How to avoid ATM and bank transfer fees

 

Wherever you're traveling, having quick and secure access to your cash can be tricky and expensive. Wise and Revolut banking apps make it easy and safe to access your cash, with little to no ATM fees compared to traditional banking.

Both apps are available for Apple and Android smartphones and connect to your phones wallets. After you download the app, simply take a photo of a government-issued ID to verify your identity. You can now start your smartphone's online account. You will now pick which one of your bank accounts to securely connect to your Wise or Revolut smartphone. This is how you will securely transfer money from your preferred bank account to the Wise or Revolut app on your smartphone. Now your phone's wallet can be used to make purchases instantly. All the purchases and transfers you make are visible on the Wise or Revolut apps.

With both Wise and Revolut, you can order physical debit cards through the mail to your billing address. This typically takes 7 to 10 business days. Once the card arrives, simply make a purchase using the card and pin you have established on the app. Now your debit card is ready to be used internationally with little to no service fees.
