Has anyone here used Revolut? How does it compare to privacy.com for EU users?

Can you use the tap to pay on your phone without using Google Wallet?

    Is there a limit to one-time cards

    There should be something about that in the Revolut EULA or something like that. But I’ve never encountered it. The moment the payment goes through, a new card appears in the app

    Can you elaborate But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer

    It’s a business. A closed source. They are of course bound by laws and regulations but there’s practically no way to make sure they aren’t selling transaction data/statistics under the table. Also, the cards issued by them are either visa or mastercard (IDR), so these companies have that info too. And I’d bet they sell transactions analytics
    Then there’s also the matter of telemetry. Apart from telemetry gathered by the app for Revolut, I guess there’s no way to use it without Gapps

    FWIW I did not notice an influx of spam after registering an account. But that doesn’t prove anything, of course

    We can’t inspect the code of the app. So it’s probably only as private as other bank apps
