They're not a bank. None of the FinTechs are. Different culture. They don't understand accounts must always work .

I don't understand the question. Perhaps if I describe the problem a bit more - I had the app, the app worked, the app was updated, and by being updated, needed a later version of Android (5.0). I was running 4.4, and so could no long

Sweden has been blocking offshore farms on the east side of country, where they would be fighting Russia. West side farms are fine. USA hardly has the same problem, and the current admin are frankly a bunch of low-brow vicious thugs, who i

It took me about five years to get Revolut to return to me the funds in an account I could no longer access (Revolut overnight upped the Android requirement for their app, so I could no longer access), where they had no mechanism by which t

I tried to vote, by post, as I lived in the EU. The ballot paper arrived the day before the vote. It was impossible to return it in time, and indeed, when I checked, my vote had arrived too late and was not counted.

No. 1. News outlets look to sell stories - and so catchy headlines. Real value is optional. 2. I expect you could find a range of contrary views over the same time. I've read good analysis saying economy will just keep going. 3. Try

I looked to see if I could find anything asserting 1984 was about propaganda at BBC - nothing. I found no interviews, no recordings - it seems what survives are his notebooks. Can you describe the basis for the claim?

Do we need to be skeptical of NIH because of Trump? or they're still okay? Also, remember - don't take D on its own. Always with magnesium, or you get harmed by it, for all that it also does you good. Body is not built for raw

If you work full-time, you are in most countries penalized by progressive taxation; you pay say 20% on the first NN thousand, and then it moves to 40% or something more on the rest (or on everything, in some countries). It seems much better

Well, I mean, on a contract I might make 60k GBP gross over six months, and it just sits in the account. The bank seems to get a fair bit of money in its accounts, for it.

It's not quite what it seems. I'd picked up a contract in the UK and relocated to the client and created a company for the contract. I then tried to get a business bank account with a normal bank, and failed. Metro bank took forev

I had a chat with Support. I spoke to two people, as I had a first conversation, then after finished remembered I wanted to ask what "all funds in the account will be refunded" meant. From the first person; 1. TW cannot confirm o

I may be wrong, but it seems to me it may be this happens quite a bit to quite a few people, but I am different in that I get annoyed and write about it. Other people get over it :-)

Seems to me this is a kind of advanced persistent threat. You defeat them one day, but they're still there, and they keep trying, day after day after day.

Dailymail in UK is a really grotty, low-class, nasty paper. I have no opinion about the story - I've not read it, don't know anything about the people involved - but DM is what it is and for non-UK people, want to surface this.
