    If you go from free curve to curve metal, do you have to wait for the metal card to arrive to have the 10k per month fee-free fronted or does it get enabled immediately so can be used on existing curve card?

    Downgraded from metal to basic this afternoon and it was actioned in less than an hour as perhaps there is some manual process. Good chance that upgrade to metal would be handled instantly once you’ve made payment. Card number appears the same.

    Recently upgraded to Curve Metal and was sent a “commercial/business” metal card which attracts a fee
    from HMRC (not curve) which appears after entering the card number. Has anyone experienced this and managed to get Curve swap it to a personal Metal card?

    Yes, Gary, I managed to swap to a personal card – through their online chat. It was all done quickly and painlessly.
