Singapore – Aiming to offer seamless connections when travelling, financial tech company Revolut has recently introduced eSIMs and global data plans to its customers in Singapore. This strategic initiative covers more than 100 countries, enabling customers to stay connected wherever they are without unexpected roaming charges and interruptions.
The launch further allows Revolut customers on eSIM-compatible devices to have access to the eSIM regardless of the Revolut plan they are on. With this, they can also easily purchase and activate it in-app.
According to the firm, once activated, customers will be able to top up data wherever they go without the need for a physical SIM. eSIMs are fully digital and can be used alongside customers’ existing SIMs.
Connecting the eSIM enables customers to use the Revolut app without using their mobile data allowance. This means that when a Revolut customer lands in a country and doesn’t have data, they can still access their Revolut app and use all the products and features, including topping up their data.
Moreover, said move ensures travellers are supported throughout their entire trip without the fear of roaming charges.
The company also plans to launch eSIMs in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. On the other hand, users in the UK and EEA have been using the service, with over 3 million GB already redeemed worldwide through Revolut eSIMs in 2024.
Raymond Ng, chief executive officer at Revolut Singapore, said, “At Revolut, we aim to simplify our customers’ lives and make things as easy and convenient for them as possible. This is exactly what our latest product, eSIMs, accomplishes. It offers seamless and cost-efficient access to mobile data, saving customers money and the hassle involved in organising and managing multiple physical SIM cards.”
“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 breathtaking photos of your trip with friends and family. It’s a game-changer for people who love to travel internationally, and it is built for the global citizen of today,” he further shared.
Meanwhile, Hakan Koç, founder and CEO at 1GLOBAL, remarked, “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.”
