Like the way you appreciate the transparency on the websites of this 2 big players, I like the transparency of how you explain things and how you put it in with your real world usage. I am actually using the combination of Revolut Metal and recently Trace Republic card. In my opinion, definitely, the best players in the matter these days! Congrats on again for one more great lesson...

i tried differents currency right now to compare, the change is way better with revolut, maybe for the fact we are on a week day or they changed the rate since this video idk.I think overall revolut is better if you can manage to not convert your money on weeks ends. and we have the option to pay witout contact via our phone for free in most of the countries.And i didn't talk about the vaults interest rate 1%/3%. and monetary funds in inflation economy scenario. keep in mind that we are free to open an account wise in case of emergency on weeks end. Finally why choose, there is no fee like a bank to maintain our account.we can use the best of every option.

My experience with Wise is that exchanging money on the weekend usually means I receive the exchanged money immediately on my European bank account. Even though they say to expect the money on the next business day or so, the longest I have waited was a couple of hours. I use a specific Brazilian transaction where the transaction number is tracked and the whole process is automated and it usually arrives in literally seconds, because there is no need for human interaction.

Hi Kai. Thank you for your videos. What about sending and exchange money between two revolt accounts? E.g exchanging US dollars from one Revolute account to Euro to another Revolute account?

[carlabravoderueda]

Great video! Thanks. What about large amount > 30, 000 euro international transfers using a paid plan with Revolut. Would you advise on either? Also There are lots of reviews saying the money vanishes or is delayed, etc using Revolut. Any advice about what’s the best option?

Hi Kai, how do you spend different currencies on revolut?
I was thinking to create an account and convert that currency before traveling.
Now, it seems that I get only one card. Is there a way to garuntee that I am using the correct currency?

[davidcaetano]

Amazing video as always! I use both as Revolut has no option to convert to several currencies. The trade republic card might also be handy as they don’t charge any conversion rate when shopping worldwide. Keep up with the amazing job! Waiting for more lifestyle videos from the amazing Dubai

I'm using the free plan of both and use them as addons to my traditional bank. For me Wise has more added value because of the better intrest rate on the free plan (3.67% vs 3.09% APY on €). I also enjoy their very fast transaction speeds and the ability to easily get money into IBKR. 😀 If I wouldn't use a traditional bank Revolut would probably take its place. 😉

Even with ultra plan card Revolut not alloud user to top up with credit card but only with debit card also they push people to use card not only to receive and send money but there is no benefice to spend money with them because no miles are earned with Revolut btw

[jacopo]

Interactive brokers is the best also for exchange

[ranotuitam]

Can I send money from Revolut to Wise and from Wise to Revolut?

[somethowawayhandle]

would be great to see how these stack up against the Schwab Debit card

[Fiction]

Revolut doesn't have weekend fees anymore, I exchange stuff on the weekend all the time

[jsmith-pfbt]

wise charges you when you add money to your account with apple pay or debit card

[zombiechew]

Wise charges you to convert but Revolut doesn’t show a charge to convert to a currency
