French inheritance law: what US heirs need to know
Learn how French inheritance law affects US heirs, including the 2021 reform, inheritance tax, filing deadlines, property transfers and key US reporting.
Revolut® offers three personal account plans and four business plans for US customers, so you can choose an account based on how you spend, exchange and send money.1
The fees and limits you get depend on your plan. Standard has no monthly subscription fee, while Premium and Metal charge monthly fees in exchange for higher allowances and additional benefits.
This guide explains the main Revolut fees for US customers and compares them with another multi-currency account option: Wise. Wise is a non-bank alternative with flexible multi-currency features, mid-market exchange rates and transparent fees.
The fees you pay depend on your Revolut plan. Standard has no monthly subscription fee, but its allowances for services such as out-of-network ATM withdrawals and currency exchange are lower.
Premium and Metal charge monthly subscription fees and offer higher allowances for some services. Revolut’s fees can also vary by transaction type, currency and payment route, so check the applicable plan terms before making a transfer.
| Service | Standard account fees2 | Premium account fees3 | Metal account fees4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | $0 | $9.99 per month | $16.99 per month |
| In-network ATM withdrawals | No Revolut fee | No Revolut fee | No Revolut fee |
| Out-of-network ATM withdrawals | 2% on all withdrawals | $800 per month with no Revolut fee, then 2% | $1,200 per month with no Revolut fee, then 2% |
| Currency exchange during market hours | $1,000 per month with no additional exchange fee, then 0.5% | $10,000 per month with no additional exchange fee, then 0.5% | Unlimited with no additional exchange fee |
| Currency exchange outside market hours | 1% | No additional exchange fee | No additional exchange fee |
| International transfers | Fees vary by transfer route; the full applicable fee may apply | 20% discount on Standard pricing for SWIFT transfers | 40% discount on Standard pricing for SWIFT transfers |
Third-party ATM operators may charge their own fees, even when Revolut does not charge an additional fee.1
Revolut says it uses a market-based exchange rate that includes a markup. The total cost of a conversion depends on your plan, the amount you have already exchanged during the monthly allowance and when you make the conversion.1
During market hours, Standard and Premium customers can exchange up to their plan allowance before a 0.5% fair-usage fee applies. Metal customers have unlimited exchange with no additional exchange fee under the published plan comparison.234
| Plan | Monthly exchange allowance | Fee after allowance |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $1,000 | 0.5% fair-usage fee |
| Premium | $10,000 | 0.5% fair-usage fee |
| Metal | Unlimited | No additional exchange fee |
Revolut’s published market-hours period runs from 5 pm on Friday to 6 pm on Sunday, Eastern Time. Standard customers may pay a 1% weekend exchange fee. The current US plan comparison lists no additional weekend exchange fee for Premium or Metal customers.1

Yes. As we’ve seen, the costs of maintaining and using a Revolut account depends on the plan you have. Standard accounts have no monthly fee, but have lower no-fee transaction limits compared to Premium or Metal.
That can mean that if you have a Standard plan and transact with Revolut regularly, you end up paying more than you’d have to if you upgraded your account. The key is to work out whether the difference in the monthly fee is worth the additional no-fee transactions and the extra benefits you can unlock.
Here is a simplified example of how plan fees can differ. Suppose two customers each withdraw $1,000 in foreign currency from out-of-network ATMs during one month and have not used their allowances earlier in the month.
| Plan | Revolut Standard | Revolut Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | $0 | $9.99 |
| Currency exchange on $1,000 | Within the $1,000 monthly allowance: no additional exchange fee | Within the $10,000 monthly allowance: no additional exchange fee |
| Out-of-network ATM withdrawal | 2% of $1,000 = $20 | First $800 with no Revolut fee; 2% of remaining $200 = $4 |
| Estimated Revolut fees for this activity | $20 | $13.99 including the monthly plan fee |
This example is for illustration only. Your result may differ depending on your previous exchange and withdrawal activity, the ATM operator’s fee and the type of transfer or conversion.
Business account fees from Revolut are different to personal fees. You’ll be able to pick from account plans called Basic, Grow, Scale or Enterprise.
Enterprise plans are entirely customizable, so we’ve not included them in our Revolut business fee comparison. As with personal accounts, you can pick the plan that works best for your needs based on the number and type of transactions you’ll be making.
Here’s a look at some of the key fees involved in different Revolut Business account tiers. Check through the account options, features and fees to make sure you’re picking the right one for your business.
| Service | Basic account fees5 | Grow account fees5 | Scale account fees5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | From $10 per month | From $40 per month | From $140 per month |
| Exchange allowance at the interbank rate | $1,000 per month | $20,000 per month | $80,000 per month |
| Exchange fee after allowance | 0.6%; 1% outside market hours | 0.6%; 1% outside market hours | 0.6%; 1% outside market hours |
| No-fee local transfers | 10 per month | 100 per month | 1,000 per month |
| No-fee international transfers | None | 5 per month | 25 per month |
| Fee for international transfers outside allowance | $5 per transfer | $5 per transfer | $5 per transfer |
| ATM withdrawals | 2% | 2% | 2% |
You may be able to reduce fees by choosing a plan that matches your activity and staying within the relevant exchange and ATM allowances.
Digital account providers like Revolut are often cheaper to use overall compared to banks, as they have lower overheads and are able to pass these low costs on to their customers.
They’ve also been built to meet specific customer needs, which can mean they price services more competitively for things like international payments and transactions - which tend to attract fairly high bank fees.
However, Revolut’s pricing structure can be pretty complicated to navigate with different monthly and transaction fees depending on your account type. Whether it’s the most competitive option out there for your specific needs really depends on the type and volume of transactions you’ll make.
It’s worth comparing Revolut against some other non-bank services, like Wise to see which suits you best.
Wise has account options for both personal and business customers in the US, with straightforward pricing, transparent service fees, and no ongoing charges or minimum balance requirements.
