Do you have a banking app on your phone. If you have his account number you can transfer though your app.

I have an IBAN and a BIC … 🤷‍♀️

Will your gift be in GBP (£)? If so, using his Revolut GBP account sort code and account number will be simpler and more suitable, certainly fee-free by faster payment.

As for those who say that they have no problems using their Revolut accounts, when any problems do arise their customer services for resolving them are notoriously dire with a basic (free) Revolut account.

They’re in Sweden…

Ask for their Revolut GBP account details. You can send them GBP the same as you would any other UK resident (sort code + account number). They can then use the Revolut themselves to convert the GBP to SEK if they wish

I suggest the same, assuming that a non-UK Revolut account provides the sort code + account number for GBP as usual (not IBAN) - do you know whether that's the case..?

Only got IBAN unfortunately 

Perhaps your reluctance to clarify is due to not wanting to spoil the surprise of your gift. But sending GBP to a Revolut SEK account from your bank is likely to cause costs and problems, also for your son. So perhaps it's best if you just buy a couple of Swedish krona banknotes at a bureau de change and mail them to him.

Sending cash in the post is really a terrible suggestion.

OP should be able to find out what currency his grandson's account is in without giving away that he wants to send him some money.

When I was a student in a shared house we went through a load of the old mail at one point to send it back to people and deal with a debt collector for a previous student, one we found was a whole load of cash in an envelope that had been misdelivered to us, we were fortunately able to reunite it with the student who still lived at the correct address, just shows the danger of cash in post

True, far from ideal, especially these days with availability of methods that cost nothing, or at least less than the cost of postage - my suggestion provoked by the apparent lack of answers to simple questions.

But I would never suggest something that I would not be prepared to do myself, if the occasion did arise. In the past I did sometimes mail a banknote or two internationally, always successfully, but postal reliability is no doubt diminished these days.

How would you suggest someone enquire about account details without signalling intention to send money..?

I've had a Revolut account since they began but rarely use it any more. There is the facility to send funds instantly to other Revolut users in your contact list, presumably to their correct currency wallet, a possible solution if OP were to set up a Revolut account.

By the way, I see that they now offer an international data eSIM for roaming, if anyone would care to try it:

I would have thought a grandad would find a way to find out from his grandson, or from the grandson's parents. After all, he already got as far as knowing the IBAN
