    Yea you could use your GB Iban details to get paid, however it’s a bit messy atm as Revolut are transitioning the ibans around due to Brexit. The GB details will only work a few more months. If you can give your Lithuanian iban details it might be better long term

    Not sure if there’s a update about it just yet, but that link explains

    I made a mistake and transferred Euro to Revolut to the old IBAN instead of the new one. Will I still receive the funds. It's still pending?

    You should definitely consider it as you're probably been shafted by BOI on the £/€ exchange rate too. Given the amount you'd be exchanging per month, you might be better paying the €7.99/month for unlimited FX on Revolut Premium.

    Alternatively, consider using a fintech bank like Monese where you'd have the benefit of the UK deposit guarantee scheme. They provide separate £ and € accounts. You could even use it as your main account and cut out BOI completely.

    You do NOT use your Revolut IBAN for receiving UK£ payments. You're provided with a specific UK account number & sort code for this purpose and it will NOT be changing!

    The IBAN (which has changed from GB to LT and is to charge again to IE) is for euro SEPA & foreign-currency SWIFT payments.

    Are you paid in GBP via a NI bank? My UK pension is paid into a NI bank in GBP. I transfer it to my Revolut GB local account number (not IBAN) & the money arrives within seconds. I then exchange the funds to EURO & transfer it to my BoI account. The transfer takes about 4 hours. There is a 0.5% charge for amounts exchanged over EUR 1000 (I have the non-fee Revolut card).

    Anyone else not able to add money to their Revolut account using their AIB debit card. Since last week I've been getting an error and so is one other person that I know.

    Any fix for this?

    I have gone through the registration Revoult process, lodged €45 . Provided id and verification with my passport.
    But when I log in I'm asked to lodge€15 as my account cannot be verified. There is a CHAT facility, but only if you're account is verified.
    No phone numbers are provided. Has anyone any suggestions as to either verify account or get my money back.

    Probably a stupid question but have you checked the card expiry date?

    Can I send a SEPA transfer to a non Irish bank account from a Revolut Personal account?
    I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. When I select bank transfer and go to put in the IBAN it won't let me change IE to any other Country.

    Yes, you can. You first need to select the 'Country of recipient's bank' when you add a new recipient, before you put in the IBAN.

    Ahh, thanks.

    At the top, I didn't realise I needed to scroll up when opening 'add recipient'. I just checked there, when you scroll down, and then back up, it still stops at IBAN, you have to scroll up twice to see country and currency option...



    Thanks :)

    Havn't bothered telling people my new LT IBAN (they use by old GB one). Now get an email when I get funds via the GB IBAN.

    Am hoping the IE one is sorted by 30/6 as they say after that date incoming funds MAY be rejected. Save people having to update it twice.

    Did you find a fix for this? It's not working for me either despite no issues in the past.

    Could you just do a SEPA transfer?

    I just tried that, but AIB doesn't recognise the IBAN as Irish. From googling to seems you now need a card reader to add money from AIB to Revolut, which I don't have and don't have access to. So frustrating as I really need to add money to Revolut.

    Isn't it illegal not to allow SEPA transfers?

    Have Revolut and the app on iPhone.

    Occasionally in the phone Revolut pops up as of it were to be used as tap payment.

    I’ve no idea how this appears, (big thick farmers fingers).

    How does this work, can I use this for tap payments.

    How are Revolut able to operate here without an Irish banking licence?

    For Revolut you can either use the GB or LT IBANs to make the transfer, neither of which are Irish. AIB require a card reader to complete international (including Eurozone) SEPA transfers, theres no way around that unfortunately. If you can borrow someone elses card reader, just use that

    They aren't a bank. They operate here under a Lithuanian emoney licence.
