Both Maybank and CIMB ATM no fee for me 2 weeks ago.

So you finally inserted your Revolut card the correct way into the ATM already?

How do all of you top up revolut (since topping up via debit/credit cards are chargeable)? Tried transfer from bank option and it leads to banking log in links for eGIRO arrangement.

When i got my account, i setup the egiro and linked it with a account that has less than 500 SGD and left it like that ever since.
Account topup also via the egiro as i found it convenient.

Is there any minimum limit to top up via egiro and does it allow top up only when needed? Sorry asking such as I'm planning to link it to a less than $1 account.. scared there could be bank charges if there's insufficient fund during auto top up.

Thanks in advance..

From what i am shown,

Min - $0.01
Max - My limit that i set during the initial egiro setup of 1K

So once the egiro is linked, when you need to top up, you just type in the amount and click on "Continue" and it will say something along the lines of "please wait for 24hs before your fund appears".

Realistically, it is quite fast and you shouldnt need 24hs as i just topup 0.01 and it appear instantly, maybe for larger sums?

For your case, just top up once you are sure the funds in the bank are sufficient? I have not tried having topping up more than what i have.


You should also look at revolut FAQ on this.
https://help.revolut.com/en-SG/help/app-features/linking-external-bank-accounts/

And also maybe drop a message to revolut to ask them about this so at least you have an official answer

Just link it to your bank acct. Top up or withdraw when needed.

If you are talking about topping up from the app, min is $20.

The "add money" to Revolut app has option like Googlepay and linked bank.
1) Are both topup via Googlepay and linked bank free?
2) I saw my local linked bank info has the BIC/SWIFT code in the detail, so Revolut top up via SWIFT and not FAST?

Never tried gpay but likely it is through linked bank or paynow.
I am using linked bank since it is an eGiro which makes it easier to top-up the acount.
Should be free till the bank or mas mandates a charge? Not sure about this.

Same. I see my linked account has the BIC/SWIFT. Not sure tho.

Hi guys,
Now that JPY rates are good. I wondering can I top up SGD into my revolut and exchange it for JPY and hold the JPY inside?

But i'll still be using the card like when i go malaysia and top up SGD and it auto converts to MYR.
If like tat, will they touch the funds in JPY?

Thanks in advance!

If you have enough SGD, it won’t touch your JPY.

How do I withdraw to my linked bank account for free?

FAQ seems to say by "Payment"->"+" -> "Bank Recipient" -> fill in bank detail information . However, I saw this entry field for "BIC/SWIFT" I hesitated. Will there be a Telegraphic transfer fee imposed then? Or is there any other shortcut for free withdrawal to linkedl bank?

In my case, should I input the SWIFT code for my linked POSB bank as DBSSSGSG?

Yes, it's free actually and will show up as GIRO payment in your bank account.
