    Revolut offered me the 1 month premium card, if I take and cancel it at the end of the month, will I pay for the card?

    Edit: nvm I read the terms I do need to pay for the card.

    No sure but if you read back in the thread I think someone else had that happen to them.

    Joint accounts should now be visible in the Hub without waitlist.

    Been showing up for the last couple of days for me but I can't invite my wife. It says she can't be invited. I tried with a couple of different family members and I got as far as confirming their number. Can't get past selecting my wife.

    On her account it won't let her start the process at all. I was on to support and they assured me it just hasn't rolled out yet and nothing wrong with her account.

    I got told by revolut support that once rejected you need to wait 6 weeks before applying again, otherwise your application will be rejected immediately and the day counter will reset to 0 days again.

    Not on mine. Had asked their chat last week if I could request a joint account and got told it will be rolled out. No idea how they choose who gets access first, very random.

    Revolut gave me 1% cashback for three months on chat, after my moaning about AIB for a bit.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,533 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Thanks for response.

    As it happens I had my third salary payment into my Revolut account yesterday and thought three payments sounded like a nice sufficient number so tried again this morning and was approved.


    Odd credit limit - I can work out how they came up with it but thought they’d round up/down to a more round number.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,219 ✭✭✭oneweb


    I got a letter from AIB stating "Your bank has unpaid your recent direct debit payment stating 'Instruction Cancelled'. I've been charged €7 too 🤦🏻‍♂️ Might challenge that as it was completely outside of my control (any advice?)

    I've since manually sent funds to the credit card in question, it's pending 'cos of the bank hol but I'll update if/when it goes through.


    AIB Twitter chat told me to use these details to pay my AIB credit card from another bank account:

    IBAN - IE92AIBK93011399945304

    BIC - AIBKIE2D

    Your 16-digit card number as the reference.


    I remember last time struggling to find the details on aib.ie, they still haven't got their act together.

    It is what it's.

    Certainly worth having a fight with AIB about the fee given that the problem em is definitely on their side. I didn’t realise it was also affecting direct debit payments. Revolut is continuing to allow DD charges to the LT IBAN, and generating an email warning to change the DD. So this is further evidence that the problem is on the AIB side.

    I’ve tried that IE92 IBAN and it didn’t work for me. I’d be surprised if it works for you, but let us know either way please.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭optiplexgx270


    That won't work and the money will bounce back into your revolut account. Same for all 3 AIB IBANS.

    IE92 is for international banks

    IE60 is domestic

    IE76 is for all apparently

    You can see my failed attempts above with all 3. I have used the IE92 since last year when I left KBC which worked fine up to the IBAN changes.

    Since the IE ibans rolled out none of them are working and the funds return to Revolut and AIB refuse to investigate and don't care.


    Apparently you can call the number on card and ask them to put you through to an automated payment system and use your Revolut debit card to pay the bill. I have yet to try that.

    The will investigate if you make a formal complaint following the proper procedures. Just complaining on the phone or in a branch does not count in the eyes of a bank.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭optiplexgx270


    Yes I've made formal complaints to AIB via their complaints form and Revolut too but the fault is with AIB in this situation I am fairly certain as the money goes into their account and then refunded.

    Not expecting much from AIB any more to be honest they outright don't care and its the customers fault and there is no possible way to investigate the holding accounts go away is the in branch and card services stance.

    How would complaining to a regulator be done? Who and how?

    I'd certainly log a complaint and ask for it to be refunded. If the issue is on their end, it's not right that you're out of pocket. They might even throw in a gesture of good will along with it if you're lucky.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,784 ✭✭✭beachhead


    Odd credit limit could be like supermarket codes: ending in .92 a one time offer,.95 permanent offer, .96 to keep you interested.99 or .00 specific offer to you.Use lateral thinking to figure out your credit offer.

    Revolut most likely classifying the customers-keep,extend or remove cards

    If,more people come on here it would be interesting to hear if they consider the credit limits odd.



  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 5,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭G_R


    I highly doubt that's the case.

    Far more likely there is a calculation done on your income, debt repaymens, rent etc etc, and it is then put through a multiplier to decide on a limit, and they just haven't rounded it up or down.

    Hi Folks, ex Ulster Bank customer here. I have applied for a credit card with Revolut to be constantly told that I am on a waiting list. This is ongoing since they made credit cards available. Same with loans, which I do not need at the moment but you never know. I have a good salary paid into Revolut account, no credit cards, I own my house, I just recently have a car loan (I did not have when first applying). So, I owe nothing apart from a recent car loan. Any idea why I am on a waiting list? Is this technically a refusal? I would like the ease of having debit and credit cards on the one app (I have another account with a few bob in it as backup) but at this stage, I think I will go ahead and apply for a credit card elsewhere. Main reason is car hire and hotel stays. Summer is looming. So, anyone in the same boat? Any ideas why I am "waiting"?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,181 ✭✭✭DopeTech


    It may not be at all related but make sure you have the latest version of the app installed. Joint accounts only appeared for me after updating the app during the week.

    Updated the app and got the joint account option in the hub but when I try to open a joint account it says I can't........ Anyone else getting this message.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 513 ✭✭✭The DayDream


    I thought Revolut allowed for cash withdrawals without fees up to 200 or so, I loaded the account to make some online purchases and left exactly 20 quid in there which I tried to withdraw only to be told insufficient funds at the ATM. Checked the app and it said there wasn't enough in the account to pay tax? I remember before you could withdraw all that was in it no problem with no charge as long as you didn't go over the limit.

    GB IBAN warning: even though Revolut have announced all Irish accounts have been migrated to IE IBAN, there are an unknown number still operating under GB IBAN, never migrated to Lithuania.

    Revolut cannot migrate these accounts to IE IBANs, and users have to close their accounts and reopen.

    Would be get to a handle on numbers impacted.

    In my case miniscule compensation offered by Revolut for the hassle.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58 ✭✭BEdS_83


    my case, I had to close my account and open a new one to get the IE IBAN.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58 ✭✭BEdS_83


    did anyone manage to open a joint account? what does it do?

    Does it create a new one shared between the couple or does it make the 2 accounts to become one? I wonder if I pick that option, will it open a shared space between me and my wife and we can keep our accounts or will it make our accounts to become 1.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58 ✭✭BEdS_83


    question about metal, does anyone know about any discount on top of the anual fee?

    any news about the ultra one? is it worth waiting for it?



  • Posts: 3,330 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It finally appeared as an option today in my hub. I clicked the button to start the process, it asked me to confirm who I wanted to set up the joint account with, my wife got a notification to accept, and we had our joint account opened within 2 minutes of starting the process.

    The account has an Irish IBAN, visible in both of ours hubs. One new account, visible to both of us within our Revolut apps. And our own original revolut accounts operating as normal.
