Revolut

Because Revolut charges extra outside of non trading hours. For SGD-AUD pair, what is the trading hours?

I tried doing a bank transfer. The app says "Activate your card by making a purchase in-store".

I went to 7-11 to purchase something. I slot the card into the machine, but it did not ask me for my PIN. So I am just wondering how does one "activate" the card by using PIN at a store?

I used it like you did and even though didn’t have to key in pin it was activated

My card works, the money is subtracted.

However, when I tried to do a bank transfer in Revolut App (e.g. bank transfer to a local bank), it still shows the message "Please activate your card by making a chip transaction in-store."

So I wonder what I need to do in order to being allowed to do a bank transfer.

I just tried that and it works, although I have to wait a few days for funds to come in

Wondering this myself...

Went to topup my ez-link card yesterday, select Credit/Decit card, slot the card into the reader and the transaction just went thru without asking for my PIN.

in sg we dont practise insert card + pin but overseas need use pin

as long as you insert card transaction = activate liao

Tried topping up my Singtel Dash Wallet via Credit/Debit Card after the ex-link card transaction and the transaction was also declined.

So doubt it was activated

 

[silverbomb]

dash requires 3DS, so your txn will fail now.

Actually using Paywave first also got "activated".

I'm curious to know if you will get charged any fees.

Cuz I was informed by Revolut support staff that all Revolut Singapore account transfers are via SWIFT (aka Telegraphic Transfer) and will not use SEPA even if in EUR ansd to/from SEPA-supported countries.

Based on the respective bank's list of fees and charges, it seems that most local banks charge S$10 for SGD incoming TT transfers (i.e. via SWIFT). Only a few banks (CIMB, Citibank, ICBC) do not charge fee for incoming TT.

I transferred into my DBS account. Came in as GIRO (ie ACH) transfer. No additional fees but took 2 working days.

FX trading happens 24 hrs on weekdays. Weekend is non trading hours.

That's good to hear, despite being contrary to what the support staff said.

Has anyone tried transferring money into MCO using Revolut?

The MCO SG Telegram chat says can transfer in, no fees so better than Transferwise/Instarem for now.

Need to setup SGD fiat wallet in MCO app with UK as Bank Country and send to business in Revolut app.

Me too, I used paywave as first transaction also activated.

Does using your Revolut card overseas on weekends incur additional fees?
