Forums Payment cards Other payment cards Revolut – purchasing/holding currencies other than the main featured currencies

  • 949 posts

    Hello,

    I have just seen a way to purchase currencies in Revolut other than the primary featured currencies (such as EUR/USD/CAD etc).

    Out of interest, where do they get stored if you can’t ‘Add an account’ in the usual way such as the EUR/USD/CAD?

    Is the currency available for spending on Revolut cards as normal, or is this just a trading account of some sort?

    TIA

    I’m pretty sure you get an account just like the ‘main featured currencies’. I haven’t seen that term – so I don’t know if it includes CHF, which I can confirm acts just like the ones you cite.

    CHF is one of Revolut’s featured currency accounts, so I am clear on how that works.

    I’m talking about currencies that are not featured currency accounts, like Uzbekistan Sum, for example.

    If I bought UZS in Revolut for example, where would it sit, and I would I be able to use my card as usual to spend it?
