>>You may soon discover (depending on your jurisdiction) that topping up is no longer an option, because your actual bank starts treating these transactions as cash advances, 3%-4% fee (and trashing your credit rating too)
I may not. In fact, I have no idea what you mean by 'cash advance'. By HN standards I am pennyless, but wouldn't ever dream of spending or withdrawing money that I haven't got.
- angry_octet 7y agoCalm down, I'm not saying you are poor. Banks have started treating top ups as cash advances, even when your account has a positive balance. This has logical sense because you can immediately withdraw that money as cash. For some reason Revolut is unable or unwilling to support normal cash transfer mechanisms.
- interfixus 7y agoOkay, this is news to me. But then, my bank is not a US one. There is no money in my account that I cannot immediately withdraw as cash. That is sort of the whole point of my bank account, except of course it's mandatory if I wish to receive wages for the job I perform... Anyway, call me poor all you like. I actually am.
