Revolut Foreign Exchange

[Itchy]

£200 or €200 withdrawal in each rolling month, that's the only downside. If you're using it to pay with card then it's hard to beat, have saved a fortune using it

Highly recommended!!! Serious service for free basically... cuts out the shite of having foreign money left over after your holiday as well.

If they raised the withdrawal amount to 500 even it would be perfect but it's a very small complaint!

Do you mean cash withdrawl from an atm. I assume you can transfer money to another  account with no limitations?

Monzo is the same. 3 percent fee on cash withdrawal amounts over 200 euro in a rolling 30 day period.

TransferWise is also a good job. Have an app and good exchange rates and basically any currency you want on the card. You also have the option to change spending limits and contactless limits on the card. Fees for transferring Euro to sterling are great also.

That's the thing - Revolut has no fees for exchanging any currency.

Say if I have £50 and €50 in my account, can I use the contactless option North & South of the border without issue / charge?? Does it like automatically know that I would want to use the €€ option in Dundalk??

I used it in the South last weekend and the girl in the shop asked me if I wanted GBP or Euro transaction

Good stuff, cheers

Always say Euro or whatever the local currency is.

[gallsman]

You always pay in the local currency of wherever you are, even if not using Revolut.

With Revolut, they'll bill you the local currency and they'll handle the conversion at their rates.

If you select to get billed in your home currency, you get hit by what's called Dynamic Currency Conversion. The exchange rate here comes from the the payment supplier to whoever the retailer is and they absolutely shaft you.

Revolut will always first debit a balance of the currency you're buying in.

If you have 50 sterling and 50 euro, and buy something that's 20 euro, it'll debit you 20 euro.

If you have 50 sterling and no euro, and buy something that's 20 euro, it'll debit your sterling balance the equivalent of 20 euros at the applicable rate.

If you have 25 sterling and 25 euro and try to buy something that's 30 euro, the payment will fail at the entire transaction has to be covered from one account, at least for now

Another handy thing I've used Revolut for in the past while is to collect deposits for a hen party. I send each person a request for payment, and they use the link to send me money using their debit card. V handy.

Looking to get one of these cards, a few questions

Can you use it at the any ATM and make daily withdrawals ? i.e take out 200 quid one day and another 200 the next day?

Is the card contactless? 

How much can you put on the card at a time?

Does it work in all over? America and everywhere in Europe?

Yes, but you pay a few on withdrawals above the monthly limit. The limit is on the amount of cash you can withdraw without fees, not on how much you can withdraw, subject to other restrictions.

Is the card contactless?

Yes

How much can you put on the card at a time?

It varies by to up method. I've transferred five figure sums from a bank account to Revolut.

Yes

Tallymoney are launching a card using gold as it's currency, seems perfect for holidaying and no foreign exchange fees.
