Funny how I've been first in the waitlist since 2 days ago, but I see the no. of people in the waitlist behind me keep decreasing.

Revolut's exchange rate are so much better than YouTrip.

As of 4th Sep 1104


1SGD: 0.7197 USD- Revolut
1SGD : 0.7176 USD - YouTrip

Revolut also have a niche feature to auto convert at the rate that you set.

Actually that's a minor difference, some credit cards rewards can cover this minor difference.

revolut is a full digital bank in euro. hopefully the deposit/ withdraw banking experience is cheap and good..

and also, their debit card seems like catering to travellers. so it's comparable with all those travel prepaid cards.

am still in the Q. the RHB one you said has 2.8% or fees? is it for ATM withdrawals only, or for everything during conversion, overseas spend etc?

There's no real need to use this to fund interactive brokers, since IB does 0% fx fees.

For MCO, yes.

0% FX doesn't mean a good conversion rate. The thing with these guys is that they use the exact interbank exchange rates, so you are guaranteed the best rate in that instant. I used to use these guys in Europe and their features are amazing (better than anything I've seen here). Really pissed because they made me sign up for SG waitlist - still 10k ahead of me.

My friend just got on and it looks like they are launching here with p2p, cross-border, and premium accounts. Metal has another waiting list :/

Dunno what's the big deal with that queuing system. Probably to create hype/MGM but i think it's dumb.

Already launched but still need to queue. I've been in the queue since 2 years ago. Got notified a few days back but I don't see any good benefits.

Just received my normal card today, while still in the queue for metal.

Stuck at daily top up limit of $400.

So why didn't you keep your Europe card?

 

[fun4life]

received the email to set up my Revolut account. Just using my mobile Nr. to login then can liao? but how come still asking me to fill the name and addres etc etc, like to start from the very begining. Is this the case to setup? maybe I messed up my mobile Nr during application (which was quite long time ago)?

any bro can guide how to setup?

Do you have to upgrade and pay for the 12-month Metal subscription to join in the waitlist Metal card? Does the 12-month Metal subscription start while ur waiting for the Metal card?

cross border transfer is something that Youtrip and alike can’t provide. You have to have a bank license to use Swift directly.

Other than that, really nothing special.

probably a marketing gimmick

Haven’t received any confirmation. 1st in the queue for the longest time... my interest is wearing off, slowly but surely

 

[Verbatin]

Yar I was 1st in the queue since 1 Sep 2019. Got off the waitlist yesterday and created my account. So 1.5 weeks sounds abt right.
