Would it be worth contacting your main bank and stopping any payments going to Revolut? Just in case there's a scenario like what was mentioned a few pages ago here, when someone's account was plundered via their Revolut card.

I wonder though as move to more and more transactions using card, will the higher volume make up the profit?

Not likely, credit cards are not used for every day transactions in Ireland.

I'm only using my tablet now. No access to calls.

My account has been blocked because they want me to verify my source of funds. I've submitted my pay slips and bank statements, and am waiting for the outcome. Does anyone know how long it usually takes?

I think you will have to go somewhere asap and make those calls. Time is of the essence. It was reported a few weeks ago that someone lost €1000s in the space of 45 minutes!

I have a question about using Curve and Revolut in tandem

If I want to withdraw cash at an ATM there is a €200 limit for Revolut but there is also a €200 limit on Curve. Does this mean I have €400 of a limit (before fees) when I use my Revolut card thru Curve?

I'll be hoping to use it in Japan when i get there for the rugby.
When I am withdrawing Yen I presume I always should select local currency to get the best rate? Hopefully the ATM over there will have a clear message showing what currency i am selecting

200 on revolut
200 on curve using your revolut (dont withdraw 400 on curve as you will get fees)

Always request local currency

Atm should have English option

Cheers gwalk.

I might set the wife up with a curve card also - she already has a Revolut one. So that will be €800 of ATM withdrawals fee free

One final question - the monthly limit, does that apply per calendar month? In other words does it reset to zero on say 31st October or will it hold for 30 days after the last actual transaction?
I know I could find this somewhere in the T&C's but if anyone knows it offhand it will save me reading those

Anyone else experiencing latest app being incompatible with device? I had to roll back to previous apk which works fine for now,phone is unrooted.

Calendar month. If you go into settings and click on your price plan, it'll show you limits and current usage.

Seems that it's a rolling month, so depends on when you signed up.

Calendar month, so if you're going before October it will reset over there

Hey guys, going to Switzerland in a few days. I assume Revolut (Visa) is all good over there? Would it make any difference to set up a CHF account? I'll be there over the weekend too. Or not much advantage you reckon? (Of course, will be withdrawing fee-free €200 at the ATM for cash)

It’s not calendar month it goes by when you sign up. If you say signed up on the 10th of a month then your rolling month resets again on the 10th of the next month.

You're correct. I could have sworn mine resets at the start of every month but maybe I just signed up around then.

In the app it says 'rolling' month for ATM withdrawals.

If you signed up before 16th March 2017, you'll be calendar.

I used mine over there last December. No problems encountered. I just left my balance in euro.

Totally fine, Visa accepted everywhere unless it’s a tiny shop or very small restaurant.

If you are going to be spending a large amount of money you may as well transfer to CHF during the week, but otherwise your not going to really notice it.

Got an account last Friday, went to the UK Saturday morning and changed what I put in to Sterling. Then linked my virtual card to Google Pay and was amazed at how well it all worked for transactions up to and including £30! Physical card is now in the post for next time when I want to pay for things higher than £30.

Cheers,
M

Mine is calendar month too. I'm 100% sure as I used it abroad at the end of one month and on the 1st of the next for two €200 withdrawals with no charges. It's possible I got mine on the 1st of a month.

Many thanks,

It shouldn't, some merchants are known to disable all contactless payments over 30.
I'm pretty sure I read the limit is €5000

Note that you may need to unlock your phone by pin/fingerprint to pay for transactions above the normal contactless limit. I sometimes get asked by google pay app to unlock phone for larger transactions.

Ie you may need to present your phone to the terminal a second time to complete the transaction after unlocking.

Isn’t it down to the merchant to set the limits of google/Apple Pay?

Maybe it’s just at 30 by default
