Itās handy to use for travel and you can have a few accounts for short term savings etc, round up change x3 etc but I wonder about loading too much in there alright
You must have lost a few quid. Got my money this morning.
Gil, at the risk of the usual suspects starting, would it be appropriate for large sums, ie is it safe, and simpler than an fx exchange trader?
Iād be inclined to start with a small sum first.
Yes in theory but donāt use it as weekends for fx conversions as they build in a hedge then.
There is also the worry itās effectively a start up so if it went belly up not clear what would happen or how long to get money back.
Lost nothing yet. Weāre only passing through the Suburbs of Hysteria on this Brexit Train to the City of Gold.
Choo choo
No idea
whats the craic with using your revolut card abroad: is it a lot cheaper than bying at the FX or an post?
and if i use the card at the ATM in dub airport to get dollars, will i be charged more?
CC @gilgamboa
Yeah much cheaper. You get a much better rate on it. Cash withdrawals you can do some but they discourage it by charging a fee after so much per month.
As an aside donāt use it for checking in to a hotel as it locks up pre approved amount for a week but use it pay bill at end. Never use dynamic currency conversion if offered it at hotels etc
tone deaf from the KBC guy here

Gives a insight into the thinking within the Banking Community. This is an annoyance for them and that is much worse than what they inflicted on the people affected by this scandal.
I expect there to be some sort of mealy mouthed apology along the lines of āthe comment was taken out of contextā, āI didnāt mean to cause offenceā or some other bullshit excuse.

Is there any advantage to using revolut for your day to day rather than a normal bank card?
People wont get paid tonight.

40 year old systems that arenāt compatible with each other Iād imagine
