Andy Onchan Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I have Revolut chasing me (from London) to sign up my IOM companies with them (our UKCo is already signed up and with relative ease after about 2 weeks of providing them with what they wanted for DD purposes). Quite pleased so far. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still slight concerns with their overall security but seems ok, in the main. Are they allowed to do business on the Isle of Man - they do not appear to be on the FSA list of authorised businesses?

Revolut is certainly making banks look like Dickensian monoliths..great service and also (I’d imagine) a perfect conduit for organised crime and money laundering..

The well went dry, they pulled out and are now setting up a new coworking and collaboration space - in partnership with the starship enterprise - https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-business/chamber-of-commerce-moves-to-new-hq/ Are they really going to go and fit out a new space in a new building when THEIR old Eagle Labs is literally sat there ready to go? Oh wait, DFE cant give them more money in he same building. Is the IOM Chamber of Commerce officially off its rocker? I'd love to know if anyone has actually had any benefit of the Chamber other than attending some gladrag wine and pizza evenings? Any idea how much the new one is costing us?

Kopek Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Would we be better off without a CoC? Surely they are just another organisation to hold our Govt to account??? Which is what we want, isn't it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 trouble is C of C are so impregnated into government circles and advisory committees that they have started running the show , to the detriment of those who are not members , you only have to look at the influence they have in the department of Enterprise , probably would not have been so bad if we had politicians with some balls to stand up to the chamber and some of the civil servants who seem to just want an easy life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So has Construct Isle of Man moved as well, if it has shut, haven't heard anything. But never do until they want money for renewal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
