From my experiences, any transaction also work. Just remember to switch on the contact less option if you intend to pay by contactless.

Revolut allows free atm withdrawal overseas and bank transfer for unutilized funds

Anything above $350 attracts a 2% markup.

If need to withdraw more than $350 cash, perhaps try youtrip? Just for rough calculate, let's face off Youtrip $5 withdrawal fee with 2% markup of revolut: so one needs to withdraw $250 SGD (2% * 250 = $5) from youtrip to "absorb" the $5 fee, assuming revolut fx rates are worse than youtrip by 2%, after the first $350. Anything less than $250 withdrawal, revolut will still have better rates despite the 2% markup.


Or try thin margin? They deliver the cash to your home.

When i add beneficiary in revolut, there is no option to choose, they just prompt me to enter bank and SWIFT code.

is there a option to select so we can avoid incoming funds via TT?

thanks for explanation.

will consider thinmargin if I want to carry such a big sum for overseas travel.

I actually enjoy swiping youtrip card and don't have the hassle of carrying so much cash with me. however, not all places will accept CC.
