Curve rolls out its first-ever credit card in the UK

Curve, a popular all-in-one card app, just rolled out its first-ever credit card, which is now available in the UK.

The new card will provide users with protection from problem purchases, even when the company’s users are buying with their debit card, thus increasing user safety.

What kinds of benefits can users expect?

Using the new solution is very simple. Customers can easily link their existing cards to a digital Curve Wallet. After that, they can open the app whenever they want and just pick which card will get charged when they make payments with their Curve credit card.

The card also comes with all the benefits of Section 75 protection against eligible purchases. As mentioned, this also includes purchases charged to a debit card via a previously described process.

Curve’s new card aims to provide users with ultimate control over their payments and transactions, with the power to switch from one card to another and automate their spending. The company’s website also says that users will have the ability to double up on rewards by earning cashback on top of the rewards that they already get with another card.

Not only that, but users can even choose to earn their cashback in crypto, which might be an interesting option. In addition, the card might bring unexpected benefits to those who travel frequently, as Curve will allow users to use any card anywhere in the world without having to pay foreign transaction fees.

Curve Flex and future features

However, the card will have additional benefits, such as a feature called Curve Flex. This allows users to split their future or past purchases into multiple monthly installments. All it takes to do this is one tap, so the whole system is extremely simple to use.

But, that is also not everything, as Curve has revealed that it has plans to further improve its services moving forward. At some point in the future, the company intends to further expand Flex benefits. One such plan is to introduce the ability to refinance expensive credit card debt. However, the move will also come with a lower-cost amortized loan.

Curve recently made headlines after completing its Series C funding round, which allowed it to raise an additional 58 million GBP, bringing the round’s total funding to more than 133 million GBP. Speaking on its plans for the money raised, the company revealed that some of it will be used to realize the firm’s ultimate aim, which is to host a financial supermarket in its app.
