Revolut offers lower cross-border fees, fee-free transactions

Revolut Singapore customers can enjoy a competitive rate in cross-border transactions.

While UK-based fintech firm Revolut will be charging its customers the mandatory remittance fees, it promises to make up for it with competitive rates.

In a statement, Revolut said its Standard and Premium plan customers will be charged a cross-border transaction fee of 0.3% of the amount transferred, with a minimum of $0.30 and a maximum of $9. This is lower than the $0.86 to $29.84 fees charged by its competitors.

“Revolut started as an alternative foreign exchange service to help customers save money on transfers and currency exchange rates. If you compare our updated fees and rates against those of
our competitors, you will find that we are still giving customers more for their money,” said Revolut Singapore CEO James Shanahan.

Meanwhile Revolut Metal plan customers will enjoy an unlimited number of fee-free cross-border transfers.

Premium plan customers get one fee-free cross-border transfer per month.

This new fee does not affect Revolut's standing as one of the most competitive providers of remittance services in the market.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
