Converting USD to GBP with Revolut
Converting US Dollars to British Pounds is a common requirement for travelers, international students, and individuals managing cross-border finances between the United States and the United Kingdom.
Revolut allows users to convert USD to GBP via in-app exchange or by using their card for payments abroad. The exchange rate is dynamic and based on the foreign exchange market. While there is no maximum amount you can exchange, your plan type determines your fair usage limits and potential fees. Exchanges are processed instantly, but users should always verify the total cost displayed in the app before confirming a transaction.
On weekdays, exchanges within your plan's fair usage limit incur no additional fees. If you exceed your monthly allowance, a fair usage fee applies (typically 1% for Standard and 0.5% for Plus plans). Exchanges made during weekend hours—defined as 5:00 p.m. Friday to 6:00 p.m. Sunday (ET)—incur a weekend mark-up fee for Standard (1%) and Plus (0.5%) users, while Premium, Metal, and Ultra plans are exempt from these weekend charges.
Best for: This currency pair is best suited for individuals living or traveling between the US and the UK, as well as those who need to send money to UK-based accounts or make frequent purchases in British Pounds.

Questions
Are there fees for converting USD to GBP on weekends?
Yes, if you are on a Standard or Plus plan, you will be charged a weekend mark-up fee for exchanges made between 5:00 p.m. Friday and 6:00 p.m. Sunday (ET). Premium, Metal, and Ultra plan holders do not pay this fee.
What is a fair usage limit?
A fair usage limit is a monthly threshold for currency exchanges. If your total exchange volume exceeds this limit, you will be charged an additional fee based on your specific plan.
Can I avoid transfer fees when sending money to the UK?
You may be able to avoid certain fees by using a Revolut-to-Revolut transfer if the recipient also has a Revolut account, as this allows you to send supported currencies without needing a conversion.
How can I check my current exchange limits?
You can track your remaining fair usage allowance and view your current plan details at any time by navigating to the 'Your plan' section within your Revolut profile in the app.
