I regularly transfer 4 figure sums from sterling to euro with revolut. Their software may put a temporary hold on large transfers until you prove the funds are not from illicit sources.

Can you transfer via the online banking?

That must have changed in the last few years as I used it for a few grand previously.

You can transfer high amounts. Might be a lot of customer verification procedures sending large amounts if your brother opens up a new Revolut account.


It would damage this forums' reputation

Open an Australian Wallet on Revolut and Transfer it directly from the Australian Bank Account as Australian Dollars to Revolut. That's what people do here with UAE Dirhams anyway.

Haven't heard that. Does it work out well? Found that transferring from my UAE account to Revolut and then onto AIB was more expensive than transferring directly from ADCB to AIB.

I haven't actually done it myself but if you search Revolut on the Irish in Dubai Facebook group then a lot of people talk about how to do it.

Is it not done at the wholesale rate? That's certainly the case when transferring from sterling to euro with revolut.

Banks will want their pound of flesh, surprised to hear bank to bank was/is cheaper than revolut.

It's been a 2 or 3 years since I transferred home using Revolut but at the time I was getting charged a fee to transfer to Revolut, while being charged on the transaction by Revolut also (it was about 16e for 1000e, it's now 21e for the same amount). Revolut isn't supported in the UAE so assumed that this was the reason for it being more expensive than bank to bank.

Going despair with this crowd 

Account locked as they are reviewing it because of a fraud case in which my  Revolut was part of it (AIB funds sent to my Revolut account and then sent to the bastard of a scammers account). Top up charge back 

Some nightmare esp having my '£ holiday money' ready to go on my Revolut
Bloody saving up for the past few weeks and all that could be gone now

Heard nightmares reports of people actually physically going to the hq in London to get their accounts back open  and they still refuse. Some fella traveled from France think he had a couple of grand in it and they still refused.

Yeah no prior warning or anything even when I was consulting with them during the investigation of the fraud (have a garda statement) 

One morning woke up and notification from the app saying 'my account is locked and a review is taking place'. My balance also in - and no way in hell can I afford to pay them back 

All there communication is through email/chat and no phone
