Active moderation is key. It's one of the big reasons that https://news.ycombinator.com and https://lobste.rs, especially the latter, work well.
My suggestions would be to please lay some ground rules/community expectations to avoid it becoming too Reddit-esque.
I have accounts/cards with TransferWise, N26, Monzo, Starling, and Revolut. I just like betas.
+1 for Europe.
It should be relatively easy (I say that loosely) at least for the UK. You already have a competitor with https://www.yolt.com/ and you can find out about the open banking thing they use to have a super easy sign-up process to connect to your existing banks that support it.
Loving the landing page style!
I'm not sure about the rest of Europe, but the UK is doing pretty well in that area—there's a whole new open banking initiative that the big banks (like Lloyds) are in on.
.. but can't find similar apps or solutions in EU
There are tons coming out of London. There are new banks that have some of this built-in like Monzo and Starling. Then there's third-party ones that connect to your bank like Yolt which use the new open banking initiative. Then there's marketplaces to find solutions like this such as Bud.
Some better links:
As for my opinion, my immediate reaction is that it lacks character/feels dehumanised, which seems unfortunate for what it represents. If you had hired any one of the big agencies in Stockholm or Oslo, this is more or less what you would've gotten.

Have feedback?
Likewise extremely skeptical. I've seen this exact type of web app come and go for the last quite a while. Good luck!
