Revolut Metal is the UK digital bank’s premium service offering, rolled out initially to its existing premium clientele. They “only had 10,000 cards up for grabs yesterday, and while we reserved this first batch for our existing Premium customers, the rest of you will get the chance to bag a Metal Card soon,” the company explained.

Exclusivity comes with a cost, however: £12.99 or £120 annually. The card, literally metallic in color and texture, will kick back cryptocurrency on purchases, offer concierge service, higher ATM withdrawal limits around the world, and even travel insurance.

Soon, Commission-Less Trading

The notoriously ambitious financial technology company is largely European centric, with more than 2 million users. It has the distinction of being among the UK’s first digital banks, and one of the only startups in the industry to actually turn a profit. Until its Metal card offering, premium services were £6.99 per month, and very popular. In April, Revolut gobbled up a quarter of a billion dollars in venture capital ahead of its plan to enter markets in Asia and the United States as a commission-less trading platform to compete with the likes of Robinhood.  

CEO Nikolay Storonsky assured, “We are absolutely convinced that Revolut Metal will be the exclusive card of the future, and an absolute must for travelers worldwide. The launch of Revolut Metal is also an important step towards the company generating additional revenue, especially as we prepare to launch a commission-free trading platform and expand the business into North America and Asia later this year.”
