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?
No, you have to link Google if you want to pay with your phone. But you can also just get their physical card instead.
I’m not sure what “tap to pay” is and I haven’t used privacy.com. But you can attach your Revolut card to NFC in phone. Without going through Google Wallet
It also issues one-time cards that get destroyed after one use
In general it’s pretty handy, even if as pre-paid accountBut how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer
Can you elaborate But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer
Is there a limit to one-time cards.
@redhotelrwandarhythm@lemmy.ca according to their help page: “You can have up to 6 active physical cards, 20 active virtual cards, and 1 single-use card linked to your Revolut account at one time.”
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

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 GappsFWIW 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
