No. You get a sort-code and account number with your GBP account, if you have it activated. It's for UK local transfers.

In the app go to "More" -> "Profile" -> "Account Details" -> "GBP".

It will be in there.

Ah yes I see it now, cheers. I only use the card for day to day spending to keep my Visa Debit offline and away from card machines (Revolut is the only place it's registered for topping up) so I hadn't used the account stuff at all.

Ends in 75 also.

Hi by any chance has anyone here are managed to add their Revolut card to Garmin pay successfully?

I managed to add my KBC debit card no problem, but any time I try with Revolut, I get an error message saying it's not currently supported on Garmin pay.

Only KBC and Boon are supported on Garmin Ireland.

I’m still waiting for my passport for I popped over to Revolut blog to see what the plan is now the brexit fiasco is delayed and there isn’t a no deal Brexit and here’s what they said

“If the UK and the EU strike a deal, or if there’s a period of transitional relief, then nothing should change on our side. We would continue to passport our UK authorised permissions (via Revolut Ltd) across Europe, and there would be no action required on your side.”

So no rush with my passport then. :cool:

Just got this email from Revolut ...


You're probably Reesly sick of hearing about Brexit by now. We understand. It's all very Merkely and confusing.

We're sorry to Boris you with more Brexit stuff, but please don't send this email to your Juncker folder. We have an important message you May want to hear.

For now, all our politicians have stopped having a Barnier about what deal to sign. This is good news. It means that you'll stay as part of our UK entity for the foreseeable future, and that you don’t need to do anything on your side for now. There's a Chancellor this will change in the future, but we will keep you up to date as developments continue.

We suggest that you celebrate by using your Revolut card to go out and buy a sweet treat. Maybe a strawberry Macron.

So panic for my passport to process is off ....

For anyone who’s travelled to the US with this, how do you find it? Any issues with it being accepted? I’ve swipe enabled on it which should help.

I’m traveling for 14 days in the US, am I better to load the majority of spending money onto the card, and keep a few hundred in cash, or what did you find works best?

Thanks

Card all the way. Some offline terminals like gas stations and public transport machines might not work, but other than that you'll be fine.

Thanks. Card it is then. I’ll keep a few hundred in cash for tips etc and load the rest onto the card. Is it mainly swipe and sign they use ?

A tip posted last year about turning off location based security worked for one of my offspring during her stay in the US over the winter. The card was being randomly declined until the location based security was turned off. No problems after that.

Yeah, it's great in theory but never works properly and is better left off.

You might still have to get that sorted. You just have a bit more time now.

I found it worked OK in the US as long as you had a data connection, WiFi or otherwise. Terrible here regardless of what you do.

Hey folks,

Probably a stupid question, but wondering if I want to put money into my Revolut Turkish account from my Revolut Euro account, do I just do an exchange and it will go into the account. Cant seem to see an obvious way to just transfer between my accounts. Cheers

Yes. I think technically you only have one account with Revolut but it holds multiple currencies at the same time. So there is no transferring between accounts just currencies.

when you exchange the currency it sets up a balance in that currency and you can swipe between the various currencies to check spending and balance, its quite cool actually and i have five currencies at the moment

It's perfect. Some places may take a while to process and actually come out of your account, usually bars and restaurants as they often process the payment later as they check if there's a tip to be added. So it's good to have cash for tips instead.

I was caught out with 2 or 3 payments that brought my account into negative territory as didn't have cash on us a couple of times so added the tip to the bill and the payment was processed after we returned home with the tips added.

As someone said, it won't work in some places like the pumps at petrol stations so you need to go into the cashier to pay first.

Relatively few places use contactless. In fact one place that did, despite it appearing the transaction went through on their terminal, it never got as far as Revlout. It was a hotel bar and they had our credit card details anyway and it eventually showed up there.

Anybody else have $1 from Paypal taken from their account. Payment is marked as pending. Just happened to both me and my OH an hour ago.

Do you use PayPal?
Had you done any updates?

If not block card.

Payment was just reversed. Just odd that it happened both me and the mrs at around the same time, but in separate locations.

A $1 payment and then reversal sounds like a test by PayPal that the card was legit when it was added
If you didn’t add the card then keep an eye on it

Added the card to Paypal about a month ago and went through that process then. No idea why it happened again.

Despite having my Revolut card attached to my Amazon account for years, I still get charged the pending £1 every time I order! It falls off after about a week at the most.
