Revolut is much more than a travel card or money transfer service. The innovative Revolut app lets you manage your salary, transactions, budget, savings, and more, all on the same app. In this guide, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about using Revolut in Canada.
Revolut began as a cheaper and easier way to send and request money worldwide (both to other Revolut users and bank accounts). However, over the years, Revolut has expanded significantly, becoming everyone’s favorite go-to app for money management.
Along with sending and receiving money, you can now use the app’s budgeting tools, unlimited disposable virtual cards for safer online shopping, and much more.
It takes just a few minutes to open a Revolut account, and you can do it directly from your smartphone. You simply input your details and upload valid identification if needed. Check out the link for detailed instructions.
Use your card as you would with any other card. – Withdraw money from ATMs – Pay for goods in person – Pay for goods online We suggest you pay in CAD when you have the option. You’ll pay less for conversions and fees.
Revolut may not be for everyone. - It is difficult to speak with an actual person if you have issues. - They do not have any physical branches. - Customers on the paid plans get priority in the in-app chat.
Revolut doesn’t pressure you to buy a paid plan, so you can try it out and then upgrade to the additional features if you feel they are helpful. I personally have the metal plan, and I’m very happy with it.
