Nope.
I've been using them for over a year now, and I have to admit, it's one of the best servces I've ever used. Fast transfer times, cheap transfers and good change rates between currencies. Recommended.
I use it about half year ago. Im very satisfied with that support, we live in Hungary and Slovakia, so we need always exchange money. This is the besy way to exchange money lowest price!
Is there any register welfare?
Revolut has better rates, but it's far easier to get money into TransferWise than revolut.
So far so good with both.
I have used Transferwise and Revolut. I can recommend both.
They are great using them since years. But since Revolut comes up I switched some of the transactions and like the accounts you get with them. But you can't do anything wrong with transferwise. Even larger amounts over 40.000€ works fine and fast.
Transferwise is a great service, hassle free and lightning fast.
Used transferwise in the past but switched to revolut which has less fees.
I used Transferwise Borderless to receive a wire transfer, exchange it, and transfer it to my bank account recently. Had zero problems and it was fast. If their rates were a slightly bit better I'd use them all the time, but a currency exchange I use is better in that regard so Transferwise ends up costing more.
I too have Revolut, but it looks like I can't ask anyone from USA to send me a payment, other than to send me in EUR, not in USD it seems.
Also, what if someone sends me a payment using Revolut, do I automatically get it in the debit card? Will I be able to withdraw it in the ATM?
BTW would be great if Transferwise had a debit card too that'd allow you to withdraw using ATM's.

Which one is the fastest in EU? Transferwise or Revolut? I thought Transferwise had the best rates tbh.
My bank charged me 14,50€ for transferring funds to Revolut.
Like 1k? more? Was that expensive considering the amount you transferred?
I recall reading that as part of the Borderless offering they want to do a debit card so it's probably in the pipeline.
The revolut card will use your available balance - so if someone sends a payment to your personal IBAN or UK number, you'll be able to withdraw it, convert it or withdraw it in a bank transfer as soon as received.
What you can do is send the USD to your TransferWise borderless account, then convert it to EUR or GBP to send to revolut.
I believe a TransferWise card is planned, but I'm not sure when it will come.
Interesting...
I see, that makes sense. Thing is, I'd like to receive payments in the revolut and withdraw with my revolut card, I guess that's possible?....
Something like Skrill, looks like people can pay you and you can withdraw immediately on an ATM? Same applies to payoneer for example.
Problem is the revolut USD top up method in EU/UK does not work from US accounts - they expect a routing code and account number, whereas revolut gives you an iban. So if you want to top up using USD from a US account, you'll need to convert it elsewhere (e.g. TransferWise)
If you're paying in Euros or GBP, you should be ok going straight to revolut. If the source account isn't in your name, the payment has to go to your personal account number rather than the generic number + reference number.
Makes sense. My goal here is to be paid straight to the revolut so I can withdraw from ATM's, e.g: domain names, paid in Euros, want to be able to withdraw it immediately. Looks like it's not immediate at least. While payoneer/skrill is IIRC.
For 45€!
Damn, that was super expensive!!!
Used it, does what it says on the tin. Can sometimes be awkward when proxying 'reference numbers' through them.
Yes using it too! Love their step by step process to send money
I use them - they're super cheap and fast.
If only they would allow withdrawing from their USD accounts to non-usd, because of that I'm having to go with Revolut/Amizo for my day to day transfers.
