Revolut Ultra launches in Singapore with a monthly global eSIM benefit

Revolut launched its Ultra subscription in Singapore on August 19, 2026. Launch coverage says the S$899 annual plan includes 5GB of global eSIM data each month across more than 100 countries.

That is useful news for an existing Revolut customer who already wants the wider Ultra bundle. It is not yet a reason to subscribe based on mobile data alone. Revolut's current Singapore eSIM terms do not lock the included allowance to 5GB. They say the amount and covered countries appear in the app before activation and may change monthly.

The traveler decision: if Ultra already fits your banking, lounge and subscription needs, the monthly eSIM data is a practical extra. Before upgrading, open the Singapore app offer and save the screen showing the current allowance, country list, 30-day period and renewal date. Compare Roaming eSIM when you want travel data without a S$899 banking subscription.

What Revolut launched in Singapore

The August 19 launch report describes Ultra as Revolut's highest subscription tier in Singapore. It reports a platinum-plated debit card, airport lounge and fast-track access, travel insurance, partner subscriptions, higher overseas cash limits and 5GB of global eSIM data every month.

Revolut's current Singapore Ultra fee page confirms the price:

The official Ultra help page confirms that eSIM access sits inside a much broader paid plan. It does not publish the 5GB figure in the visible benefit list. That difference matters because a traveler should not treat a launch article as a permanent tariff.

The reported 5GB is not the only number online

The launch report states 5GB each month. Revolut's Singapore legal terms use more cautious language: an Ultra customer may receive a 30-day eSIM plan, and the allowance and included countries can differ by plan and country of residence. Revolut says the app shows the current amount before activation and that it can change monthly.

Search results also surface a Revolut page titled "Singapore eSIM plans" that says Ultra includes 3GB. That page is written for a UK customer traveling to Singapore, displays prices in pounds and is not the Singapore account offer. It should not be used to overwrite the new Singapore launch report.

These three sources answer different questions:

• The August 19 report describes the new Singapore Ultra launch and says 5GB.
• The Singapore legal terms govern how the included eSIM benefit works and leave the amount variable.
• The UK destination page describes a UK customer's Singapore travel option and says 3GB.

Until Revolut places the exact 5GB allowance in its Singapore fee or plan page, the live Singapore app is the final pre-purchase check. This article records the launch claim without presenting it as an unchangeable entitlement.

How the included Revolut eSIM plan works

Revolut markets the eSIM and handles payment inside its app. Its partner 1GLOBAL supplies the data service. The profile is data-only and does not include a local phone number, ordinary voice calls or SMS.

For the included Ultra allowance, the current Singapore eSIM conditions establish several practical limits:

1. The included plan lasts 30 days after activation.
2. It can be activated on one device in the Revolut app.
3. The amount and country list are shown before activation.
4. An allowance that is not activated during its month is lost.
5. Downgrading within 14 days after using the benefit can trigger a proportional data charge.

Revolut's Singapore eSIM help says a customer can hold up to 15 eSIM plans, but only one can be used at a time. A more local plan takes priority over a regional or global plan where their coverage overlaps.

That priority can surprise a traveler who buys another Revolut plan for the same trip. Check which plan is active before assuming the included global allowance is being consumed.

Does unused Ultra data roll over?

The public terms do not promise rollover. They say an unactivated monthly benefit is lost, and the activated plan lasts 30 days. Treat the included allowance as a use-it-within-the-cycle benefit.

Paid add-ons follow separate rules. Revolut says live price, allowance, validity and countries appear before checkout. Optional auto-renewal can purchase the same paid plan again if the allowance runs out early, but it expires after 90 days, four renewals, or a plan period that ends without the data running out.

That is not the same as the next month's included Ultra benefit. Before enabling auto-renewal, confirm whether the screen is describing a paid add-on or the plan bundled with Ultra.

Can you use hotspot, calls or SMS?

Revolut explicitly describes its international eSIM as data-only. Internet calling through WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal or another app can work when the connection supports it, but the eSIM does not supply a telephone number for normal calls or verification texts.

The checked Singapore help and legal pages do not give a clear general hotspot promise for the included Ultra plan. Do not infer tethering from the word global. Check the plan details in the app, then test hotspot before relying on it for a laptop meeting.

Keep the usual SIM enabled if incoming calls or bank texts matter, but disable data roaming on that home line unless the carrier's charges are understood. The calls and SMS guide explains how a data eSIM and the home number can work together.

