I know that the ability to add your Dozens account to digital wallets is important to you, and many of you have been asking us about this topic here, and directly via customer service.
I’ve mentioned before that we are working on this, and it would be something that would be able to happen once we ‘migrated’ to our new systems as we switch to our Visa cards and other new partners.
Well, … this image was shared by our internal development team today, just before lunch, and I thought that a few of you, like @misterbreen@wbrowngala@Jon@cyruswen & @Mike , might like to see it while it’s “fresh”
This is still not available to current cardholders, but will be coming to the new Dozens app in the very near future, along with many other upgrades and innovations.
This is all starting now, but cards are not going out quite yet
We are doing internal testing, then there will be a short user testing process, then we will be in touch to let you know that the cards are going to be replaced.
The good news is that one of the innovations we are bringing on are new virtual cards, so we should be able to get you up and running on these fairly soon after the switch.
The important thing will be to watch out for announcements via email (so we reach all customers) but obviously also here where we will be able to keep you more updated with details
These virtual cards will allow you to create ‘tokens’ to use on other wallets, so … yes, in both cases
You should not need physical cards at all except maybe for ATMs, … though I imagine that will change in time (if they upgrade their networks before everyone in the UK stops using cash at all)
Cash is still in use on certain public transport as only payment on board unless bought in advance and is still used in some small shops as they can’t get use of chip and pin card machines so cash want stop fully I do use card more but fall back on to cash at odd times
this is a little off topic for this discussion, but we’ll also share details of that here in the community soon
too much excitement for a single thread
that’s not on the roadmap at the current time as it is very niche … but once the major wallets are sorted, you never know as there are a few smaller players. It will depend on demand as well as the complications of implementation.
Curve has its advantages like cashback which I use but when it’s not cashback I want option to just use cards on Apple Pay etc directly avoiding using curve limits up where possible
Thanks @Jack, I do have a Curve card and use it with Garmin Pay but longer term look to de-clutter and see Dozens replacing many other accounts / apps. The fact that Curve breaks the geo location aspects of the Dozens app is a downside.
Then I might be ready to ditch Revolut. COVID contactless payments have transformed my use of the watch as a payment tool.
