into the right direction......

One feature that now seems missing for me is that I can't add a comment / note to any vault transactions. I found this feature useful in the past!

Is it possible to have a a crypto savings vault?

As in, I've set up a vault with the OH and we're both contributing a monthly deposit to it in € - but can that be converted into crypto or even gold before it goes in the vault?
.....

Yes - I tried and was able to set up a shared crypto vault just there now.

You can select for spare change to go there and also schedule recurring payments eg a monthly payment however it looks like you must make the regular payments using the vault currency so it is NOT (currently - in Android Version 7 beta 284) possible to schedule say a €20 monthly deposit to a BTC vault. [you must chose a BTC value for the topup]

I like it, although I wonder why they simultaneously felt the need to:
have the last tab show the present plan and benefits instead of defaulting to an action orientated menu (sales pitch like said)
didn't address the widgets jumble

Can't see what the issue with payments tab to enable bank transfers is personally - it was pretty quick to nav to.

The second tab for wealth actually clarifies something for me - the difference between having a crypto balance, and havin a vault which is crypto.

I've tried googling for an answer to no avail.

I like the simple transaction history but with multiple balances in different currencies it is not that easy anymore. If one only has one currency it is however cleaner.

The comment about this being sales oriented is true. The fee based products make up a whole new tab.

I think it will take a while to get used to but they clearly took some of the types that don't make them money (like transfers to bank accounts) and made it a little harder.

I just downloaded it there now also, it’s horrible

I went to transfer money to my OH yesterday and it took me an age to find where to do it. Anybody else have this problem or am I now officially too old to adapt to change?

It's certainly not as intuitive as before. I think you are never too old for change despite it getting harder to understand why some of the change is necessary when "everything worked before".

The "send" money option is now found by clicking on the centre icon at the bottom of the main screen - there are two arrows pointing left and right.
Then select the search / magnifying glass icon at the top, to the right of the "Payments" text, and search for your contacts.
Then choose "Send", "Request" or "Schedule" - the rest is similar to before.

*Above applies to Android App v7.0-beta-277

There is a complete redesign in app with the current beta (Version 7.0-beta-277), not just the black R for "Revolut" ...beta now has a small blue ß inset on the black R.

The new in-app design is a lot more "salesy" with panels for share dealing , plan upgrades etc much more prominent.

Basic functionality of moving between wallets, checking out transactions etc is not as intuitive or easy to navigate as before. I'm undecided on the new layout - perhaps it will grow on me.

You can not do a direct US to Ireland transfer, it needs to go into your Revolut account first.

You would transfer $ from your US Bank account via SWIFT/Wire transfer to your revolut account (IBAN is multi currency).

Once on the account you than transfer the money in € to your Irish account and the exchange rate is Revolut own exchange rate not the mid market. It's the live rate at the moment of exchange. No fees by Revolut for transfer or exchange.

If you already use transferwise you might have it easier with them as you safe the cost and hassle of a wire transfer from your US account.

Also if you use the account that way you will very quickly trigger account review and provide proof of funds.

As to emulator you still need a phone to receive the initial text message to confirm your number bluestack works.

Thanks very much for that. Transferwise do have a wire fee. Perhaps it only kicks in for larger amounts. I seem to remember once buying Euros with them and having the option of ACH but most times it has involved a wire (and associated fee in the Bank when "pushing" it over of course) There was still a cost involved though even with the ACH

Text message is fine. I looked at revolut there and they start the process by asking for your number. I did that and they texted me a link.

Can this be used to transfer money from foreign bank accounts to Irish ones? I currently use transferwise for transferring money.

I see that their free plan limits to 5000 GBP a month and the paid ones unlimited.

If i signed up for this then I could, for example, transfer 5k GBP equivalent from a US bank account to an Irish Bank account, per month, and at mid-market rates and no additional fees?

If I wanted to transfer more, it would just be a fixed charge on top of that regardless of amount?

Is that correct?

Does anyone use it from their desktop with an emulator or would you need it installed on your phone?

It’s a shame that they have restricted their new junior account option to just premium and metal users.

In theory they do but in reality there are merchants and employers whose banking system can't handle it.

Suppose you could go to the regulator, dunno if they'd do anything though.
