Important update
Back in December, we introduced a 1.5% fee for paying (UK) tax bills with an underlying credit card. We’re now extending that fee to include credit card bills paid for with an underlying credit card.
While free before, you’ll now be prompted to turn on Curve Fronted in the app to make such transactions possible.
Why the fee? Why now?
In the name of transparency, it ain’t cheap. These transactions aren’t typically possible, and making them possible costs us a lot of money. As we’ve grown, we’ve realised the cost just isn’t sustainable.
So we considered our options. We could do what most companies do and block these kinds of transactions altogether. This would certainly solve the cost issue, but it didn’t sit well with us and our ultimate aim to simplify your finances – we want you to have control over your money, not us.
So we decided to introduce a fee that would offset the cost to the business, but hopefully still be low enough for you to be worth it.
We’ve exempted Curve Metal customers from the fee as the subscription fee enables us to cover the cost of transactions.
We know this will come as bad news to some of you, but hope you can understand the reasons behind the decision. If you have any questions, or want to air your thoughts, head to our
community forum.
