So lets get into this - how does this service compare to say Transferwise in terms of cost and speed? 

Nice, hope the padded out the dates a bit otherwise they will regret that. Looking at the roadmap cant see anything that represents a killer-feature that would make me shift away from Natwest. 

>> Will it remain a back-end tool that assists human advisors with providing ever-more accurate advice and projections?

I would hope so although this may change over time and depending on function. The theme of how machine learning systems will 'work' with their human counterparts is an interesting one that I wrote about recently here:

Interesting post ...but....

- Theres no such thing as a Whatsapp business, simply busineses that are using Whatsapp for purpose of soliciting customers, operations etc.

- Suprised you didnt mention Wechat. It is what Whatapp should be and probably working towards. Over 600M users, heavily concentrated in China and SE Asia. Its Whatapp + entire ecosystem for selling and commerce.

Great but not that impressed after visiting their site https://www.fidorbank.uk/ - more facebook likes = higher interest rate.

Really?! Is that innovation. Its pretty easy to buy facebook likes if your that desperate for them.

Pretty high fees if you ask me.

Transaction Fee £0.45
UK ATM Fee£1.50
International ATM Fee£2.25
Foreign Exchange Fee3.00% 

Was trying to find out more... gota 404.

Totally agree with you Alex. S/EIS is one, if not the, best Angel tax incentive scheme anywhere in the world. Its has not been that well publicised by the government however Osborn did a good thing by removing the 2017 expirty date on SEIS. 

Next on his list should be to lift SEIS to a realistic level e.g. 150 to 400K. 150K doesnt get decent startup that far and before you know it they are spending time and effort having to do a subsequent EIS round with initial investors having to match up or get dilluted. Thats the sort of issue I would like to hear more discussion on.

I think mentality can be changed if people feel they are 'missing the boat' and hopefully we start to get some success stories out which will help this shift happen, but it will take time.

Cant find it on Play either. Regardless seems very basic if its just capture and tag.

Been using Scanthing on Play to scan reciepts. Great thing is that it does OCR (optical character recognition) meaning I can search for receiepts on the Google Toolbar on my phone by kewords.

Not sure what this gives me over that.
