That's what we are discussing here ......... trying to find a solution.

I asked that question because Elsie mentioned she has a French and a UK account.

Then if you go back to the main menu and under the Accounts tab click on the country flag on the RHS and you will see the Local and SWIFT bank account details.
It takes a while to discover all the options!

Thanks Elsie, I'll take a look when I'm on my laptop, don't really like banking from my phone

The Revolut web interface is rather limited in what you can do. You'll may be able to do some of those and the layout may be a bit different.

This morning this has been posted on another forum:
I have just picked up the ‘phone and spoken to NS&I. The assistant checked with his senior manager and “WISE AND REVOLUT ACCOUNTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY NS&I”

I received a new Barclaycard this morning (current card expires next month), expiring in 2027.
So how's that going to work, given that B/C is a division of Barclays and the latter is going to close my account in January??

I thought it was a VISA card now - not a Barclaycard, just branded - and Visa I think has been bought back by VISA in US - so maybe different rules apply as I am sure VISA has a French presence.

@niemeyjt Well, it has Barclaycard emblazoned over the card and accompanying bumf, so I'm guesssing it's a Barclaycard. It is a Visa card, like my Nattionwide card.

As cards are renewed automatically, unless you have broken their rules, I expect you will receive a letter announcing the cancellation of your card in due course .. with effect from January

Pity Boris didn't bother to agree a continuation of the European Banking Passport the UK enjoyed before with the EU.
