Anyone with experiences of using Revolut in Vietnam?

Ok, this is becoming even more funny.

Tonight I tried to pay for my hotel in Vietnam in VND. The Revolut transaction was refused, so I had to pay with my Curve card.

Guess what? Curve was substantially cheaper.

@anon33247966, any explanation for this? I know Revolut is supposed to charge the real time rate. But remember that Curve applies a 1% commission on the official MasterCard rate…

P.S.: I forgot to mention that Curve offers free 200£ ATM withdrawal, the same as the “new” Revolut policy.
