Don’t you get hit by international fees when using your credit card abroad? As a regular business traveler living in europe, Revolut has saved me a fortune (I even turn a small profit with the Metal cashback)

No; there are a good selection of credit cards available with no foreign transaction fees. I have a Barclaycard that has no fees, higher cash back than Revolut, and has no monthly fee.

No. There are fees for withdrawing cash over £200, but not using the card abroad.

Grand parent said they use a “credit card” abroad, implying they don’t use Monzo, or wouldn’t need Revolut. Monzo is a debit card.

Ah thanks, sorry I missed that.

If you don't mind using a debit card abroad though, Monzo gives you a good rate, not sure why you'd need to use a credit card.
