Revolut
Revolut is a feature-packed money super-app combining multi-currency accounts, travel-friendly cards, crypto, stocks and budgeting in one place. Free plans offer mid-market FX on weekdays with monthly limits, while paid tiers remove weekend surcharges and add perks. Its breadth is unmatched, though support quality and weekend FX fees are common gripes.
Pros
- Mid-market FX on weekdays with generous free limits
- Budgeting, crypto, stocks, savings in one app
- Strong travel and multi-currency card
Contras
- Weekend FX surcharge and limits on free plans
- Best features locked behind paid tiers
- Support is chat-only and can be slow
Curve
Curve is a London-based smart card that consolidates all your existing debit and credit cards into one Mastercard and app, with a standout "Go Back in Time" feature to retroactively switch a payment's funding card. Its free Curve Pay plan includes only £/€250 of fee-free FX a month and adds a 1.5% weekend fee, so its best travel value sits in the paid tiers. An overlay layer rather than a bank or transfer account.
Pros
- Combine all cards into one card & app
- No FX fee on paid plans up to high monthly allowances
- "Go Back in Time" to switch a payment's card
Contras
- Free plan: 2.99% FX above £/€250 a month plus 1.5% at weekends
- Not a transfer/IBAN account — overlay only
- Best features behind paid plans
En resumen
En conjunto, Revolut se adelanta con una puntuación de 4.4 frente a 3.8, pero la elección correcta depende de tus prioridades. Compara ambos según tu país y tu caso de uso antes de decidir.
