Yes – you can send money from your U.S. Revolut account to a Mexican person who also has a Revolut account.
- Revolut‑to‑Revolut transfers are free and happen instantly in the chosen currency (or are automatically converted at the mid‑market rate). The app lets you pick the recipient from your contacts or enter their phone number/e‑mail, and the money appears in the other person’s Revolut balance within seconds.
- Because the transfer stays inside the Revolut ecosystem, there are no bank‑transfer fees or extra exchange‑rate mark‑ups (aside from any fair‑usage limits that might apply to your plan).
How it works in practice
- Open the Revolut app (U.S. version).
- Tap ‘Payments’ → ‘Send to a friend’ (or the equivalent “Revolut‑to‑Revolut” option).
- Choose the Mexican contact (they must already have a Revolut account linked to their phone number/e‑mail).
- Enter the amount and the currency you want to send (you can send in USD, MXN, or any of the 25+ supported currencies).
- Confirm – the recipient gets the funds instantly in their Revolut balance.
What if the Mexican user doesn’t yet have a Revolut account?
- Bank transfers are also possible: Revolut lets U.S. customers send money to a Mexican bank account (e.g., a CLABE number) fee‑free and in as little as 30 minutes, according to Revolut’s announcement about its US‑Mexico remittance corridor revolut.com.
- The sender pays only the standard exchange‑rate spread (mid‑market rate) and any applicable fair‑usage limits; there’s no extra “transfer fee”.
Things to keep in mind
- Limits: Standard plans have a certain number of free international transfers per month (often 10); beyond that, a small fee may apply.
- Currency conversion: If you send USD and the recipient wants MXN, Revolut will convert at the real‑time market rate (no hidden markup).
- Recipient onboarding: The Mexican user must complete the Revolut sign‑up process (provide ID, proof of residence, etc.) before they can receive Revolut‑to‑Revolut payments.
Bottom line: As a U.S. citizen with a Revolut account, you can freely and instantly send money to a Mexican friend or family member who also uses Revolut, with no transfer fees. If they don’t have an account yet, you can still remit to a Mexican bank account quickly and cost‑effectively via Revolut’s US‑Mexico remittance service.R
