  • You can withdraw 3p to your bank account via ban transfer functionality and it is free to do:-)

    Don't make that mistake, have a backup or two in case of problems, sorting then out with Revolut (or any card) can take time/cost. Starling, Monzo, etc

    I have backup in terms of people I can count on, I really just prefer not to carry my bank cards or AMEX particularly in cites like Lagos, Douala, Bangkok etc.

    No you can't, there's a £1 minimum.

    Their staff are very multi ethnic, their CS staff in Krakow command better English than most Brits from my experience, and I suspect that they do well to avoid too much ethnic British participation.
    From what you're saying it appears that Revolut's staff are predominantly Russian. Hardly "very multi ethnic".

    I got a Revolut card for a holiday in Cyprus and we used it for purchases of fuel, meals, drinks, food, presents and duty free at the airport before flying home. So easy to add to it when we wanted to empty the duty free shop.

    Used the small balance left on it when I had finished down at the local lidl. Have 3p left on it!

    If only I could still get a curlywurly for 3p!

    Would recommend the card to everyone. Never used it to draw any money out.

    Save those pennies, occasionally they do promotions where you can earn gifts or enter prize draws by sending 1p to friends! :-)

    Drawing local currency is one of the main benefits, its fee free and uses live spot rates.

    Same ATM:
    Barclays Visa, £1=387 N + Non Sterling Trans fee $1.49 + Cash Fee £1.50
    Revolut £1=462.4232 N Fees: £0.00

    What I actually wrote was saying that the founders of Revolut are ethnic Russian. Both of them are, and staff are recruited according to their talent, from various ethnicities,, South Asian, Chinese, various European, Russian etc. That's my own observation.

    According to his Twitter, the OP is/was a Parliamentary Candidate. Can't expect a budding politician to provide you with any evidence. Just do as they tell you :rotfl:


    OP is confused in life. Lib Dem candidate but Erdogan fan. Turkish nationalist but retweeting Kurdish propaganda.

    Can the Revolut card can be linked up to Curve? (for the added incentive of top-ups counting as purchases instead of cash advance/withdrawals). Also, does it offer recurring/auto top-ups rather than me having to load it up each time? Looks like a good card, especially for abroad. Is it really 9 days for delivery?

    Thanks in advance! :beer:

    Yes you can add it to Curve :) What do you mean by top-ups counting as purchases? I'm intrigued.

    I'm unsure on the delivery time for Revolut, thought it was about a week but i got it a year ago. Beware there is a delivery fee of £5 for the card, but if you sign up with my link you get £10 free. I can't post it here as I'm new, but PM me if you want.
