How can I properly compare paying abroad with my own bank versus using Revolut for it?
For example, I know that I will spend 1500 euro worth of payments, mainly through physical card payments in stores, in the UK. I am from The Netherlands. My bank account is set in euro's and obviously in the UK it'll be paid in GBP.
Revolut should be a very good way to pay in foreign currencies but I am not able to determine what the difference would be. There is currency exchange rates, currency exchange fees, payment in foreign currency surcharge, perhaps Revolut subscription fees. Is this everything I need to take into account?
Revolut EUR-GBP exchange rate
ING GBP-EUR exchange rate
Revolut fees
ING fees
Do you know how much power it uses?
