Revolut, the global financial app and eBank, has become the first financial institution in Ireland to launch eSIM, which offers users a cost-effective way of accessing data plans without unexpected roaming charges in over 100 countries.
Revolut eSIM allows customers to roam like a local, and stay connected without unexpected roaming charges and interruptions.
Available to Irish customers from today, Revolut customers on eSIM compatible devices will have access to the eSIM, regardless of their plan. Once installed, customers will be able to top up data wherever they go – without any need for a physical SIM. Connecting the eSIM enables customers to use the Revolut app without using up their mobile data allowance – so if a Revolut customer lands in a country and doesn’t have data access, they can still access their Revolut app and use all the products and features, including topping up their data if they run out.
With the eSIM installed via the Revolut app, Ultra customers will gain access to a new benefit as part of their plan – 3GB of mobile data to use globally, with a rolling refresh every month. Irish customers who install their new eSIM by 1 May 2024 will also be able to take advantage of an introductory offer of 100MB of global data at no cost.
Elyas Sadou, Product Owner of eSIM at Revolut, commented: “At Revolut, we harness technology to simplify our customers’ lives, and that’s precisely what our eSIM accomplishes. It offers seamless access to mobile data, eliminating the inconvenience of high prices or the need to buy and organise a physical SIM card.”
“Whether you are in the US, Australia or Egypt, you can effortlessly secure a data plan with just a few taps on your phone, and then instantly share those breath-taking photos of your trip with friends and family. It’s a game-changer for people who love to travel.”
Hakan Koç, founder and CEO of 1GLOBAL said: “By joining forces, Revolut can leverage 1GLOBAL’s worldwide mobile network and market leading eSIM platform to enhance their own international technological infrastructure. 1GLOBAL provides quick and secure mobile network connectivity in over 160 countries worldwide. Our eSIM technology integrates seamlessly into the existing Revolut app and can be installed on any eSIM-compatible mobile device in less than a minute.”
