How much did you transfer? I tried to transfer 5USD to test water previously but it did not go through. Received the full amount back in my Revolut account though. According to Revolut support, the amount I transferred was too low such that the fees will take everything away so the transfer just...bounced instead.
I tried USD 2. This is also for testing before I make a bigger transfer. Funds were returned after one week as it was unsuccessful. According to SCB, there is no such receipt. I saw the swift details from Revolut, the charges are shared so I will not be able to receive the full amount as approximately USD 20 charges might be deducted.

Are you also trying to use Revolut to fund your USD share purchases? Cos that was what I was trying to do but seems like no way to bypass SCB forex rates at the moment..

I just tried in JB Maybank last Sat before 8 am. Was successful, and remember to select 'Savings account' instead of 'current account' or 'credit card'.....

When I returned to SG, I received a 'welcome back' msg from Revolut. Hahaha

Ya tried again. But now they restrict withdrawal. Only withdraw 100+ sgd and then reached the limit already. Can't believe it. So many types of limits every now and then.

For SCB’s case, I still need to transfer SGD to my USD account and let them convert using their FX rates. I have SGD account with them as well. This sucks.

I plan to withdraw RM 600 a month (ie S$200). Hopefully that is too low for Revolut to limit my account......

I'm doing transfers to my foreign bank account. Quick. Good exchange rate. No fees. Getting some CC points. Better than transferwise. Trying to ramp up to 9K per month. How long before my account gets limited?

Hooray! Your identity has been successfully verified and deposit limits have been lifted. Welcome to a radically better account!

Withdrew from Maybank ATM in JB without any fees. I selected Current Account and did not encounter any issues. Exchange rate was good.

Does anyone know if it is possible to send money to someone overseas who has an overseas Revolut account and card? Is it instant and are there any fees? Thanks.

I used the card to TOP up NETS before. But just tried to top up again, it failed and shows “This transaction was declined due to security reasons”. Anyone facing this issue before?

Hmm, I tried again with same NETS card and other CC. Top up successfully.
But not for Revolut. Same error message.

I think I read somewhere you can't keep making transactions at the same merchant. You need to have transactions at other merchants to reset their "security limits".
