Revolut Megathread.

Is Revolut the best way to pay for goods in US $ in person?

Thanks 😊

Exact same as you, wanted to refinance a small loan for better rate about a month ago but it was rejected. I got on to their chat support and they said it was due to my central credit register report. So applied for ccr report, have that back and its clean as a whistle so no idea why it was rejected. I wonder if they are only approving a very small amount initially or they have some oddball criteria.

Re the ccr report it did show on it that they (revolut) requested a ccr check, don't think that's a major deal in itself but I guess if you had a lot of those it could potentially affect future loan applications as it looks like you're constantly applying for loans.

Anyones else replacement card taking ages to come ?? nearly 2 wks @ this stage ordered 24 april still no sign

Euronet does not charge for withdrawal on their Irish ATM if you use an Irish Card which is why KBC was free but your foreign card (Revolut) was not.

Revolut used to issue MasterCards that were coded as Irish so you got around it but by the looks most of the new Visa cards are showing as non Irish.

Lucky you with KBC

My Passport expired in April and this morning I got the dreaded e-mail - "Please update your documents". Anyone any idea from previous experience how long before they would start to restrict my account and what sort off restriction this would be e.g. no withdrawals.

I use it to pay Netflix - Turkey so I hope they won't restrict that - after that I could manage if everything else is blocked for a few months until I get a new Passport.

Revolut Bank UAB as bank has different KYC requirements than Revolut Payments UAB (the e-money license).

For most customers it should not be a problem but there are some scenarios (expired documents, documents not 100% compliant or verifiable) which during the transition are coming up and hence new documents are needed.

@Yggr of Asgard - I think I would still be having this issue without Revolut Bank UAB even happening -might be wrong probably will never know. No mention in the e-mail about Revolut Bank UAB which I already switched over a few weeks ago when I got that e-mail. Today is my Birthday and Passport expired last month.

It's unlimited currency exchange subject to a fair usage policy of 1000€.

If you go over the fair usage, then you get charged 0.5% (plus 0.5% on weekends). Making card payments, sending money, ATM withdraws in foreign currency all count towards the fair usage policy.

Just like unlimited broadband.

Good marketing speak.

Go into "your profile", click on "price plan" and than "exchange", it will show you how much you have left and also outline what counts as exchange!

You could always get a free trial for the duration of the trip. As long as you don't order a new card (and you don't need one as your current cards continue to work but will be linked against the new plan) you can cancel without any penalty.

*Please do check the terms and conditions of the trial when you sign up, as Revolut frequently changes their terms and your personalised offer might vary*

Yeah, the charge would only be on the 300€ so you should be fine.

Enjoy your holidays.

Just go to add money as usual and change from your usual payment method.

Did anyone topped up their Revolut account using the 'Easy bank Transfer' method? If so, how was it?
