  "account": "Revolut, the Irish fintech bank, has entered the mobile-phone network market by launching monthly 5G plans. The service, available to the first 25,000 customers who sign up, will cost €9.99 per month and will run on the Vodafone network. Customers will receive unlimited data in Ireland and 20GB of roaming data in the UK and EEA. Additionally, Revolut Mobile will include a Messaging Pass, offering users 1GB of extra low-speed data in over 120 non-EU countries. RevPoints, granted based on card spending through the bank’s loyalty programme, will allow customers to offset some or all of the monthly mobile costs. However, those on the Ultra plan, priced up to €60 per month, would need to spend around €1,800 each month to cover their entire bill with the €12.99 price. This launch follows a similar move from German supermarket chain Lidl last month.",
