Yeah there are similar concepts of banks available for years in Austria (ING DiBa / easy bank) and I am looking for a new bank for years now - the thing is that bunq, n26 and revolution dont offer real credit cards. I use credit cards from time to time as I find it practical to be able to use the money of my next salary in case of emergency on the other hand I really like the features of bunq and they are my favorite at the moment.

stop68676yi like my bank(sparkasse), they're app is nice and they have theyre own app for paying with the phone as an better alternative for google pay. i could get a cc for free but i dont want one. the sepa system is more useful here in germany.
-
Nope SEPA is definitely not more useful. The reason why I am using my credit card often is because I want to buy things with next months money when I know I will get them next month (for example a washing machine)
-
Yeah but I don't want a short time credit with 4-8% interest rate, I want to use pay the amount at once and have a nice overview over my expenses. With my current app (erste bank in Austria) I see my current expenses from all cards in one app

sabz76yHow about Transferwise? I find their Borderless Account and attached card very useful for me at the moment (moving countries) even though it has some limitations (with direct debits for example) so I can't really use it as a main bank account.
Revolut has been trying for about year about getting a banking licence. I'm not really happy to use them until they do. -
Registered for bunq now, will report back later. Additionally I will try another national bank for some time.
bunq, N26 or revolut? I am also a bit sceptical because of brexit - i am sure it would affect revolut. I don't like the pricing of n26 but the metal MasterCard looks sexy and I love the features of bunq.
Not sure which bank I should choose...
Has anyone here got some more info about those three mobile first banks?
