Revolut - Shop Globally with Zero Fees

Just want to share something short and sweet today. If you're a frequent traveller or are going to overseas using Pounds / Euro / USD then you should consider applying for this travelling credit card. It's like a prepaid credit card that you can use overseas for shopping and paying. It gives you the best exchange rates so you don't lose out without any extra fees (except for wherein your bank charges for that). A more detail information can be read from https://revolut.com.

Sign up is free now after you download the app (google / android). You can see your virtual Revolut card on the app but if you would like a physical one to use at outlets you can apply with just a click. They'll send it to you free internationally. I applied for it and it took 1/2 a month to reach me.

My boyfriend uses this to pay for almost anything - online / Uber / Tesco / shopping. Just upload money from your bank onto Revolut, and use it to pay while abroad. Transfers are instant between Revolut users. My bf tested this and I successfully received British Pounds (wahhahaha). I can withdraw the money from atm bank or use Revolut to shop (it's a Mastercard). No extra fees and via best exchange rates given. I was worried about it being a scam but so far our experience is good.

This is really good for expats or those with foreign currency money (pounds, euros, usd) to use in Asia. It beats using your own credit card or bank withdrawal where you lose out on the poor rates given. Maybank, CIMB gives a shitty rate imho when I withdraw or exchange money. Hong Leong bank is so far one of the best when it comes to withdrawing foreign $$ from atm in Malaysia.

I think in Asia there should be upcoming similar travel credit cards revolutionising travelling and shopping.
