I did, the courses are short and questions are easy.
Also tried to buy abit for fun, navigation is relatively smooth but charges are high at 2.5%.

dun think so, topup by grabpay mastercard reflected as topup by credit card in Revolut

Thanks for the reply! Then I guess I shall just stick to topping up via bank transfer.

Why? What is the difference? I always use a credit card. When I still had some of my $30K limit available I always used GPMC so I could get 1.7% back via UOB Amex. I use a credit card so if Revolut doesn't perform I can at least try to get the CC company to do something, whereas with a bank transfer there is zero recourse.

This is for the Oct 2022 public transport campaign. One of the requirements is this: "top up your Revolut account with a minimum sum of S$300 during the Campaign Period (by bank transfer from your own account and such account must match your given name or debit card top up). For the avoidance of doubt, credit card top ups are not eligible".

Tried last month. Maybank and HSBC both no fees. Remember to select "without conversion". If not you get the lousy bank rate.

just to add ... CIMB ATM in MY also no withdrawal fees .. between MB & CIMB, shld hv enuf ATMs around

Got an alert from Revolut titled verify source of funds, to provide income & bank statement evidence, likely because I made quite hefty payments over past week where I was adding via credit cards & xfer out to bank for advance payments w/o interest. Anybody receive this before? I think it is to check for money laundering.

For the bank statement requirements, not exactly sure what Revolut needs. It stated provide bank statement showing my name, amount of payment. date of payment, sender account holder name & sender account details.
Am using credit card to add money & then xfer back to my bank account. To show my bank account statement + recent transactions from Revolut or it needs to show income credited into my bank account from salary..etc?

Curious to know hich CC did you use for 0% cash advance?

To verify source of funds, they probably want the CC statements from which you did the deposit from and the bank account statement showing the payments made to the CC.

Using own credit card to add money & then xfer back to own bank account. If both under same name, I think account will be flag and ban if keep repeating.

Just provide any document needed if not your money maybe frozen inside forever

Account going to be blocked, base on previous posts.

Has anyone tried getting VAT refund back on Revolut?

 

[devion]

So if xfer to another person locally will not be an issue? I guess my very high amount of top ups & transfers have been flagged. Their email title stated to verify source of funds though, not about warning..etc. Wonder if rest who got their acct suspended receive the same email as me.
I actually managed to transfer the remaining balance out of my Revolut account after receiving this message, but dare not top up further. Have uploaded some income details, so will see how it goes.

I got the verify source of funds last week. I never transfer to a local bank account. I grudgingly sent them a payslip and bank statement showing it being deposited. They verified it within 3 hours. I really don't like sending these fintechs so much personal information. Also Revolut can't just keep your funds - they may make it very difficult to get them back but keeping them isn't an option. And if you used a credit card you can try to ask for a charge back if Revolut isn't willing to play ball.
