Back to Curve 👍 nice changes

Just re-verified my old curve account after leaving it parked since they limited the cards on the free plan.

Pleasantly surprised to see big changes.
Unlimited cards again and cashback on the second tier account for non EU purchases.

Returning to use Curve, just ordered a new card but already added it to Google wallet.

Nice job Curve :+1::sunglasses:

I did the same as I was suddenly interested in reviving Curve to use with iFast on Apple Wallet during iFast’s cashback promotion (as they don’t support Apple Pay directly).

The verification was quite easy and I was quickly back in, the app works well and no problems with payments.

Curve seem to be doing well!

Yes, Curve has quietly raised its game over recent months.

If you try add iFAST to Apple Pay, you’ll see they’re beta testing it now.

On the Curve note, they keep suspending my account. Every time I try to pay. Happened twice.

I’ve essentially done the same, and what a wild ride this has been. Firstly I had to reverify (no issues with that) and had quite a lengthy dialogue moving Curve from one phone to another (it wouldn’t ‘take’).

Once that issue - a mere 17 messages to resolve - I had to delete the app from the old phone, they then discovered a dormant account on the new phone that required deletion, and then finally I logged in, with most of the previously stored cards having expired. It invites you to update them in app, but that doesn’t work (you have to delete and reinstall them) and about half the cards I have added don’t show up in the app. Apple Pay is blocked, as are the details of the card.

I felt sorry for the CSA, 30 messages on, he has tried ‘everything’ (uninstall/reinstall numerous times, delete the cache(?)) and has now sent it to the 7th circle of he’ll that is second line support, who, inevitably, are going to suggest nuking the account and starting from scratch. No babes, not doing that, your product is interesting but not actually worth this amount of effort.

Really enjoyed reading this! It’s impressive to see Curve proactively tackling payment pain points, especially with Curve Pay launching on Android and its upcoming rollout to Apple devices across the UK and Europe. Letting users switch payment sources after a transaction and dodge foreign transaction fees feels like a genuine upgrade to the typical wallet experience. Plus, the pushback on Apple’s NFC fees shows Curve’s commitment to keeping the ecosystem open and competitive. It’s these kinds of thoughtful moves, by fintechs and regulators working together, that help us all benefit. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
