Revolut works best if you want transfers inside a broader money app. From the US you can send to bank accounts in 140+ countries, hold and exchange 25+ currencies, and send free to other Revolut users. Its transfer page showed an example $1.50 fee for a bank transfer to Mexico, labeled as illustrative, and the app shows the cost before you confirm. The catch is the plan structure. The Standard plan is $0.00/month but includes $1,000 a month of currency exchange before fair usage fees; Premium at $9.99/month raises that to $10,000 and Metal at $16.99/month removes the cap. Paid plans also cut Revolut's fees on international transfers by 20% or 40%. Exchanges outside foreign exchange market hours carry extra fees, so send on weekdays. For occasional senders under $1,000 a month, the free plan is enough; heavy senders should price in the subscription.
