Is anyone else's app showing most transactions under "other" in the country section now? I know it's not a major issue but it is a bit annoying!

Mine is displaying transactions correctly.

It's a good feature that until recently I hadn't used.
In the last few weeks I've been ordering online from abroad and it helps you spot any unusual payments or debits from your card.

I reported it to Revolut, they're aware of the issue.

I initiated the transfer of funds from Revolut to my BoI account at 10 am yesterday. This would normally complete in 4 or 5 hours. On this occasion it has not yet arrived in the BoI account & is still showing as pending in Revolut. Anyone else having problems transferring funds from Revolut to BoI or other banks.

European Bank Holiday yesterday, the funds won't clear till Tuesday.

LizardKing

Euro (Friday ) and Irish Bank Holiday (Monday) likely will delay the transfer..

Yeah on the Easter long weekend I made a payment on the Friday that wasn't executed until Tuesday. Went through in normal times after that.

Should the exchange rate to sterling be constantly updating? Just now xe.com 0.88802, revolut 0.8735 showing since yesterday

Been using Revolt for nearly 2 years and have saved me a fortune in exchange/banks fees.

The latest is where I hold shares through an SAYE scheme with work. The third party is a global nominee who holds the shares collext dividends etc. Recently got paid dividends into the hold account but if I want these transferred to my irish account incurres a charge of 25GBP plus 1.75% FX!.

Used my Revolut UK details without issue and didn't incurrer any charges!. First time using the UK account details but glad to know it works.

Their FX rates are fixed at the weekends as the FX markets are closed.

Is there anyway that I can avoid having to go through the text verification every time I top up with my PTSB Visa debit card. I never had to do this up until about a month ago why my top ups started to fail. When I finally got it sorted, apparently the saved expiry date on my PTSB changed somehow from 8/22 to 12/22 on the Revolut app. After I deleted that card and re-added it again, I’m getting this text verification ever since.

I’ve made no changes to my PTSB card and I now get this too. It just seems to be a general security update.

It'll stop eventually for amounts 300 and lower anyhow. For larger amounts it seems to trigger every time.

PTSB seems to have tightened the security at some point, when new rules were introduced for card payments.

Funds were in my BoI account this morning.

Is Revolut's standard plan physical debit card just like any other debit card you'd get from AIB/BOI etc?

Yes the only difference I can see is it doesn't offer cashback.

Hi all, I have a Perx Reward Card I received as a bonus in work, does anyone know if there is a way of adding the amount to my Revolut using this card?

I had a quick search on here and nothing, someone did use their Perfect Incentive card to add money to their revolut, which I think is similar, but doesnt seem to be working for me at all.

Cheers.

Did it recently for my n26, you can't top up directly but you can use it to top up someone else's PayPal account and transfer to you vie friends and family and withdraw to your bank account from there. Probably against a whole bunch of ts and Cs.

Is your card one of the old ones that are coded as "Prepaid Credit Card" or one of the newer ones that are coded as Debit Card.

Important difference there.

An Post will only take Debit Cards.

Revolut has now started moving their Lithuania based customers onto the Bank License they hold there.

This is getting really confusing now

US customers via a 3rd party bank
EU customers via UK emoney but moving to emoney in Lithuania
Lithuania customers on a bank license
UK customers via UK emoney

Also there is a major app update coming shortly which does some significant redesign.

It's about three years old at this point so prepaid I'd imagine. I've never checked to see how it's coded. I have the pride one too. If I just tap it, it always works but if it's chip and pin, it doesn't. I know they only accept debit so I don't try anymore.

Really, so you can't rely totally on it so. You would always need to have your bank card too just in case.

The machine. It's worked when I've tapped but not when I've inserted it but ymmv depending on which card you have

My sister forgot her PIN/passcode as she never used it, always uses face unlock to get into the app. Somehow she managed to make a mess of trying to get in using the facial recognition and now is unable to get into the app.

She's tried the Forgot my passcode functionality where you submit a photo of you holding your identification but nothing seems to happen when she's directed to the All chats page.

Anyone know what she can do?

3 years old could very well be coded as Credit Prepaid. My first cards were for sure.

Install the app on a different device which will allow access as that relies on email and sms verification.

Than deinstall on the old device and reinstall there. It should in theory now be treated as secondary device and request a new setup rather than asking for the previous PIN code.

No guarantees that this will work but it's worth a try.
