TLDR: some woman did a facial recognition log in method, the bank said that the photos are not stored and deleted instantly, but because there was a Slovenian flag (looked like russian in the photo)in the background, she got her bank account blocked and the CEO posted the verification image online
We know that the NSA and probably whoever dedicated enough can potentially access webcams remotely too, and millions of kids now have cameras in their room at all times through their phone or computer.
I opened an account with starling partly because they have a real webapp, but you have to fucking log in with your phone, which is half the reason I want a webapp: because fetching your phone when you’re already at your computer is just a ballache
I don’t have british pounds at hand so can’t test… Why are you putting valuable stuff next to more valuable stuff, anyway? Like to have everything stolen in one go?
Nope. The website says “get app” like 4 times. There’s a webapp but it’s for business stats only (like if you own a cafe). They are just trying to “appeal to the younger generation”, and one part of that is the app that spams emojis everywhere. Another part of that is furry stickers (“qr cat”) believe it or not; in physical, Telegram and Viber because everything in this damn country is held together by Telegram and Viber.
Ironic it’s a monobank card, it’s mobile only and you have to use a locked unrooted googled phone (or an iPhone) because big brother said so.

Edit: wrong link
makes you wonder what the CEOs of all those age verification companies are doing with all the photos

Hope that doesn’t get too popular, I don’t want to have to carry a second phone just to make payments when I can use a much smaller card instead.
Just get this phone - a bit thick, but very pocketable.
In other news, cash is foldable.
Good luck folding £100 without having a pretty big bulge in your phone case.

How often are you finding people steal your phone?
None because I try to avoid bringing it in the first place. It’s my 2FA box.
No website / desktop access?

Nope, the point of this bank is that it’s mobile only. No offices, no webapp.
