I tried to add Kuna to my list of accounts so I can avoid the ’ weekend fx fee ’ but can’t see it on the list. Is it not possible to do this ?
And, having had this problem, can someone confirm that at the least I can use the Revolut card in Croatia and get a decent exchange rate during the week.
I was very impressed with the Revolut card…it performed as advertised, pretty flawlessly.
I received the correct exchange rate on all the card transactions. On the weekend it was higher, as expected, but still much better than any alternative.
I used the card to get cash from ATMs and again received the correct exchange rate. Of course, it became a higher exchange rate after I had taken the max ( which, if I recall is 2 or 300 euros equivalent ). I was careful only to use ATMs at branches of bigger banks and avoided hole in the walls not associated with a bank.
CS119, I just got back from Zagreb. No issues with the card but during the weekend I switched to using my TransferWise debit card to avoid the weekend surcharge.
Summary - it’s fine to use Monday-Friday but for the weekend you want to have a better option (even withdrawing cash in advance if necessary).
