Travel insurance for Australian costumers ?

Looks like we don’t have travel insurance as one of our benefits ?

IS this going to change ?

Alison Banney Finder

December 02, 2022

Hi Gavin,

Since you have reached Finder, a comparison site, we can’t say for sure when Revolut will start offering travel insurance to their Australian users. It would be best to contact them directly to confirm it. If you have an existing Revolut account, you can reach out to them via in-app chat in the Revolut App through your Profile (circle in the upper left corner) -> Help -> New chat.

Thanks,

Alison

Can I transfer funds from Commonwealth Bank app to Revolut AUD account via bank transfer? What fees are included apart from the sender’s bank? Thanks!

Ash

February 27, 2020

Hi Jean,

Thank you for contacting Finder.

Yes, you may transfer funds using your Commonwealth Bank app to your Revolut AUD account. In transferring funds, make sure that the destination currency on your Revolut account is the default currency of your Commonwealth Bank account. For example AUD to AUD transfer.

There will be a $6 fee for every transaction for transferring funds using the Commonwealth Bank app.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ash
