Revolut is launching an eSIM service for its customers in Romania and across the Economic European Area (EEA). This makes it one of the first digital-only banks in the region to do so. This new service is all about making life easier for people who love to travel or need to stay connected without incurring roaming charges.
Starting March 25th, 2024, Revolut’s 3.5+ million customers in Romania will be able to get an eSIM through the Revolut app. This will eliminate the need for physical SIM cards and allow customers to top up their data on the go in over 100 countries.
