Revolut just charged me €6.43 for topping up using a business Visa Debit. Anyone have that before

You sure it was Revolut who charged you and not your business bank?

Commerical Cards like a Visa Business Debit Card occur charges when topping up, personal cards do not.

This was common until PSD2 banned charging consumers a surcharge for using debit and credit cards, but it doesn't apply to business cards.

Group vaults have just landed. Nice one.

My account got limited 2 days ago, after I added a an additional debit card for topping up and did a SEPA transfer into my revolut account from that same account.

I use Revolut mostly for online purchases and currency transactions.

So they wanted ... 3 payslips, last tax return, copies of the statements of the other bank accounts.

I told them, that they could have the payslips, but my bank statements and my tax return were none of their business. Any more info could be used for identity theft.

Funny thing ... a few hours later the limitation was lifted again without me providing anything. I guess their automatic sh!te is too aggressive at flagging things and they know it.

Hello everyone,

In a previous post, I mentioned how I can no longer use Revolut with PayPal, since PayPal would not accept a Revolut Visa.
Someone here suggested that I add the Revolut account to PayPal instead, and I did. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see how this is useful. PayPal sees my account as Euro, and I do not have any currency conversion options when I try to make a payment. Today, I purchased something from a UK site, and PayPal wanted to charge a Euro amount to my Revolut account, without giving me the option to change the currency.
As such, I don't see the usefulness at all. Prior to this, I had my Revolut Mastercard registered, and it allowed me to pay in the currency of the store, so that Revolut would do the conversions. This no longer seems to be possible, after my Mastercard expired and I only have Revolut Visa.

Am I doing it wrong?
Thanks for all your help.

My revolut card is broken.?

Not sure if this is any use to you or not but might be a workaround...

I just successfully added my VISA Revolut card to GPay / Google Pay. Previously only Mastercard Revolut cards were supported.

Well Done Revolut...

App version updated to 5.48 - not sure if thats relevant or not.

Now I have a choice of paying with either my Mastercard or Visa on GPAY -- all from the same wallet. (Am I a geek?)

That doesn't work for Revolut Bank Account, only for credit cards.

To recap: I cannot add a Revolut card to PayPal, as it is rejected. PayPal Customer Support told me they no longer support prepaid cards. I added the Revolut Bank Account as a funding source, but there are no conversion options for this.

I followed the steps in that post, but the Revolut account does not appear, just my BoI credit card.

1. Log in to Paypal
2. Wallet
3. Add currency - GBP
4. Make it primary currency.


Your default probably is in EUR.
But yes for every check out make sure to be paying in the Currency of the country and do not let Paypal do the conversion for you

I would have thought that any Debit card is technically prepaid

has your revolut account been verified? it won't show until its been "confirmed" on paypal.
they take a small payment out to check its valid, did that happen?

Still no joy.

This is what the checkout looks like. When I had the MasterCard, there used to be a link right under the currency conversion rate, where I could choose the currency of the transaction. Not present for the Revolut bank account.

I thought so too, but Ricky from Revolut support said no.

Do you have a local GB account in revolut? Something with a sort code similar to 04-00-75. Might be worth trying to add this to Paypay as a sterling account. [ACTUALLY I just tried and its not possible to get an IBAN for the local GBP account so this isn't possible]

I just tried adding by 2nd Revolut card (VISA) to paypal there now and it worked.


It took a few goes to get the address in a format that worked with paypal so persevere. I used IRELAND as my postcode in the paypal address and "# road", "area", "county" as other fields. Also managed to confirm the card and get the 4 digit code.... Hmmm what use is a second Revolut card linked with Paypal :-)

FYI - My address in the Revolut App is in the following format:-
"# road", "County","area", IE

My PayPal says I can't send money to my revolut anymore. Both MasterCard AND visa.

For this, you can register the Revolut account, using the Swift and IBAN.

I was able to add my Revolut Visa card yesterday also. It took 2 attempts. I used Google Pay successfully today.

Been trying to add mine but not receiving any verification code & now says a code can no longer be used. Will try again later and see how I get on

No. There are 2 types of cards: Credit and Debit. Then there is a differentiation between normal and prepaid.

Revolut is a Credit Card with prepaid "tag".

That's weird. Because I have my Revolut card added to my PayPal. No problem. It's the virtual one.

Oh .. and I can also confirm, that Google Pay now works with the Revolut Visa card.

Trying to add revolut to my PayPal is impossible.

Says something about invalid address. Yet it's exactly typed as it is on revolut. It still takes a €1 PayPal every attempt..

My IBAN doesn't work neither. Just tells me to try again later.
