Cheap money transfer FAQs
When you're trying to find the cheapest way to send money abroad, there are two types of costs you should keep an eye out for: currency exchange fees and transfer fees.
Currency exchange rates and fees
Sending money internationally often involves two different currencies: the currency you’re using to pay for the transfer and your recipient's currency. Before you send money in a currency that's different from your recipient's, check our exchange rate in-app. This shows you how much the amount you enter in your currency is worth in your recipient's currency.
You may also pay a currency exchange fee, depending on your plan, the amount you're sending, and the time of your transfer.
- You may pay a weekend fee between 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) Friday and 6 p.m. EST Sunday, depending on your plan.
- If you're over your monthly exchange allowance, you'll pay an additional fair usage fee on our Standard and Plus plans. There are no fair usage fees with our Premium and Metal plans.
Transfer fees
Depending on the transfer method you choose, you may also pay a small transfer fee. This is the amount we charge to process your transfer.
- Bank transfers
- Revolut-to-Revolut transfers
You'll see a small transfer fee calculated in real-time before you transfer. You'll get discounts on these fees with our Premium, Metal, and Ultra plans. External banks may charge non-Revolut transfer fees that we can't foresee.
You won't pay any transfer fees when you send money online to other Revolut accounts.
While it may be tempting to choose the cheapest money transfer service out there, do your research and choose respected providers with proven security measures in place.
At Revolut, we prioritize keeping your money transfers safe as well as affordable. We use two-factor authentication to make sure you're the only one who can log in to your account, and we'll send you anti-fraud warnings in-app if we suspect that a transfer may be a scam. We also protect your personal data with our full-stack security systems.
Additionally, we use other security methods that vary depending on the Revolut entity you're registered to.
