Curve welcomes its new partnership with Lloyds Banking Group, as it seeks to build on its position as a leading UK fintech and digital wallet. Our technology is one we have developed since 2015, and which now we are privileged to bring to a much wider customer base. As a pioneering digital wallet, we have worked to save our customers money and make payments easier. Whether it’s our wallet technology or allowing customers to retrospectively switch payment cards, we have successfully enabled more accessible banking, as an additional payment layer. The agreement between Curve and Lloyds Banking Group is recognition of the value Curve’s products bring to customers. This is an opportunity to expand Curve’s technology and make it more widely accessible.
Say hello to Curve ✨ We're acquiring this leading digital wallet platform to provide customers flexible and simple payments technology. Together, we’ll provide a next generation digital banking experience.
Schahar's name will be a huge red flag, in the world of crowdfunding and fintech scene. BTW we should have expected that because CC investor communication was basically nonexistent. I personally think that also Crowd Cube has to raise the entry limit and protect the CC investors more. This was a nasty rip-off!
Wonder if this will be the death of curve. It had been reducing in appeal for a while to the point where I stopped using it completely. I don't expect the many users who invested early on will be particularly happy to hear that they'll be getting zero return!
Strategic move by Lloyds Banking Group! Acquiring Curve strengthens their digital wallet capabilities and positions them well in the competitive UK fintech landscape. Curve's all-in-one card technology and cashback features have built strong user engagement. This acquisition could accelerate Lloyds' digital transformation and help them compete more effectively with challenger banks. Excited to see how they integrate Curve's tech stack into Lloyds' broader ecosystem.
The Lloyds Banking Group has no real interest in the Curve product itself. What they are after is one thing only: the customer data pool. And that’s exactly why Curve is aggressively collecting information that goes far beyond any legitimate KYC or AML requirement. Requesting income documents for a product that provides no credit line, no leverage, and no third-party funding options is just one example. I will be sharing exclusive insights very soon – including emails, screenshots, and the full communication trail. As a long-time customer since 2020 and someone directly affected, I can show exactly how this process works and why it’s time to talk about it openly.
Why did you forget to mention that with this move, you robbed all the Curve crowdfunding Crowdcube investors? I can accept losses when the share price goes down, but it's not acceptable to pay 0 for people who still own shares at Curve. Especially if a poor CEO gets paid for this transaction while not being able to fix Curve's customer support for 5 years 🤦♂️ That's a huge reputational hit to Lloyds Banking Group, Curve, Crowdcube. Will never use those brands again.
Yet another crowdfunding success! Use the money you get from ordinary investors to keep the company afloat while you look for people with deeper pockets to invest. Then, when you're profitable, sell the company for peanuts and structure the deal such that the people who supported you from the start are left without a penny. This is the third crowdfunded investment I've had that was profitable but somehow managed to legally steal my money. No more. #curvescam
Misery of case that a lot people who supported this Curve venture through Crowdcube in early stages will pull off they money (subscription based) as the lost more due to some very smart decisions of Shachar Bialick #curvescam
Really disappointed to find out that myself and many other early investors will receive absolutely no returns as a result of this acquisition
