Revolut Megathread.

Anyone having issues trying to add money with BOI? Small amounts work fine like 200€ but larger amounts I immediacy just get BOI 3Ds not verified but it’s immediate it doesn’t even give a chance to do it.

rang BOI yesterday and they said it’s not an issue on their side and revolut said it’s not them.

I'm new to Revolut. I have a BOI account and also a Mastercard with BOI. What is the best way to top up my Revolut from BOI. It is to add Revolut as as a Payee in my BOI account and then transfer money to Revolut just as I do for nay of my other payees. Or is there some better/quicker way? Thanks.

Thanks Mimikyu. I haven't used Google Pay before now, but have added it to my phone so I can use it to make payments with my Revolut virtual card. How do I use Google pay to top up my Revolut account. Can I add my BOI bank account to Google pay? Or do I add my BOI Mastercard to Google Pay and then use it to transfer money to my Revolut account? Sorry for such basic questions, just starting out on this.

Hmm, I'll have to look more into it cos i priced a 2 month trip across Europe for myself and my boyfriend and it was showing €120+ on a few sites.

Cheers

Just a reminder to double check the APR on your Revolut loan agreement if signing up as mine was much higher than the 5.99% estimated on the application. I contacted customer care but they said they couldn't change it so I didn't take it for that reason.

Thanks, that's how they explained it also. Makes complete sense. I know everyone should be reading the documents carefully anyway for a loan but just that some people might miss it as they adjusted the term rather than the monthly repayments in the agreement. I nearly did because I was on my phone and in the back of my mind assumed the terms I had applied for were the ones I would be approved for.

Has anyone managed to get Eir to take Revolut’s IBAN for direct debit lately? Customer care are adamant they don’t take Revolut, but on their direct debit help page they say for international direct debits to fill out the mandate and post it back to them.

When I mentioned this to the customer care agent he again said they won’t take Revolut for direct debits.

I’ve moved over most of my direct debits already and this is the first problem I’ve had luckily.

If you're going to be buying anything on a weekend, exchange it first before the weekend.

So only works if you can link your bank account?

And I love how it's 499€ maximum to stay under the 500€ reporting requirement to the Governments snoopers CCR.

It's attached to a single purchase so more like a credit card service, isn't it?

Just delete sent from revolut and write in whatever you want

Sure. I just meant it’s a credit facility so similar to how they require a linked account to apply for a loan

It won’t be something I’ll be availing of

Not sure if anyone experienced this

Mrs Gunner paid money to her nephew who has Junior card linked to his mothers card. Money was sent but never received. Money was not taken from account. Nephew got a link but when he clicked it said it was claimed and now when she checks some random person(not in her contacts has claimed this)

Revolut said that the only way she can claim this is contact user asking them to return, but she does not know this user?She wants to know how it happened in case it happens again and wondering if fraudulent claim and can it be refunded, Revolut gone radio silence on this

Anyone experience this and what did they do or how can it happen?
