Revolut has changed the MCC code for top-up transactions, and your bank might charge fees for these type of transactions, especially if you have a credit card.
It was 6012 (Financial institutions merchandise and services) before, and they changed it to 4829(Wire Transfer - Money Orders).

The above MCC info retrieved from another website. I think it is for MasterCard. Not sure if the MCC above is correct. Anyone able to tell from the MCC number alone if cashback/miles applicable ?

That is why Revolut don't allow cash withdrawal thru ATM within Singapore. Youtrip is the same.

This is because of Payment Services Act.

Just test yourself with DBS and you will have the most accurate answer: https://milelion.com/2019/04/18/dbs...ides-mccs-and-rewards-points-per-transaction/

For visa, was still 6012. These few days, there is a "change" in their payment method. MCC for visa still 6012, after this new "change"?

Revolut mentioned that they will cover the excess costs by crediting the amount to your Revolut account in due course.

did they inform? Via email or APP notification?

In the "notification" about the new payment method. Not sure how would they know the fees, esp if one top up from google pay (would the merchant know the card issuer, and card type)?

I have one card issuer that have varying FX fees for different cards.

I surmise that the previous transaction could be handled by wirecard and nw they are changing to another service provider due to the saga.
