thx a lot guys for fast responses, completely forgot about virtual card function, plus didnt knew about safety option to enable online transactions. so def will take it into account as using it a lot lately, and having smth wrong with payment messages twice over weekend, thought cant be right with so many people using it on daily basis, as know some even get their wages into it.

I have all my direct debts in it, so much better

Bill comes out, notification on phone

Back in dark ages of BOI, bill comes out, don't know until I log into my account

I use mine online all the time, although I use a virtual card online for security reasons, I can delete it instantly should I suspect any issues and not have to go through the wait for a new physical card. You should try create a virtual card in card > add card and only use this one online

How does the online shopping virtual card work for refunds if the card is destroyed after use?

The card isn't destroyed after each use. I have the same virtual card for over a year. But should I need to destroy it for whatever reason I can easily do so and create a new virtual card in the app in seconds

Ah I see, you're using the standard virtual card.
There is an option to use a disposable online shopping card which is destroyed after use and a new one is generated.

You can destroy it after each use if you want but it's probably not necessary unless you're buying from really dodgy places.

Reloading the app fixed it for me.

Just got onto chat with Revolut and they seem a bit unsure too

Appropriate name veryangryman

I fee your pain!

Is there a current revolut account associated with the phone number you sent the cash to? If there isn't it should be returned to your account after a period when the transaction timeouts ie cash isn't claimed.

If there is then I think the only way to get the cash back is to try to reclaim access to the old revolut account - as the money would have gone straight into it without having to be "claimed" not sure if support will be able to help you there - no harm asking them? Or asking them to revert the transaction.

I see you can get device insurance through revolut without being a premium plan. Works out 1.11e a week. Anyone use it? Is it easy to claim?

I am a big fan of Revolut and use it every day and has saved me 000's. However, don't use those services from them. That is crazy expensive for device insurance. Plus check the excess on the policy likely quite high

What do you pay for your device insurance & who with?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is anything that you need to do to activate a virtual card? I have tried using it several times but it won't work unfortunately. I have had the app open and the card open but nothing works...maybe I need to contact Revolut?

What are you trying to do?

Is it not being accepted on some sites?

Why is my transfer of funds from my AIB account taking so long, it's saying 2-5 days? I haven't used Revolut since July but wasn't it instant before?

From aib to revolut? Should have topped up instead of transferring. Top up is instant.

Aaaaah.

Quick question for any of you more knowledgeable then me.

I use revolut for most cross border purchases from amazon etc and love it.

Does Revolut provide the same cover as a credit card for purchases, such Shopping Protection etc as described here - https://www.mastercard.ie/en-ie/consumers/features-benefits/card-benefits.html

I want to make a big purchase in Sterling, but want to know if it's worth the saving using revolut.

No idea but why not pay with PayPal using your revolut card

I had an issue with an American company some time ago. I was able to do a charge back through REVOLUT.

.

I've also successfully got a chargeback via Revolut in relation to a purchase from a merchant who was a scam artist, didn't deliver and ignored all my communication. I've posted details earlier in this thread.

Hi guys,
Just got my revolut card and added it to my PayPal but it's not showing when I try to transfer funds from PayPal ? Only my bank account showing ?
Can I transfer funds to revolut ?

cybrandian · 11-11-2020 08:55AM

Hi,

I am looking into transferring funds via the sale of shares from my etrade account to my revolut US$ account to save on the exchange rate fees.

Does anyone know if it is as simple as providing my IBAN and BIC for my Revolut US account or do I need to provide additional info? I ask, as it states on the Revolut app that "unique IBAN's are coming soon" - so if my IBAN is not unique, how can i be sure that the funds will reach my account?

Also, my etrade account is set up with just my first name, whereas my Revolut account is set up with my first and middle name, would that cause an issue with the transfer?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

Merged another couple of threads.

Let's use this thread for everything Revoult related - it's tidier that way, and you will get a much better response.
