yeah I’m rethinking the usage of revolut, too… I never looked at it as replacement for a bank-account, but as a “prepaid-creditcard with benefits”, as I’m always a little conservative in the beginning…
Unfortunatly, I was right again.
Also, they claim these changes in rasing fees (for Swiss customers) and starting to charge if a card is non EEA-issue shall be due to PSD2. Well, my mainbank in CH said “as soon one of the involved partys is within PSD2-Area, PSD2 rules apply” (would mean: NO charges for CC-payments)…
But as the PSD2-thing is still “newly implemented”, I’ll give revolut (and the other banks) the benefit of the doubt, while I’m using the R-card also within CH (where my swiss CC has better conditions), to bring the amount of money I paid on my revolut-account down… Just to be on the safe side…
(Revolut, with these fee-issues, became totally unreliable to me; trust is earned, not given…) :-/
