Exchange rate
Revolut offers competitive rates for currency exchange. These variable rates are set based on data from multiple independent sources.
How to check the exchange rate
You can view the current currency exchange rates on our website or within the Revolut app:
- Go to 'Home' on the bottom menu
- Scroll down until you see 'Add widgets' or 'Widgets' (if they're already activated)
- Click 'Add widgets' or the plus (+) symbol
- Scroll down and click 'Rates'
- Choose the size of the widget and click on 'Edit widget' to add preferred currencies and confirm
- Tap on 'Add widget' and you'll see the new widget in your 'Home' page
- You'll be able to add more currencies, by tapping on 'Rates' and 'Add to watchlist'
Why are the buy and sell prices different?
It's normal that the sell and buy prices are different. The difference between the two rates is called a spread.
Where possible, the rate, any fee, and the total cost will be shown to you in-app before you make an exchange (e.g. for in-app exchanges or sending a transfer). For card purchases or ATM withdrawals requiring real-time currency exchange, you’ll be able to view the breakdown of the total cost within the app after the transaction.
My exchange rate is wrong
Exchange rates are determined based on currency exchange market data feeds that we get from a range of different independent sources. Depending on your plan, you'll have a monthly allowance of exchanges without Revolut fees. Read this FAQ to learn about free usage limits and weekend mark up fees.
The rate and potential fees can be reviewed before completing an exchange from the app or when making a transfer.
