    Currency exchange rates and fees

    Sending money internationally often involves 2 different currencies: the currency you’re using to pay for the transfer and your recipient's currency. Before you send money to Germany from abroad in a currency that's different from your recipient's, check our exchange rate in-app. This shows you how much the amount you enter in your currency is worth in your recipient's currency. You may also pay an additional currency exchange fee, depending on your plan, the amount you're sending, and the time of your transfer.
    • If your transfer amount is within your plan’s limit, you won't pay any additional currency exchange fees on weekdays.
    • You'll pay a 1% fee on all currency exchanges during the weekend, regardless of your payment type or plan.
    • If you're over your monthly exchange allowance, you'll pay an additional fair usage fee, depending on your plan (1% for the Standard plan and 0.5% for the Plus plan). There are no fair usage fees with our Premium, Metal, and Ultra plans.

    Transfer fees

    Depending on the transfer method you choose, you may also pay a small transfer fee. This is the amount we charge to process your transfer.
    • Bank transfers
    • You may pay a small bank transfer fee when you send money to Germany. You'll get discounts on these fees with our Premium, Metal, and Ultra plans. External banks may charge non-Revolut transfer fees that we can't foresee.
    • Card transfers
    • You'll pay a small card transfer fee when you send money to someone using their card details. The amount will depend on how much money you're transferring and where you're sending from.
    • Revolut-to-Revolut transfers
    • You won't pay any fees when you send money online to other Revolut accounts.
  • With Revolut, receiving money is just as easy as sending it. To receive international transfers, select the currency account you'd like the incoming transfer to go to, tap the SWIFT tab to find your details, and give the sender those details. Other Revolut customers can also send money directly to your Revolut account in 36 currencies.