Coverage is more than a 100-country headline

Revolut's public Singapore eSIM page lists more than 100 countries and territories. The included Ultra plan may use a particular global coverage set, so the app's pre-activation list is the one to match against an itinerary.

Check every stop, including airport connections. A country appearing in Revolut's wider eSIM store does not prove it is inside that month's included Ultra allowance. The public Singapore pages also do not name the visited operators for every destination.

For a multi-country trip, save the country list and verify:

• the destination and any transit country are included;
• the phone is unlocked and eSIM-compatible;
• the benefit has not been activated too early;
• the correct data line and data-roaming setting are enabled;
• any hotspot requirement is confirmed in the app;
• offline maps and booking details are downloaded before departure.

Use the compatibility checker and installation timing guide before changing phone settings.

Revolut Ultra eSIM or Roaming eSIM?

The comparison changes depending on whether the traveler wants a banking subscription or a connectivity product.

🏆 Roaming eSIM wins for a data-only purchase: travelers can compare destination, regional and Global plans directly, use the package fields shown on the product page, and contact 24/7 support without first deciding whether a premium finance subscription is worth S$899 a year.

The live Singapore catalog returned 31 Roaming eSIM packages when checked on August 20. It included fixed and daily allowances, 7-to-30-day options, named operators, speed fields and package-level top-up status. Inventory and prices can change, so the live cards below remain the source for checkout decisions.

Revolut wins for an existing Ultra member when the included allowance covers the route and would otherwise go unused. Roaming eSIM has the clearer fit when the traveler wants to pay only for connectivity, needs more than the bundled amount, or wants a route-specific plan that is independent of a bank account.

Ten Revolut Ultra Singapore eSIM questions travelers are asking

Does Singapore Ultra include 5GB every month?

The August 19 launch coverage says 5GB of global data monthly. Revolut's Singapore eSIM terms do not fix the amount and say it can vary by plan, residence and month. Confirm the current allowance in the Singapore app before subscribing or activating.

Is the 5GB valid for 30 days?

Revolut's terms describe the included Ultra benefit as a 30-day eSIM plan. The app should show the exact period before activation.

Does unused data roll into the next month?

No rollover is promised. An included plan that is not activated during its month is lost, and an activated plan has a 30-day period.

When should I activate the included plan?

Activate it close enough to departure that the 30-day period covers the trip. First confirm the destination list and setup instructions while reliable Wi-Fi is available.

Can I add more data after using the allowance?

Revolut sells additional local, regional and global plans in-app. The price and validity vary. Check whether auto-renewal is enabled so running out does not create an unexpected paid purchase.

Does Revolut Ultra eSIM include calls or SMS?

No. Revolut describes the international plan as data-only. Use internet calling apps and keep another line for a normal phone number or SMS.

Can I use it as a hotspot?

The checked Singapore public pages do not make a clear universal hotspot promise for the included plan. Verify the live plan and test tethering before depending on it.

Can I share the allowance with a family member?

The included plan activates on one device. Do not assume that the profile or allowance can be transferred to another traveler's phone. Each person should confirm their own data arrangement.

Can I get a refund if the eSIM does not work?

Revolut's conditions allow a request within 14 days in limited cases, including verified technical failure. For an ordinary paid plan, the terms cap inspection use at 500MB for a proportional unused-service refund. Contact in-app support and keep screenshots of the error and settings.

Is Ultra worth S$899 just for the eSIM?

Not on the published evidence. S$899 pays for a broad banking, travel and subscription bundle. Compare the data benefit with a standalone Roaming eSIM plan, then count only the other Ultra benefits the customer would genuinely use.

Sources and updates

The Singapore launch date and reported 5GB allowance come from the August 19 launch report. Revolut's Singapore Ultra fee and help pages confirm the S$89.99 monthly and S$899 annual prices. Revolut and 1GLOBAL's Singapore terms establish the variable allowance, 30-day period, one-device rule, unused-benefit loss, paid renewal, data-only service and refund boundaries.

Roaming eSIM's public Singapore package endpoint and support page were checked on August 20. We will update this URL if Revolut changes the Singapore allowance, country list, price, eligibility, activation period, renewal, device, voice, hotspot or refund terms. A material change belongs on this page rather than in another article competing for the same search intent.
