A REVOLUT debit card to reduce your banking fees<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the major concerns for a traveller or digital nomad is to be able to withdraw cash during his\/her travels without ruining himself\/herself and by regularly withdrawing modest sums to avoid carrying too much money with him\/her. The REVOLUT debit card addresses this concern.<\/p>\n

I ordered the REVOLUT CARD in March 2019 with a delivery cost of 5.99 Euros and used it in Madagascar in July and August of the same year to withdraw cash. This is a Mastercard debit card.<\/p>\n

I was pleasantly surprised to see the low exchange fees charged for withdrawals, as you will see on the attached screenshots.<\/p>\n

At that time the rate was about 4100 MGA (local Malagasy currency) for one Euro, with a variation of a few MGA during my stay.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that for a relatively stable price in July and August 2019 for withdrawals of MGA 200,000, commissions remained relatively low on each transaction.<\/p>\n

Travellers who are used to using their usual cards will be able to compare easily.<\/p>\n

The Revolut credit card is simple, easy and fast to use from the mobile application (Android). I have tested it in Belgium, France and Madagascar and I have been able to verify with the greatest satisfaction its obvious interest for a traveller.<\/p>\n

Revolut, allows you to limit your bank charges abroad!<\/span><\/h2>\n

The problem of traveling abroad outside the Euro zone is mainly the high costs. Between 3 euros and 8 euros for each transaction for most banks.<\/p>\n

If like me when you regularly travel, you pay a bank fee for each payment or withdrawal, then my experience may interest you.<\/p>\n

The REVOLUT card remains an inexpensive alternative solution to avoid high bank charges abroad.<\/p>\n

What is the Revolut card?<\/span><\/h2>\n
