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.

Vorteile

  • Mid-market FX on weekdays with generous free limits
  • Budgeting, crypto, stocks, savings in one app
  • Strong travel and multi-currency card

Nachteile

  • Weekend FX surcharge and limits on free plans
  • Best features locked behind paid tiers
  • Support is chat-only and can be slow

Google Wallet

Google Wallet is the default Android tap-to-pay app, free to use in the countries on Google's supported list, storing payment cards alongside transit, loyalty and event passes. It charges no fee of its own, deferring to your card's terms, but sending money to friends is only offered in India and Singapore. The natural everyday wallet for Android users.

Vorteile

  • Free to use — Google charges no fee
  • Stores cards, transit, loyalty & event passes
  • Tokenized payments for added security

Nachteile

  • No own account or balance in most markets
  • Sending money to friends only in India and Singapore

Insgesamt liegt Revolut mit einer Bewertung von 4.4 gegenüber 4.3 knapp vorn — doch die richtige Wahl hängt von deinen Prioritäten ab. Prüfe beide für dein Land und deinen Einsatzzweck, bevor du dich entscheidest.
