Has anyone got a Revolut account?
My sons both have them and love them.
You can load it with £ and convert it to any currency at the bank exchange rate. Then just use it like a debit card to pay in the local currency.
Security wise it allows you to disclose your geolocation which then stops the card being used outside this area. You can also get alerts when it’s been used and just freeze the card. Every transaction is logged immediately.
I’m going to try mine in Portugal next month.
Only downside is £4.99 delivery for the card.
If anyone is interested please let me know as I think with two friends joining I can unlock the crypto currency aspect.
