Revolut’s free Standard plan gives you £200 per month in fee-free ATM withdrawals. After that, a 2% fee applies to every withdrawal. This £200 limit covers both UK and overseas withdrawals combined. Paid plans increase this allowance rather than removing the cap entirely — Premium gets £400/month, Metal £800/month, and Ultra £2,000/month, each fee-free.
If you regularly need more than £200/month from ATMs, upgrading a tier raises your fee-free allowance — or consider Starling, which offers unlimited free ATM use at no cost.

Revolut ATM Limits by Plan
| Plan | Monthly fee | Fee-free ATM allowance | Fee above limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | £0 | £200/month | 2% |
| Plus | £3.99 | £200/month | 2% |
| Premium | £7.99 | £400/month | 2% |
| Metal | £14.99 | £800/month | 2% |
| Ultra | £55.00 | £2,000/month | 2% |
The free allowance applies to both UK and international withdrawals combined — not separate UK and abroad allowances. Allowances and plan prices change from time to time; always confirm the current figures in the Revolut app under Profile → Plan.
How the 2% Fee Works
Once you exceed your plan’s fee-free allowance within a calendar/rolling month, Revolut charges 2% of the withdrawal amount as a fee. For all Revolut charges across plans, see the Revolut Fees guide.
Example: Standard plan customer, mid-month, has already withdrawn £180. They withdraw another £100.
- £20 of this is within the free allowance (£180 + £20 = £200)
- £80 is above the free limit
- Fee = 2% × £80 = £1.60
Revolut notifies you in the app when you are approaching your free limit.
Single Transaction Limits
Beyond the monthly allowance, individual ATM transactions are subject to per-transaction limits. These vary by plan and are visible in the Revolut app under Card → ATM limits. Typical maximum per transaction is around £300–£500, set by either Revolut or the ATM operator.
You can adjust your daily ATM limit in the app (up to the plan maximum) under Card settings.
Foreign ATM Withdrawals
Revolut’s ATM allowance covers both UK and foreign withdrawals within the same monthly limit. For foreign withdrawals:
- Money is converted at Revolut’s exchange rate — interbank rate on weekdays, interbank + 0.5% at weekends
- No foreign transaction fee on top of the ATM fee
- Always withdraw in the local currency — if the ATM offers to charge in pounds (Dynamic Currency Conversion), decline it. DCC rates are significantly worse than Revolut’s rate.
Revolut vs Monzo vs Starling — ATM Comparison
| Bank | Free ATM monthly limit | Fee above limit | Foreign ATM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revolut Standard | £200 combined | 2% | Same £200 combined limit |
| Revolut Premium | £400 combined | 2% above allowance | Same |
| Revolut Metal | £800 combined | 2% above allowance | Same |
| Revolut Ultra | £2,000 combined | 2% above allowance | Same |
| Monzo Free | 1 free UK withdrawal/month | 3% | £200/month then 3% |
| Monzo Plus (£5/mo) | Unlimited UK | None | £400/month then 3% |
| Starling | Unlimited UK | None | Unlimited (fair use) |
| Chase UK | £500/day UK | None | £500/month then 1.5% |
For free-plan users who mostly use UK ATMs: Starling is clearly superior — genuinely unlimited with no fee. Monzo free is awkward (1 free per month). Revolut Standard’s £200/month limit is adequate for light use.
For frequent travellers: Revolut Premium (£7.99/month) with its £400/month fee-free ATM allowance, or Metal (£14.99/month) with £800/month, compete well with Starling free for heavy travel use — the higher tiers cost less per year than they used to. Revolut is now a licensed UK bank once your account is migrated — see Is Revolut FSCS Protected? for deposit safety details.
Practical Advice
For a full assessment of whether Revolut is worth using as your main account, see the Revolut UK Review 2026.
- Light ATM user (under £200/month): Revolut Standard is fine at no cost
- Moderate to heavy UK ATM user: Use Starling as your primary card — free, unlimited, no thinking required
- Regular international traveller: Revolut Premium/Metal or Starling (both strong options, different cost models)
- Using both: Many users hold Revolut for currency exchange and Starling or Chase for everyday UK ATM access
