Activate or terminate a physical card

To activate a new card

Card activation is an extra security measure we've added to make sure you've received your new physical Revolut card as expected. To activate your card in the Revolut mobile app:

  • Go to 'Home' on the bottom menu
  • Tap the card icon in the top-right corner
  • Choose the card you wish to activate
  • Tap 'Activate now'
  • Enter the 16 digits of your physical card
  • Tap 'Activate card'

Your card is now ready to use. For added security, contactless and online payments are disabled until the card is activated.

To terminate a card

If you need to, you can also terminate a card in the Revolut mobile app:

  • Go to 'Home' on the bottom menu
  • Tap the card icon in the top-right corner
  • Choose the card you wish to terminate
  • Tap 'Settings'
  • Scroll down and tap 'Terminate card'
