How does this differ from ? They've been doing the 'multiple currency accounts' thing for over a year or so, and are way ahead in terms of features and infrastructure - banking license in the pipe.
Revolut is too good!
I have used both, and Revolut is definitely cheaper with the Premium subscription (at least if you transfer a couple of thousand dollars per year). Also, I had have to see an UX that beats that of Revolut
Revolut kept having issues with crediting my transactions and made me call back 2 or 3 transactions i sent to myself. Transferwise bank transfers are also a lot faster, in the UK atleast, and found their customer service to be a lot better.
TransferWise is an awesome company. We used to use their service for paying international teammates, saving thousands of $$$. Seems like something might like.

Can't wait to give you a personal invite when we launch Revolut in the U.S. - is already using our service
I would like one too! (I help digital nomads)
Would love to use the revolut in upcoming trips! Are you guys ready to launch in the U.S.? Will appreciate early access.
Hey, we'll be launching in the U.S. in the next months. Go to and join our waiting list. You'll be on of the first to try out our service in the U.S.

The card has not been fully launched yet (you need to have a borderless account, and need to be invited to the beta), but finally also TransferWise is getting ready with a card product. This complements their Borderless account, making TransferWise not only the best way to send money abroad, but also to spend them!

I don't have to worry about having money for whatever country I'm visiting, I know I'll get to pay for my expenses no matter where I am at the best rate I can get.

Pros:

I can use it everywhere, cheaply.

Cons:

Too easy to use, I spend too much money.

It's smooth as butter - I don't even remember I'm not transacting at my home currency anymore when I'm abroad. So transparent it hurts.

Pros:

If you don't have enough balance in specified currency it will use whatever balance you have available which will be cheaper to convert from

Cons:

No BRL balance available yet :(

As a very happy user of Transferwise services (have transferred money to China and Japan from EU with couple clicks and minimal fees last year), this card feels now like a natural next step. Did someone see where you can apply for invite already?
Checked the site, there was the sign-up form for US/EEA residents
Word of caution: Transferwise will literally DELETE your business borderless account overnight without warning or heads up with money still in it if they conclude, at their own discretion, that you do any business related to cryptocurrencies - even if just blockchain development. The money still in the account will either be refunded to customers or sent to your usual destination account, depending on how long it has been in there. Be careful if you're a next gen business.
One of the best service I have been using since 1-1.5 years. Totally hassle free and less charges than any other competitors. Hope you guys support India pretty soon. And to support India if you guys need any help from local people I can be there for you any time :) #Love4Transferwise<3
Shame that this is only available in the US, I see no option to get the card in the UK.

actually the card is only available in the EU & UK for now... but you will need to get an invitation for it (if you have a borderless account, they will be rolled out shortly)

Beta program has started.

Pros:

Saved money when paying abroad

Cons:

None
