Curve strikes Apple Pay collaboration

Curve, the Over-The-Top banking platform that consolidates multiple cards and accounts into one smart card and app, has announced the integration of Apple Pay. 

The launch of Curve for Apple Pay means that customers can spend more freely without their wallet or any limit on most in-store transactions and still benefit from Curve’s unique supercharged features. 

Curve offers 1% instant cashback, the ability to travel in time and change the account that you spent with, and great foreign exchange rates at millions of places around the world.

Meanwhile, Apple Pay, which is transforming payments with an easy, secure and private way to pay, allows customers to make fast and convenient purchases in stores, in apps and on websites.

Diego Rivas, Curve’s Head of Product-OS commented: “We are thrilled to announce Apple Pay is here for all European Curve customers. 

“Curve’s integration with Apple Pay is a magnificent addition to Curve’s unique money management features, superbly complimenting Curve’s commitment to simplifying and unifying people’s financial lives and enabling even more ways for customers to pay with one of the most rewarding and feature-packed personal finance products on the market.”

Curve simplifies and unifies the money management experience for customers with its unique ability to consolidate all bank cards into a single card and transfer transactions up to two weeks after a purchase was made with its go-back-in-time functionality.

As soon as a customer sets up their Curve Mastercard with Apple Pay, it will work instantly with all cardholders’ bank and cards linked to their Curve app.

2019 was a pivotal year for Curve, in which it closed its series B funding round in July, valuing the business at a quarter of a billion dollars. The all-your-cards-in-one business also broke records in September, becoming the fastest UK startup in history to raise £4M in crowdfunding on Crowdcube.

After initially smashing its £1M target in under five minutes it closed out the record breaking round at just under £6M. The Curve card is issued by Wirecard.
