Hi,
I m occasional user of Revolut, mainly when travelling or a few EU-transfers to my family in France.
I used to top up my Revolut CHF from a Visa credit card in CHF, and then convert. 0 fees from Visa until recently.
Since May, I now get charged 1.5% by Visa on each transaction, as the transaction is now operated by “Revolut London”, considered by Visa a foreign transaction even though currency is CHF.
Contacted Revolut but no answer yet (poor customer service).
So I don t really see the point of continuing using Revolut, if I m anhow getting charged 1.5% by Visa.
So questions I hope you can help me with:
- Anyone would know why it has changed (brexit?)
- Any recommendation to top up your Revolut CHF at no fees? (simply)
- Any alternative to Revolut?
Thanks a lot
Anne
