Is using Revolut the best option in Prague?

Bouncerus

Hi all, I'm going away to Prague next week for a week long holiday.

I will primarily be using Revolut there with it's physical card. I'm not taking my main Natwest card, but will transfer money into Revolut there if I run out. I just have a few queries 

I just have bog standard GBP in the Revolut card at the moment. Is it wise to have Czech Korona in my Revolut account? How does this even work if I wanted to do this? Would I have to make a new Revolut account?

I'm worried that my card could be nicked, and all the money spent in my revolut account via contactless. Does Revolut have a saving account sort of feature, where I could transfer small amounts of money in the current account as and when needed?

p.s: Is it worth contacting both Natwest and Revolut and letting them I'll be in Prague?

Why not, you should never rely on a single source of funds when traveling. Obtain another card such as Starling Bank if you want to avoid NatWest fees.

Familiarise yourself with how Revolut works to avoid problems (and having to deal with their scarce customer services), and all your questions are answered in their FAQs. No need to inform them of your travel.
