Curve - what’s it all about then

Ten Pin · 15-04-2021 12:16pm

Tried a small transaction (<10e) using Curve with EBS, went through as normal as if there was no SCA on either card which is presumably because it's a small amount and if it were required it would be asked for on the Curve card.

Is it normal that transaction shows up as 2 separate transactions at same time with one of them pending and counts the spend total as double until the transaction is fully processed? Just one transaction pending on EBS account.

Haven't in a while but I use Curve with N26 all the time and it doesn't trigger N26's SCA so I would be hopeful it wouldn't any other provider's SCA either (unless it's been newly added to Curve).

I use curve with avantcard, KBC, bunq, and N26. No issues with triggering SCA.

My curve card doesn't have a number on it, so I assume the number in the app would be your permanent card number.

The number is on the back of the physical card.

Same

My card number in app is the same as physical card.

It says card CVC and expiry date were updated when I activated my card.

I guess that means activate by using pin in shop or ATM.

Not on mine, nothing on it but my name.

When did you get the card.

Mine I have used for years has all information.

Amouar · 18-04-2021 12:33am

I just found out that physical cards are now free. I just ordered one

The original one has the number on the back of it, but the replacement doesn't have it.

Why don't you try it out and let us know?

I signed up last week and got a free physical card and £5.00 added to my account.

I’m not seeing any cash backs going in though even though I chose three retailers and have spent with them.

They are crowd funding again for anyone thats interested.

Saw that. I put in £1,000 last time and will probably put £10,000 in this time.

Crowdcube have some kind of secondary market now so I wonder what my original investment would be able to achieve.

That sometime in the future they have an IPO or get bought out and those who have invested get so much money back that it makes people who bought bitcoin at 0.14c jealouse.

Or maybe there will be other perks for buying in like lastime.

I got a metal card, subscription and socks.

I've had Curve for years and never had a problem with it until tonight. Went to open up the app and there's advertising on it for 1% cash back over 30 days or some other rubbish, however, it now keeps asking me to enter a verification code which has been sent to my phone number.

When I try entering the five digits I keep getting the message, 'error validating verification code', get another code?

Can anyone help me out please?

Is anyone else having issues getting refunds back when the Curve Card is used. I have two outstanding refunds from Amazon that are yet to appear on the Curve card. Amazon have said it has been refunded, but I am getting now replies from the Chat feature on the app.

I am also missing some money from amounts that were pre-authorised on a hotel visit in December.

Would anyone happen to have a phone number for them so I could try to speak to someone.

lordsheepface · 11-01-2022 8:33pm

I had a lot of trouble with pre-auths and Curve. Took 3 weeks to get them back. Had to have the merchant send me proof of the refund/cancellation of the pre-auth for Curve to release the funds back to me. Curve support is very poor. They are slow. They are very robotic too and to me they seem to be working off the basis of just replying rather than trying to solve the problem.

cullenswood · 11-01-2022 9:32pm

Yes, that is what I am facing.

Very slow at replying, and asking for the same information a few times.

Its actually putting me off using it for anything that might happen to need a refund, which is disappointing as I was liking the service up until now

I've had several refunds on Curve, never had a problem.

_Godot_ · 30-06-2022 9:33pm

What do people think of the new changes to the free tier, like being limited to adding only two cards.

OrangeLavender · 30-06-2022 9:53pm

It doesn't really impact me too much. I got Curve just for one card which doesn't work with Google pay. I think back to a job I was in a few years ago with a lot of travel and if I was still in a job like that, I probably would go up to the paid tier now just because I would have found it really helpful for expenses etc.

Looks like I can still add another card even though I have two already.

I'll try it tomorrow.

Jeff2 · 30-06-2022 11:36pm

As I found a card to hand I just tried add it as 3rd card and it worked fine.

The email i got said the changes will come into effect in 60 days from the date the email was sent. Not sure what happens if you have more than two cards added before this date.

The limit on going back in time will be a big issue for me. I default to my credit card, then go back in time to whatever card it should be on. I may as well muck about with cards in the Google pay app as the curve app.

Delta2113 · 20-07-2022 11:27pm

I'd imagine you will be forced to remove cards until you are down to two cards.
