Revolut alternatives

krysor

As mention in this discussion, the new app update made it impossible to log into Revolut after a new app installation / data wipe.

I'd like to learn about and discuss available alternatives. Personally I have two strong criteria:

the app must work on GrapheneOS
it must be available in Europe

In this reddit post someone mentioned:

Bunq
n26
monese
wise
Openbank

I've also encountered

Any experiences with these?
Do their apps work in GrapheneOS?
Do they have free tiers?

All work normally. I've not used Monese in months as its a bit rubbish, but it works.

Paysera. Also has fully functional web version.

What is the matter with you and digital banking? Is it all Gen Z here? Traditional banking is more robust, has better customer service and has a history of operation, privacywise both categories are rubbish. With me, traditional banking wins because it works great on the web (should the app fail, which it likely won't). I bank with Barclays.

Could you please be so kind as to stop with this kind of gatekeeping? It is not the first time you are using a thread about a specific app to argue that GrapheneOS users should not use banking apps and instead use webpages. Especially since you have adopted a judgmental attitude, I feel it's getting tiring and is completely irrelevant to this topic. You can start a new topic about it. I'll flag your post if you continue judging people like this.

Wise doesnt work for me on graphene.
It refuse to log. 27/11 release and previous one , with Wise up to date from Playstore

I use Transcash, which is basically a PWA

Not sure if that helps, but German pen tester Mike Kuketz has a recent article about privacy of many banks (it's not looking good): https://www.kuketz-blog.de/der-grosse-online-banking-und-tan-app-test/

Just in case you're looking to up your privacy game if you have to change banks anyway.

Hi,
As many of you, I'm disappointed by Revolut behavior.
I'm testing right now an app called : Sumeria.
It is the "banking" side of Lydia.

It is available in France, Monaco, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Italy and Luxembourg.
The origin of this app is French, and it is working well with GrapheneOS. (Except for the NFC payment part : it offers Google Pay, like Revolut). There is a free physical debit card.
But it seems to be a nice alternative. Still testing it now, I will share my results on akc3n page.

Edit : a French friend of mine used the card in Romania : no conversion fees.
