How does Revolut’s foreign exchange work and when might weekend markups apply?

Revolut offers competitive FX rates, typically close to interbank, within your monthly allowance. On weekends or illiquid hours, a small markup can apply to protect against market gaps. You’ll always see the rate and any fees before confirming an exchange.

What are the differences between Standard, Plus, Premium, and Metal plans?

All plans include the core account, card, and app features. Paid tiers raise fee-free FX and ATM limits, add travel and purchase perks, and offer faster support. Metal has the highest limits and extra benefits. Pricing and availability vary by region—check in-app.

Can I use Revolut for international bank transfers and how long do they take?

Yes. You can send to bank accounts worldwide in supported currencies. Transfers to Revolut users are instant; bank transfers vary by corridor, usually same day to a few days. Fees and delivery estimates are shown transparently before you hit send.

How secure are Revolut cards and what controls do I have in the app?

You can freeze/unfreeze cards instantly, toggle contactless, ATM, and online payments, set geolocation security, and generate disposable virtual cards. Two-factor authentication and continuous monitoring help prevent fraud and notify you of suspicious activity.

Does Revolut support Apple Pay and Google Pay and are there any limits?

Yes, most cards can be added to Apple Pay and Google Pay for tap-to-pay. Standard card and plan limits still apply, and some countries may have wallet-specific restrictions. You’ll see any limits or regional exclusions during setup in the app.

"Used Revolut across Portugal and Spain—great FX rates and instant card notifications. Split bills with friends easily and the virtual card felt safer for hotel holds. Only gripe: weekend FX markup caught me once."

"Salary hits my Revolut each month, then I move funds to Vaults. Analytics categorize spend better than my old bank. Apple Pay setup was seamless and ATM withdrawals abroad worked within my plan limits."

"Single-use virtual cards are brilliant for trial subscriptions. I froze my physical card after misplacing it, then unfroze when found—took seconds. Support chat replied in under 10 minutes on Premium."

"Sent euros to my landlord in Italy and GBP to a UK freelancer with clear fees shown upfront. Transfers to other Revolut users are instant which is convenient for group trips and shared taxis."

"Metal card perks paid off on a long-haul to Tokyo—lounge access and better FX allowance. Push notifications on every spend help me keep a lid on impulse buys. Overall the app feels very polished."

"Moved money to family in Mexico and the delivery estimate was spot on. Great rate compared to my bank. Wish the monthly free ATM limit was a little higher, but the transparency is appreciated."
