Fragile Do Not Bend 25 Jan 2:27pm, 25 Jan 2025 12,241 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend Thanks for the heads up NE. I’ve been wondering whether to get a Curve card for Garmin Pay, I’m not sure it’s worth the bother of getting a new account for it as I don’t go anywhere without my phone anyway.
Northern Exile 25 Jan 2:28pm, 25 Jan 2025 10,766 posts	0 Northern Exile It's just an on-line only bank account. Based in the Baltic States again, but working hard on getting proper accreditation. The App is advanced and well-thought out, you can block certain transactions and types of vendor, so for instance you could block eBay purchases. I think you probably could get an overdraft, but for me that would be pointless so I just keep transferring loose change to it from my "real" current account and keep enough money in it to pay for cafes, beer, chip shop etc.

The screenshot is interesting as it confirms that it can be happy with zero anaerobic in certain circumstances. I have no target race or plan on Garmin so maybe that's why it's happy with zero anaerobic? That or because it knows my bodyweight 😂 The change was a 5k run this morning, it took me from being under after my 10k in the week to over today.

Gooner 25 Jan 3:43pm, 25 Jan 2025 23,121 posts	0 Gooner I've just switched to Revolut as Curve always worried me having my debit card attached to it anyway and at least Revolut will only have whatever cash I put in it. I only intend on it being for small purchases here and there.

So, just referring to my original post this is why I only have a small balance with them (usually < £100) and if ever something does get compromised I don't stand to lose much. However - and I guess this is the point - if you want to use Garmin Pay your options are limited.
