I think its about time I reviewed Revolut – the revolutionary way to instantly send and spend money globally. This isn’t a sponsored post, but rather a complimentary shout out to an initiative that has transformed the way I spend my money abroad.
Previously, I would carry part-cash and the rest on my bank card and of course this would incur additional bank charges of around £3 per transaction. I also wasn’t prepared to pay for a bank account, such as those from Nationwide, that provide these extras.
