Declined card payment isn't visible in-app
If your transaction was declined and isn't visible in-app, it's probably due to restrictions by the merchant, technical issues, card type issues (with single-use or virtual cards), or because the merchant doesn't accept Revolut cards (check this FAQ for more details). Since we have no visibility of the decline reason from our side, we recommend reaching out to the merchant first. If they can't help, tap 'Troubleshoot my declined transaction' at the end of this article.
You can also fill out this form to help us raise the issue directly with the merchant.
Card damage
If you're trying to pay with your physical card and the same method (chip and PIN, contactless, or swipe) continues to fail multiple times, check your card for damage and consider ordering a replacement card in-app. Fees may apply.
