@PaperTiger, there are several points to be aware of in Brazil:
- There’s almost no need to withdraw cash. You can pay with a card almost everywhere, including many beach vendors.
- If you do need to withdraw a small amount of cash, Revolut will charge you if you withdraw more than £200 or €200 per month. Much more significantly, most Brazilian banks have started charging foreign cards with hefty fees for cash withdrawals. A notable exception is Itaú, Brazil’s largest bank with distinctive bright orange branches.
- If your Revolut card is Visa as opposed to MasterCard, then it will be rejected by most merchants. See: Most merchants in Brazil 🇧🇷 don't accept Revolut Visa cards
- Card cloning happens a lot in Brazil. If Revolut finally releases Apple Pay before your trip (or if you can use Google Pay), then it’s safer to use these as they can’t be cloned.
