Has anyone here used Revolut? How does it compare to privacy.com for EU users?
Can you use the tap to pay on your phone without using Google Wallet?
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

There should be something about that in the Revolut EULA or something like that. But I’ve never encountered it. The moment the payment goes through, a new card appears in the app
It’s a business. A closed source. They are of course bound by laws and regulations but there’s practically no way to make sure they aren’t selling transaction data/statistics under the table. Also, the cards issued by them are either visa or mastercard (IDR), so these companies have that info too. And I’d bet they sell transactions analytics
Then there’s also the matter of telemetry. Apart from telemetry gathered by the app for Revolut, I guess there’s no way to use it without Gapps
FWIW I did not notice an influx of spam after registering an account. But that doesn’t prove anything, of course
We can’t inspect the code of the app. So it’s probably only as private as other bank apps
