What is Revolut?

Revolut is a UK based online bank, complete with app and debit card. Their ethos is to be one app for all things money. Therefore it includes things such as:

  • Easy money management
  • Travel perks
  • Savings
  • Investments
  • Money transfers
  • And more

However the focus of this article will be the Revolut Card and its most beneficial use case.

How Does The Revolut Card Work?

The Revolut app on your phone can be used for virtual payments, and you also get a physical card. The benefit of Revolut is that you can switch between multiple currencies within your account…

…this means that you will no longer have to line up for currency exchanges at the airport whilst travelling!

You can simply transfer your GBP for Thai Baht or Japanese Yen etc within your easy-to-use Revolut account, and pay just like you would with a debit card.

Final Thoughts on Revolut…

Revolut's card and app are great for travel convenience. Being able to switch your money between currencies to save on exchange rates is very beneficial. However, for receiving freelance pay or online teaching pay, more frequently used alternatives are Payoneer or Wise.
