20 BGN (10 EUR) in BG, maybe in markets where they want to increase user mass the award to be bigger? (as I see Poland is quite high in the chart)
Thatâs plausible but itâs still disappointing that Polish users get offered less than half what anyone else does.

The Austria figure is now 18 months out of date. Wonder where theyâre at now.
Can we remember that theyâre going to give an amount relevant to the country you live in?
10⏠here can buy you less than the equivalent in PLN, so youâre actually getting similar if not a better deal than I am (considering I spent over that on a single small dish at an okay restaurant in Paris) since your cost of living is lower.
People need to stop looking for things to complain about. Donât do the conversion.
Just look at how much you can buy with 20PLN. Thatâs like a kebab, of which Iâd pay 8-9⏠for here.

But that is not true, the big variation between Sweden and Denmark is not in any way related to the general price level in the two countriesâŚ
I donât think prices in Sweden are 4 times higher than in Poland either to be honest, Sweden only has about 30 000 
users however while Poland has more than ½ a milion. This is probably the true reason behind the differences.

I donât know about those two countries - but I imagine in general this was what theyâre playing around with
I imagine itâs probably closer to 4x than 1-2x though to be fair - Nordics are very expensive in comparison to Poland
Oh no, Poland is cheaper than sweden for certain but in no way 1/4 of the prices, even half prices would be enough to raise an eye brow.
I think revolut is âpayingâ for growth in markets with low customer base. Countries with a big customer base will have better organic growth due to word by mouth.
Unfortunately Swedes are very reluctant to move to a new bank over all, many have the same account and bank Mom and Dad once opened for them in their childhood.

Except that theyâre not doing that at all. 300 CZK (11.60EUR) and 20 BGN (10EUR) destroys the argument that itâs based on PPP (purchasing power parity). Bulgaria is significantly cheaper than Poland but Poland gets a much lower referral than anywhere else in CEE.
Apart from places like Norway and Switzerland, Poland is not massively cheaper than many western countries unless you stick to the basic essentials (bread, beer, fruit and veg) and avoid anything thatâs imported. Things like clothes and electronics I can almost always buy better and cheaper in the UK (especially name brands). Obviously real estate values are lower but day-to-day expenses and bills etc are not as low as you might think.

Absolutely true. Yet people who have never lived in Poland (or at least in the big cities) seem to massively overestimate how cheap it is to live here.
yes it is cheaper than Poland for sure.

I wonder what is the reason Scandinavian countries have fewer users in general compared for example of south countries 
Like Malta have more users of them combined

Ireland 4th spot with 310 000
Iâm still somewhat surprised that France have that high user base
