Revolut, a global fintech with over 55 million customers, just launched eSIMs and global data plans for its 1.5 million Portuguese customers. This move marks a significant step into the telecommunications space.
The eSIMs work with most Apple and Android 4G/5G smartphones. Customers can install them directly through the Revolut app, without needing any additional apps or a physical SIM card. Once installed, they can buy data wherever they go, with prices starting at 1.50€ per 1GB. Several data plans are available, ranging from 1GB to 20GB.
What’s in it for customers?
For Revolut Ultra customers, the eSIM comes with a new benefit: 3GB of mobile data to use in over 100 countries, renewed every month. This is especially useful since roaming data costs have increased over the years, and rates for countries outside Europe are often not included in standard benefits.
The eSIM also lets customers use the Revolut app without consuming their mobile data. If a customer lands in a new country without data access, they can still access their Revolut app and use all its features, including buying more data.
