You can but will incur a 3% fee if you deposit in USD.

Topping up via debit card in EUR or GBP is free, in USD there will be a 3% charge.

so Revolut cannot be topped-up from a card issued by a non-EEA bank...
that's a pity.

Being a 'European user' and topping up from a bank located in the EEA are not the same thing. I can top up from an account located in East Asia but my registered address is in UK, so it's ok.

From your news, it seems that Revolut is not only no longer taking applications from non-European residents, but is actively disallowing those already registered to top up their balances.

I guess you can still receive funds from another Revolut user and continue using it that way, if available.

I am going on holiday to USA next year and am currently being scared by some of the horror predictions of the currency rate falling to $1.15 or lower

So I am considering getting a Revolut currency card and loading it NOW for next year. Apart from having money tied up for a long time, is there any disadvantage to this?



Is there a limit on how much you can put on? And does it matter if you then don't use it for ten months? And is it secure leaving money there?

Thanks for your advice
