Paypal keeps raising their fees and its gotten pretty bad for some currency conversions too so I signed up for another payment service recommended by a few members called Revolut

Its pretty much mobile only but typically no fees

Revtag is @cpushack (or use my phone number or I think email)

It would be good to add this to the sticky FAQ. I doubt I'm the only member who doesn't have a device it is compatible with (just connected my not so smart phone to wifi, and it told me there isn't a version of the app for my device. Phone has made it higher on my list of priority upgrades Smile )

I will update the FAQs to add it shortly

Good idea and I'm in to it too. Just registered and learning how to use.

"Pretty much mobile only" means unusable without some Mobile App? Is someone here able to use all the features needed (fund balance from Bank or other source then send to @cpushack) to pay Avicc only using a Web Browser on Windows/Linux?
Can the account be funded with a National Bank Transfer/Sepa, or a Credit Card is needed?

I've been unable to set it up in a browser on my PC. Don't think it's possible (although it may be possible using something like Bluestacks, I haven't tried that). I have plans to buy a better (cheap but more compatible) phone sometime before Easter though, so for me it's not a massive issue.

Yes you can but I don't know how it looks from Switzerland. For example I cann't charge funds from my credit card because Revolut seems to do not support 3D secure verification system Sad I have to charge it over bank wire transfer but that will be a problem for USD currency. My Revolut sub-account is in Lithuania.

Thanks for the replies, then it looks like it makes little sense for me to create an account for now, which is of course unfortunate regarding the PayPal Fees.
I would rather have Avicc accepting Bitcoin/Lightning Network payments (without intermediates like CoinBase or so)...

I have made first charge of Revolut account. No problem with SEPA bank transfer. After that I have exchanged EUR to USD on very good rates and sent to AVICC without fees. Receipt wasn't charged by fees too. I know about exchange limit for free account about ~ 1250 USD per month so for now that is brilliant option for me.

Does not seem to support China Sad
Probably because Alipay and WeChat are very popular and completely free in China, no other payment methods are needed.

I have now added Payoneer for Payment as well
It uses my email l address and charges a flat $1.50 for me to move money from it to my bank

Having 3 payment methods complicates my end of year tax work a lot but should help save AVICC members hard earned cash Very Happy
