All about Revolut

I haven’t been charged for my topup of 20 francs 5 days ago with cumulus mastercard. Tried today with more money, will see if they charge or not…

I am charged for top ups since 30.12.2019. I did 3 top ups since then and was charged “1.5% Gebühr CHF Zahlung im Ausland”. The last time where I was not charged was on 14.12.2019.

That is weird, I did 4 top ups between 25.12.2019 and 06.01.2020 and none of them was charged anything extra, although it clearly states “GBR” and should therefore be considered CHF abroad.

I loaded 30 CHF yesterday with M-Cumulus and around 200 CHF last week and wasn’t charged.

Maybe the charge is above a certain amount?

Yes, Revolut is surely a non-CH (cross-broder) charge … so it would be quite normal to see some fees for that.

Just checked my online Cembra Cumulus card account and neither a small CHF upload nor the 1k upload were charged… They were made in 2020

I just tried to top up Revolut with my M-Cumulus and it seems fine to me.

arjuno · January 18, 2020, 2:21pm

I think I made too many small and repetitive top ups and got somehow flagged…

I confirm that cumulus also charged me with 1.5% for doing a chf-to-chf transfer to outside the country! :(( I find it quite bad… but ok, will only do IBAN transfers in future then…
Maybe some of you did not notice it since it’s registered as a separate line in the bill and marked with something like “transaction in CHF (abroad)”…

I just got busted too. Too bad, the instant top-up was too convenient but I’ll fall back to regular wire transfers.

Cortana · January 23, 2020, 12:11pm

Why not just get a real creditcard?

San_Francisco · January 23, 2020, 5:24pm

I‘m sure they do have one.

The reason is points and miles.
And cross-border/FX fees with „real“ Swiss credit cards.

Cortana · January 23, 2020, 10:18pm

I mean for using Revolut.

Sirob · January 24, 2020, 7:51am

I got busted too since last week. Too bad.

I’ll go back to wire transfers. There goes another chance of earning points on the MCumulus credit card.

Polo · January 24, 2020, 8:18am

And it was easy money too bad
Still not been charged, possible they progress in any order ?

Tino · January 24, 2020, 11:32am

Probably they apply as soon as they read this forum and identify the people using the system to win points in Cumulus

omoyano · February 6, 2020, 8:25am

Same problem. Cumulus charge fees to me when top up in revolut
Fuck…finish

omoyano · February 6, 2020, 8:31am

yes…I just got busted too

Koala07swiss · February 8, 2020, 4:19pm

I have the same problem but it is officially a MISTAKE, Revolut will repay the fees and the situation will be OK. Everything will be OK soon. No fees (official information yesterday by phone)

omoyano · February 8, 2020, 5:53pm

Repay? Are you sure ?
The fees has collected by Cembra not Revolut
