Because of the issues I ran into with Wise this past week, I decided to set up an account with Revolut and start shifting my debit card spending over to Revolut instead. Right now I am on their free Standard plan, but I have been looking into their Metal plan, which costs $17 per month and seems to offer quite a bit. It looks especially useful for people who travel frequently, make a lot of transfers, or rely on ATM withdrawals, since it could potentially save a significant amount on fees. Another interesting perk is that they include access to subscription services like NordVPN and Financial Times as well as others (listed below). If you are already paying for a couple of these subscription services, the monthly fee for the Metal plan could effectively pay for itself. That said, pricing and features vary depending on the country. I set up a US account, so the $17 per month applies there. From what I understand, it costs £15 per month in the UK, though the UK perks are different. There is also a Premium plan in the US for $10 per month, which offers fewer benefits than Metal but still seems like a decent option. I have included a list below of what is offered with the US Metal plan. I am curious if anyone uses one of their paid plans and whether you feel it provides good value.
