Revolut: you can finally switch to a French IBAN and make it your main account
On neobanks, it can be complicated to make your bank account your main spending account. It must be said that many services require the use of a French IBAN account. However, until now, Revolut only offered Lithuanian IBANs. However, the neobank announced on Wednesday the deployment of French IBANs, now allowing you to make payments by direct debit, open an account with a mobile operator or collect your salary on your Revolut account without complication.
Apple Watch Series 8: here’s what the new design would look like, if it really exists
While the next generation of smartwatches from Apple, the Apple Watch Series 8, should not be presented before next fall, leaker Jon Prosser has shared first 3D renderings of the expected design. According to the information obtained by the leaker, the watch would retain a rectangular screen and its notched crown. However, the edges of the watch would be much flatter, reminiscent of the design initially expected for the Apple Watch Series 7.
