Revolut Megathread.

Irish banks are charging for cash withdrawals on a Revolut card from their ATMs.Or is it a government fee that I was done for? Withdrawal in Feb this year.There was no e200 allowance for "free" withdrawals for me.Other info--all EU banks appear to be charging for all withdrawals on any Irish card-debit or credit,revolut or any other since 2021.Your Irish bank will tell you that is the foreign banks policy now and nothing to with them.I suppose all freebies have to end sometime.

Its new for my revolut card.I keep atm transactions to a minimum on my other cards for that reason.

genuine question…. Has anyone ever successfully received the introduction (refer a friend) offer from revolut ?

I was personally referred by a friend. He was promised a €60 referral . I spent hundreds of €€€ on the card as per arrangement. Got an excuse and F.Off email from the company.

I referred 4 friends since as an experiment under the same promise of a referral fee and guess what … same wishy washy excuse and nada in regards to a fee paid out.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Got a new card recently, but have had a few issues where the card is not recognised in card machines? Its happened a few times now, wondering is the card a little thinner without the raised numbering and not being recognised?

The card reader or terminal will dictate the currency and Revolut will just sort the conversion

Usually just leave it in Euros unless buying something specific

Just make sure you have enough of whatever currency you have for the purchases. Can’t mix n match currencies for one transaction

Have a few queries on revolut if anyone can help out.

If I top up my revolut account with a credit card will the credit card transaction be charged at the higher rate similar to a cash withdrawal ?

On a junior revolut account has the junior as app similar to say my standard app as well as having their own app. ?

Do I have to have another bank account to top up my revolut ?

And finally can I withdraw from a standard account ? I'm assuming I need a revolut card linked to the account.

Thanks for any help given on my queries

I saw that thread and I see similar stuff posted now and again. I've had Revolut for several years now and have had to deal with customer service a few times. I've moved country so had to change address, had money taken from my card at an foreign ATM that didn't actually dispense it, had to provide tax details that I didn't have, and each issue was solved promptly. During that time I've had issues with two Irish banks that dragged on and on and took months to sort out. My Irish credit card is due to expire this month and past experience tells me I won't receive a new one and it'll take ages and numerous phone calls before I get one, maybe by the end of the year. I think people panic when something goes wrong with Revolut and take to social media a lot quicker than they would with traditional banks. Revolut also seems to have more than its fair share of customers who try to use it for dodgy purposes such as unregistered/illegal business transactions. I still wouldn't use it as my main bank account but I've no problem having a couple of grand on it.

I'm finding the new Mastercard replacement for my Visa to be complete junk compared to the Visa card for contactless transactions, seems to be nothing near the same level of connectivity as the Visa card, you have to tap the thing to death for it to be recognised.

Can you use google/apple/etc pay?

Yes but I'm not arsed taking the phone out.

I tend to drop phones, usually have the wallet nearer to hand. Fitbit device might be best option.

I've noticed the same. It could take 3 or 4 taps before a transaction goes through. Don't like using my phone.

Does the public sector allow payment of salaries directly into the Revolut account?
