I think he means the per transaction limit of then €30 which has now been increased €50. Doesn’t matter when or how often you use it.

I'd say it was but was in a busy pub so I'd say they didn't cop

Aye every so often revolut makes you type in the pin, not sure if its the same with other cards. 

I use google pay a lot now with the virtual revolut card. Very handy and I don't think there is a limit.

It happened to me paying into a football game a year ago. Showed up as declined and never taken afterwards

Have they sent you an email on the additional charges? I never got anything

There were rumours of them closing a couple of months ago and I reckon a lot of people took their money out and panicked, so they might be struggling now with less cash on their balance sheet
I dont email the count anymore, its been 9 months : ( He even sent me a YBIG scarf for my Birthday

The key changes are:

  • To give you more peace of mind, we’re adding more detail in our terms about how we “safeguard” your money. 
  • You know that sinking feeling you get when you pay someone and moments later realise you put the wrong account details in? We’re addressing this by introducing an ability for our support teams to reverse some mistaken payments made into Revolut accounts.
  • As you probably know, if you exchange more than our free exchange limit in a month, you pay a fee. This limit is decreasing to £1,000 each month (which, our research shows, most of you won’t hit anyway). Above that limit, our fee will stay the same at just 0.5%, and we’ll let you know if an exchange will be subject to a fee. Our Premium and Metal plans still have unlimited exchange, as they always have.
  • You will continue to enjoy the same interbank exchange rates on weekdays. For exchanges at the weekend, we’re slightly increasing our mark-up for major currencies from 0.5% to 1%, to cover our risks when the market moves (as it has a bit recently). The mark-up for other currencies is staying the same – see the full list here. (Remember, you can avoid this fee completely by making an exchange on weekdays.)
  • Our most popular payment types, such as payments to Revolut users, domestic transfers and Euro transfers within the Single Euro Payments Area are remaining free. If you make any other transfer to an account outside of your country, your first payment each month is also remaining free, but after that there will be a fee of 50p per payment.
  • If you make a transfer to a country that is not in its national currency, there will be a fee of £3 for USD transfers (like US Dollars to Brazil) or £5 for non-USD transfers (like GB Pounds to Brazil.) We’ll always let you know beforehand if a transfer you are about to make will incur a fee.

So only impacts people doing large amount of foreign exchange, or foreign exchange at the weekend yeah?

That'll have zero impact on me anyway, and 99% of users I'd imagine

Exchanging on revolut - top up card, exchange, minimal fees

In a bank - Travel to bank, take out cash if needed, give a weeks notice for any currency that isn't USD or GBP, travel home from bank with a wad of cash which is less secure than a card, go back to the bank a a week later if its not GBP or USD, fees approx 10%.

Not sure how the bank is less complicated!

And try passing money from your UK account to a Euro/ USD current account. It’s easier than PayPal.

or you could just transfer online from any bank! Bar lodging cash or even rarer a cheque I'd never have a reason to go to a branch.

That doesn't impact foreign exchange though, which is what I was on about? 

Even for transferring cash, its much, much quicker on revolut, just need their number and you're off, no faffing about with codes, logging in etc, tis done in ten seconds

Revolut far quicker and handier than any banking app I've used. Even logging in with face ID versus the codes etc needed for BOI app for example. BOI doesn't support Google/Apple pay which I use all of the time through Revolut. Streets ahead of Irish banks

You can send foreign currency online from traditional banks. No doubt that the Revoult app is much slicker. You still have to log into it but probably done via finger print on the phone so seamless.
