Revolut Megathread.

Not by much but better anyway

I got the new debit card from Revolut and its a MasterCard.

I don’t know how long until they restrict your account but if you’re renewing your passport it shouldn’t take long to get your new one. Simple renewals seem to be taking less than a week, it’s first time passports that are taking months to process.

Anyone know why it seems common enough for Revolut to request updated documents? And do traditional banks do the same? Personally I don’t remember any traditional Irish bank asking for any documents after the account is set up.

Some of the BIN ranges from Revolut these days show up as being issued by VTB BANK in UKRAINE so if Euronet is not up to date and they dont check correctly, they might see this as foreign. In theory BIN numbers should not play a role in finding out if your card is irish, but it's Euronet, anything is possible so that they can get more money out of you.

You could throw your BIN (first 6-8 numbers of your card) into a bin checker it will tell you what most providers will see the card as, it takes a while to get any changes to the BIN allocation through all the systems. A usually good checker is: binlist.io

Well happy birthday.

Second if you have a valid driver license, try that, some people report that full driver licenses now work for them when they go through the process.

But you should be able to get a passport renewal very quickly these days Passport Online - Department of Foreign Affairs (dfa.ie).

The new passport should be there before they take action, and before you ask, it's not really clear how much time they will give you, there does not seem to be a standard.

Could someone please confirm this query.

I have a Standard Revolut account. And I will be travelling to US$ zone. If I am paying in US$ from my EUR balance, is there a cap on 1000€ limit and 0.5% charged afterwards?

That's very helpful. Thank you 😀

Now the question is whether it's worth it for me to upgrade to Premium or not 🤔🥶

Thanks,

I checked the terms and conditions. There is no free trial anymore. They have this 14-day cooling period where you can cancel but if any premium services used than they will be charged at a much higher level. So overall, its either all in for 1 year or I continue using standard plan. I may be going max to 1300€ (all inclusive hotel and tickets already paid) during the holidays. So I suppose I can just use the standard plan.

Can you add money to Revolut using Google Pay? If so how do I set it up.

If you haven't already, go to Google Pay and add your card(s) to it and then go to your Revolut App and go to add money then change the method to Google Pay

Used Easy bank transfer method last night with the Bank of Ireland, it was about 10pm last night when I done the transfer, and the money landed in my Revolut account at 4pm this afternoon.

I had it as an option and used it month's ago but then it disappeared.

I'm on 8.52 and use Google pay regularly
