Unsupported countries and regions?

[NFH]

I was told yesterday that Revolut don’t support the GBP pegged currencies itself (Jersey-Pound, Guernsey-Pound, …). Is it working working for you because all cash machines can work with GBP in that area instead of the local currency??

My standard-currency is EUR so I must be sure that Revolut takes the money from the GBP-Account instead of EUR-Account when I will visit the channel islands next year.

@PhilT, the GIP, JEP, GGP etc codes are used only in wholesale banknote trading. Sometimes you might even see SCP for Scottish banknotes, even though SC is the country ISO code of the Seychelles, not Scotland (which is no more wrong than using BTC for Bitcoin instead of XBT as BT is the country ISO code of Bhutan).

Electronic transactions are always in GBP. And there’s no pegging; these local banknotes and coins are fixed, not pegged, at parity with GBP banknotes and coins.

Thank you so much for your detailed answer!

Hello, I would like to know what are the ATM’s that you recommend in India. When it comes to withdrawal limitation, does that mean you can only withdraw INR 10,000 per day or withdrawal? Thank you in advance for your answers.

I will be travelling there soon, I will post my experiences there.

Hi there,

Does anybody know when it will be possible to register with a Myanmar phone number?
I changed my phone and I cannot log-in on my new phone with my Myanmar phone number …
I initially registered with a French phone number that I asked Revolut to change manually to use my Myanmar phone number. But when I try to log-in on my new phone, amongst hundreds of countries (of which I didn’t even know some of them existed), Myanmar is not an option …

Can I please ask, having successfully used Revolut in Scotland, Ireland, Greece, Qatar and Australia, how do I use it in Kenya? Currently Kenyan Shillings are supported. Do I just load my car with pounds and as I spend it will automatically convert to shillings? I have never travelled somewhere, where the currency isnt supported.

Sorry for the naive Q

[Recchan]

Hello hello

Yep, if you spend in Kenya and pay by card or withdraw cash it will do the conversion automatically

[Siiooo]

Thanks for your reply. So basically top up my card with pounds and it will just convert to shillings?

[NedA]

…but remember you probably get a better rate in the week rather than weekends when fin markets are closed.

[Big-B]

Hi, I’ve used Revolut in Kenya for some years. As long as you have topped up your account Revolut automatically will exchange it to KSH when doing a purchase or withdrawing money. Please make sure you are using a Visa card as MasterCard may not be accepted everywhere. And yes, be mindful with the weekend markup rates.
