In my opinion, everyone should assume every online service they are using will eventually get hacked one day. Therefore never give them more information than is absolutely necessary, and never reuse any passwords.Are we affected by the data breach?

With all the anti money laundering Know Your Customer regulations all these fintechs require a lot of personal information to open and verify an account. Who knows what they do on the backend. I always keep a $0 balance in them and just transact, that way when they are hacked or suddenly go out of business I hopefully won't lose too much.
A few days ago, I route my USD from my MCA to WISE then to Revolut just to avoid DBS exchange rate.
Due to my poor planning, I transferred more than SGD5k and exceed the daily holding limit in revolut. They auto exchange the difference of usd to sgd and transferred back to my bank account.. got charge 0.5% exchange fair usage fees. Even with wise and revolut fees, its still better than MCA rate in my opinion.
But the next day, my account got flagged to verify source of income.. sighs.. I have provided my savings account and income documents. I've read here accounts do get flagged if high transaction amount. It says I need to verify 22k worth of transaction in revolut.. but when I check my revolut statement, only 19k was transacted in my account. I usually use revolut for US online shopping, transport rebate, jb spend and did change some euro for my upcoming holiday. In between I did credit and debit money for the transport rebate and move my savings around. Hopefully, won't get ban. If not, sian need to travel use Amaze and need find transport rebate alternative. So far, Revolut exchange rate and transport rebate the best, although still uncertain if they are going to extend the transport rebate beyond September.
Considering getting their metal card. But will it make a diff?

seems like nobody uses Revolut for their cashback rewards with their partners? do share your experience if any... I thought some are quite attractive (e.g. NikeSG @ 8% cashback)is anyone using the Revolut card with the merchants they promoting cashback for?
e.g. I'm seeing NikeSG, Watson, Adidas, etc... any special conditions to worry about?

wise usd wallet swift transfer to Revoluthow did you do WISE->REVOLUT USD transfer? SWIFT? any fee?
paid wise fees USD$18+ for $8k - not too sure how they calculate this amount. don't think it's flat rate.
Some say transfer is immediate, but mine reached a few hours later
I like revolut exchange because the rate is good and they have the limit order exchange rate which is good for someone like me who don't monitor often.

need to be new customer?
In order to participate in the Campaign, you must:
- be a user who uses Revolut for the first time from 1 Oct 2022;
furthermore still must spend $500 on their card. too much.
what's the next best rebate system for public transport ah?
SWIFT is slow and with fee.
Depends on your US account. Most US accounts have an incoming wire fee. Revolut goes by amount, above a fixed amount is by swift, below that, is by routing number (ACH). Once cleared on Revolut side, my swift appears on my US account immediately.
I share before. POSB Everyday from 1 Sep - 31 Oct 2022 via Simply Go 5% rebate. Nov 2022 onwards need search again so sianzwhat's the next best rebate system for public transport ah?
Maybe your account is opened somewhere else. For account opened in Singapore, no ACH, only SWIFT for USDDepends on your US account. Most US accounts have an incoming wire fee.
