The question who are you? that you consider other well-meaning comments like @OliverCH to be useless for the whole community? You are certainly better than me in this decision.
The WE also referred to @OliverCH well made suggestion … which you (and therefore the whole community) don’t want to hear.
But you are right … I am actually not allowed to write for @OliverCH. But since he wrote the comment, I think WE (he and I) meant it well.
Also the information that the money in less than 24 hours at Revolut is nobody in the community, then I’m sorry, but who are you that you could decide? Are you the owner of the community?
You are simply solution-resistant.
Use TW or neon.
Or use neon directly abroad without going through Revolut.
If you use NEON as your main account you have the MC course which is not much worse and you have no transfer time. Your money is already in the account.
Fake news? Each KK (NO Fake News) shows in its fee documents fees for foreign transactions in CHF! (search for yourself)
But correct…. Not everyone applies them “right now”! But haha, your F ******* CK! I used to top up tousends of CHF every month via MC… can happen to you again without any prior warning.
So for the rest of the community … the safe way without fee shock is the way via bank transfer.
So, my solution if you still haven’t understood this from my writing:
(Otherwise at least as a help for other comuntity members.)
Use neon without revolut.
Use neon for Revolut
Use KK from UBS UNTIL F ***** CK fee schock after top up tousens of CHF
Use swisscards UNTIL F ***** CK fee schock after top up tousens of CHF
For those who want advice: use bank transfer
For everyone else, use a KK, but don’t be surprised if suddenly fees arise.
Wow dudes, calm down please!!
Can we agree that the answer “use the banktransfer” wasn’t very suitable to “which credit card is still free?”?
Look, for some time now, Revolut does EVERYTHING to make its service hard to use in CH.
So we now face two fractions in this community:
those who are/become annoyed about 's behaviour in Switzerland, and those who are ready to fight to the bitter end for
It’s very simple: as soon the answer is "use your mainbanc (because Revolut isn’t an alternative in CH) to topup Neon or Transferwise (who both recently made some ground againt and are about outmatching Revolut!), so one can top up the revolut-account and use said one as intented, it is a VERY bad (as in “you can’t measure the magnitude of badness”) for Revolut.
Remember the slogan they use? “Beyond banking”?
It’s on Revolut, not the users who ask for “what is still working”! So please those defening -it would be better to - like those who are annoyed about the messed up service - ask Revolut WHY, WHERE and WHEN. Hint: communicates worse than UBS in Switzerland!
@ the-mike: i agree with you in many points, and yes, when asked “which credit card is still free?” it is not a solution.
But the title is still top-up -> working method.
I was still looking for functioning KK when no local bank transfer was possible.
“EVERYTHING to make its service hard to use in CH”
I cannot entirely agree with you here.
from the beginning of 2017 until the introduction of the CH bank transfer, the use was much more arduous:
Changing IBAN from LT to GB
Changing fees for CHF KK top-ups
This has calmed down since the introduction of the CS IBAN (except for the no / name / CH story)
Easy bank transfer
No fee for charging by KK from Revolut.
Seen in this way, revolut has done a lot of things that make it easier for me as a Swiss than in 2017!
Even offering a KK top-up is not really necessary for good service as long as a bank transfer is possible.
In no CH bank can I load my account via KK. As long as the users do not use the pooled account, Revolut does not endeavor to introduce a personal IBAN. Many would continue to KK top up. Only for miles etc.
Apparently Mastercard changed Revolut’s MCC. It was 6012 (Financial institutions merchandise and services) before, and they changed it to 4829 (Wire Transfer - Money Orders).
Idea for free Swiss topup: TWINT (instantaneous, web-based transfers from partner bank accounts)
Another way would be to get a proper IBAN and not a shared IBAN that requires a lot of validation
I just found a charge over 8.50 CHF on my Cembra statement. I have not made any topup with that amount. And strangely the description of the charge is as follows:
“RevolutRevolut Internet CHE"
while regular topups are shown as: "Revolut**xxxxrevolut.com GBR”
I’ve called cembra money bank and they said its not a fee, they have no fees with Revolut at this point. And they offered me to do a charge back, but it would cost me 80.- CHF if it turns out to be a legit transaction. Revolut itself said they don’t see any transaction on my account of that amount.
Any idea what this could be?
