Revolut

What are peoples thoughts on Revolut- digital banking . They are advertising purchase/ exchange of cryptocurrency charging only a flat upfrom 1.5% fee as a pose to other platforms which can add anything between 5% - 9%. Has anyone had any experiences of them in this context ? Thanks

    Hi there

    I read this as im trying the system with revolut out, being a monzo user and having had great experiences with prepaid cards I am a fan of what revolut are doing, and I have confidence in them as a business.

    I have put £51 into ETH while it was low and I'm watching it over the coming weeks, I would use it to invest small amounts over short periods to try and earn 7-8%.

    My advice is try it, watch the market with the three crypto coins it supports and when you think you know it... try it out, with small amounts you can afford to loose. In my case one to two weeks beer money, I decided I would either drink beer or send the same money on trying to raise more money.

    In my experience so far its not difficult to earn 6-10% on Etherium if you time it right and invest small stakes the risk is low... I would not throw £10,000 at it, but i might put £1,000 at it if my confidence grows.

    Good luck.
