so If I gt USD credit card

I have to convert on myside then I can top up?

no need. i’ve recently topped up my revolut account using my thai account debit card directly. just that before confirming the top up there will be a prompt tell you that your card is not in sgd.

revolut not meant to obtain cash advances by continuously cycling thru card top-ups. this will be triggered in system. there are rules revolut got to play by ear in order to operate their licenses here.

did you topup than transfer to bank account?
Just topped up 10xS$20, then got banned... The S$200 is still in the Revolut account. And I only had S$200 in my Revolut account.

A CSO told me to transfer this S$200 to my bank account, then they would close my account.

Maybe is the multiple times of small amounts?
I do $1k or $2k also no issues.

Now that FAST transfer is available, i wonder if i can transfer funds to Revolut and then periodically send funds back to my Malaysian bank account like once a month? Will it get flagged like those credit card top up abuse? Essentially i don't have to go thru physical money changer anymore if that's allowable. Best forex rate with zero transfer fee.

This method was suggested to me by Revolut. Because my account was flagged for large sums transfer to Malaysia for my in-laws... So I guess it should be fine. I also agree Revolut offers best rate to MY currently.

Not sure why they will flag when the Payment Services Act means that everyone based in Singapore can only do up to 30k of third-party transfers. :s22:
