Revolut cash card

nuffznuff

Just few notes to warn those considering acquiring one:
* Be warned that buying a Revolut card is about the same as booking a flight on Ryanair - upgrade options are very large and obvious, standard options are small and discreet.
* VERY EASY to select upgrade by mistake @ £6.99/mth (offers lots of benefits, but none that I can use for a short trip to Spain).
* Will allow currency exchange in virtual currencies (I personally don't trust virtual currenies)
* Required photos of myself, front and back of driving license
* Allow 14 calendar days for card to arrive
* Card costs £4.99 (as warned by MSE website).
* The good news is that the exchange rate (GBP > EUR) is market rate, not tourist rate. (at time of writing, 1 GBP = 1.11 EUR on Revolut, 1=1.09 on the high street)

I just paid £1.54 in charges to add £120.00 to my revolut card from my debit card, Friday am. I can't see the charging structure on the Revolut website. Does any understand the revolut top up fees?

Is the debit card of a UK bank account, or other?

Was the fee amount shown when proceeding with the top-up?
