Revolut are now charging a fee if I want to make a card transaction to fund my account -_-
It is only like 1% for now, but why aren't they just keeping it free?

Dang, they might eventually become as greedy as PayPal...
Now, with that fee, their 0% Currency Conversion is just useless...

Pure Crypto is the real solution... No company holding your funds in hostage or adding more and more arbitrary fees at any time and regularly...

I'm charging my Revolut account by bank transfer from beginning because Revolut doesn't support 3D-secure protection from credit cards.

My Revolut credit card fund load is free , but credit card issuer take such use as “cash advance”,it triggers cash advance fee of 3%, a separate charge to the credit card. “Cash advance” is to use credit card access to cash rather than goods or service, such as withdrawal cash, gambling, etc

So I’d rather use bank transfer (free) to load the fund.

But as I said when crypto is regulated and become easy to use, it is a good avenue to make international payments.

So paying to @CpuShack will (usually) be charged 5%?

Or is it only about Bank/Iban Transfers?

I may be in wrong but that looks like bank transfers fees. Not between Revolut accounts but we will see.
From April news I found that fee for currency exchange will rise since 7th June from 0,5% to 1% for users who exceed 5000PLN~1150 USD in one month. Propably you have different limits in your countries.
