Interbank exchange rate = no fees!
But probably something that will save you some money when you have your Mojito on the beach in Brazil 🍹 is no foreign fees! That's right, Revolut use the live interbank exchange rate so that you don't have to worry for extra 3% at the end of your holidays like other banks do. Watch out though as #Revolut will freeze the exchange rate with a small markup during the weekend since foreign markets are closed, so best to exchange your £'s in €'s or one of the 150 currencies* 💲before that! *Yes, good luck to find a currency that is not supported ;)
