Revolut

Have you not heard of MasterCard World Elite? Citi Prestige, OCBC Premier, UOB Lady’s Solitaire Metal.

Prestige 1 card vs a load of visa infinite card. OCBC Premier is a debit card. UOB only char bo can apply. Effectively I only got 1 option (Citi Prestige).

hi, there's no more public transport promotion for revolut starting from today right? can't find in google.

Yeah, I was looking for this too. Can't seem to find it. Only the Oct promo on the revolut website, but they've not said that it's expired (though terms for that state it lasts till 31st Oct only). Could be that the promo has truly ended.

Anyone knows the 30K limit applies to withdrawals made back into own bank account?

 

[xoxozone]

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

So use revolut and withdrawn local currency notes and choose non conversion option right.
I check in the app there is no account can convert to ringgit n keep first ?

since there is confirm a worse conversion rate on weekends, does it make sense to convert to a foreign currency first on weekdays, instead of just allowing the conversion to happen from SGD->Foreign Currency, on weekend?

Is it just top up the account in SG & when u withdraw via ATM in foreign country, it will auto convert the amount u withdraw from your account in SG dollars?
I plan to use this in Bali, hopefully this card can be used in the bank ATMs in Bali,

for IDR, yes as revolut does not have IDR wallet.

if we dun see some currency mean we cannot store eg MYR ?
but we still can scan n pay in MY correct?

For travelling I find Youtrip more user friendly. Their exchange rates seem to be most transparent. Fees are transparent too.

Never feel comfortable with the Revolut app. Even the chat function with the CSO is actually half baked. NONE of my chats with them so far have ended with a resolution, because they keep saying they "need more time" to check.

but we cannot see the xchg rate b4 paying for YT

but UI is good for YT

They have a link to the mastercard exchange rate via their app which shows the 'current' rate. I find it quite useful

Based on my own experience, I have encountered several times on weekends, even with the additional 1% fee, Revolut gives better RM than YouTrip. I personally prefer Revolut for Applepay and $350 fee free withdrawal monthly, but no harm having both and using YouTrip as a backup.

Is it SGD350 free cash withdrawal per month? If exceed this amount, what is the additional cost?
Which are the types of ATMs overseas that allows to withdraw? Intend to use this in Bali next month.
using Rev debit card to make purchases overseas, is it much better than using normal banks credit cards? This is 5K limit per month I presume.
