I’m thinking about switching

Over the last few days I’ve been looking into Revolut, a digital banking service launched in 2015 that has gone from strength to strength.

No one likes to change their current checking account. However after a few less than ideal experiences with my bank I am thinking what am I being so loyal to them for, staying and moaning because I cannot be bothered to switch.

What I can see Revolut are doing right. They have managed to gain over 50 million customers in 10 short years and ironically while the Ukrainians and Russians have been feuding on the world’s stage, Mr. Putin and Mr. Zelenskyy, two other men Russian Nikolay Storonsky and Ukrainian Tech engineer Vlad Yatsenko have been getting along just fine building a “Unicorn” company defined as over a billion in assets and independently owned.

It’s a digital app that in its early days offered Europeans the opportunity to have a prepaid Mastercard to spend money abroad using interbank exchange rate.

It’s grown massively in 10 short years to offer 5% interest on your savings.

I did go to download the app but it requires a password on my phone which I’ve managed so far without.

It’s my only hurdle to making the switch.

Full biography

Full biography

Went to Doncaster and then Leeds Uni. Graduated 1992. Married. Two kids. Like building things and fiddling with wood. Used to like a pint, have given up a few times whenever I wanted to get fit or lose weight. Gave up drinking last year for the marathon in February 2025 and haven’t had a drink since. Gone back to eating sweets instead. Like to cook. And walk my dogs. Enjoy collecting antiques and life in the country with the family. Done a bit of investing, made a bit of money on Bitcoin and like the idea of being paid to tell stories about businesses good and not so good. I also like the idea of disrupting e commerce a little bit and giving the little guy a push when 82% of us are shopping permanently on Amazon.
