Revolut UK transferred funds to HSBC UK (DEBIT) charged a fee

 I transferred £15 to my friend from my revolut card UK to her HSBC UK debit account. However she only got £14.83. and it seems like HSBC UK took a fee. Why is this?

Debit account.   Did you mean current account?

Apologies yes

Did you transfer it using Faster Payments (sort code and account number), or did you give Revolut their 16 digit card number? I believe Revolut levy a small fee for transfers where you use the card number.

If your pal had a Revolut account then the transfer from yours to theirs would have been fee-free. The fee levied depends on how your pal decided to receive the cash. A personal faster payment (where you have the account number etc) is also free.

It's almost certainly Revolut that's charged you - using debit or credit cards incurs costs and probably passed it on.
