Revolut

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.

Yep. Got one a few weeks ago. All seems pretty good to me.

Didn't pay a delivery charge for it though !

Did you upgrade to premium? That’s the only one offering free delivery today.

Just checked my Cryptocurrencies and it's active without any need for friends input.

Strange as people have been complaining since June about the delivery charge. Maybe they had a free window when you got yours.

I’ll check the crypto again.

Looked at the crypto.
Their exchange is
1 btc to 6285.3 dollars.

On coinmarketcap, plenty exchanges listed, the rate you receive is
1btc to 6417.48 dollars

 You lose 132 dollars per btc.

I always check with my two sons before I do anything with crypto. They have been at it for years.

Cheers for pointing that out though.

Try We Swap.  Better rates and ideal if all you want to do is withdraw lira at ATM’s and pay for meals etc.  No charge for the card either.

I have a Revolut Card as well, but have found the We Swap account offers a better deal.  Have used it a lot in Çaliş and Fethiye with no issues whatsoever.

Sorry, my mistake ! I HAVE got Premium. Just been reminded that I got it for the travel insurance.
