Pros and cons

Revolut AU

Pros

  • Currencies held number 30, well above the site median of 5 for the set.
  • A savings balance paying 4% at a variable rate, against a site median of 3%.

Cons

  • Deposit protection is listed as FSCS up to GBP 85,000, and the licence type is e money rather than a bank licence.
  • The savings rate is variable, so the 4% figure can move.
  • Transfer pricing is uneven: free in SEPA, discounted on paid plans elsewhere, and free on Ultra worldwide.

Skrill

Pros

  • The monthly fee is €0, the same as Starling Personal Account Debit Card at £0, so the wallet costs nothing to keep open.
  • The stated audience covers expats, travelers and business, so expats, travellers and businesses are the groups the service is built around.
  • 47 currencies sit in one wallet, well above the site median of 5.

Cons

  • An exchange rate mark-up of 4.99% can be added to international transfers on top of the fee.
  • The currency conversion fee ranking puts it at 297 out of 312, so exchange is the weak spot.

Revolut AU

What is the monthly fee on Revolut AU?+

The monthly fee is £0, and the account sits in the no monthly fee and low fx model. It ranks 1 of 500 brands on monthly fee, matching the site median of €0, so nothing is deducted for holding the account.

How much does it cost to change currency?+

Currency conversion costs 0% to 1% across 30 currencies. The upper end of that range sits near the everyday-account maximum of 3.99%, so frequent conversion is the line to watch in the pricing.

Skrill

How much does it cost to keep a Skrill account?+

The monthly fee is €0 and the account is sold as no monthly fee, so holding the wallet costs nothing each month. A bank transfer through Skrill Money Transfer is free, while a transfer to another Skrill wallet takes a fee set on the amount sent and an international transfer can cost more.

Converting between currencies costs 3.99%, and an exchange rate mark-up of 4.99% can apply on international transfers on top. AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito lists 0% for conversion and XTB lists 0.5%, so a wallet holding a single currency costs far less to change.
