Turn fronted off, if it goes through it’s not fronted
Still no official confirmation of the changes but an ugly new app has been launched
I’m afraid when I saw a mail from “pucciboy” containing “Sexy little boy” in the inbox, I thought I was receiving unsolicited CSAM and closed the site in disgust.

So now with all this news it may be worth asking a few questions. I’m still baffled as to what curve thinks is a fronted transaction. There seems to be no obvious way to tell. I’m sure me paying off a credit card using my curve is definitely fronting. Yet some savings accounts allow you to top up via Apple Pay and whilst not allowing a credit card, curve does work. So is this fronted?
And someone mentioned topping up an ISA and this not counting as fronting. I assume this only works if you can use credit cards to top up this ISA, in which case how does Curve know that the retailer accepts credit cards (and presumably debit cards) and hence doesn’t count it as a fronted transaction?
Which savings accounts or ISA’s accept credit card top ups which don’t count as fronted and don’t incur some kind of fee from the underlying credit card (Barclaycard)? Happy to exchange info, I have a savings account that allows unlimited topups via Apple Pay to easily reach the fronted limit monthly.
Would like to trade some info for the name of the savings account provider but not sure how to DM you.
Email me a word of your choosing to upper_ensure352@simplelogin.com (this will forward it onto me as this is an alias) and reply to this message on the forum to confirm it’s you.
I would like to hear these secrets too if possible. Had curve from the good old days but like others thought it was a dead duck now. Word of choosing: RWC2MORO
I have a great non-fronted option that works with any underlying and even Amex (doesn’t need curve). If anyone can convince me that they have something useful to trade then email schemas-00-noble@icloud.com
It’s not bluechain is it? You don’t say your “great option” is fee-free.
So is zilch accepting curve as non fronted?

That doesn’t work, unfortunately.
Why not, it only works as fronted? This is for the instant payments up to £2k
Zilch is now fronted unfortunately. Was good while it lasted

It seems 2.0 is rolling out this week – the GUI looks like back in the day on the jailbroken iPhones.

Are both “Personal” and “Commercial” cards affected as a result of this change?
Seems not everyone has received any “official” communication of this change.

I haven’t received a thing.
The majority of customers who aren’t on these forums or others and still don’t know – Curve should be ashamed.
The CEO is too busy on Reddit trying to defend how his company isn’t bleeding money. In fact he says they’re now gross margin profitable for every customer and will break even soon. 😂

Shachar Bialick reminds me of Adam Neumann and he’s got delusions of grandeur.
Was annoyed initially, I’m probably going to continue with Curve Metal @ 17.99/month
Value to me:
Allows Credit Card to be used when only Debit Card allowed approx £60 /month
ATM withdrawls – No Value – metal card gets stuck in ATMs! 0 /month
Currency Conversion approx £2/month
Fronted £45/month
Insurances maybe £10/month
Cashback £5/month
It’s still worth it.
