Failed payments on the Revolut Reader

In case of payment failure, payment will appear 'failed' or 'declined' in the payments list on the Merchant account (if you're not on the new app interface, see transactions list). The customer's card won't be charged.

To check if you're on the new app interface, see this FAQ.

Transactions may fail for different reasons. The most common are:

  • The customer doesn't have enough cash in their account
  • The PIN entered by the customer is incorrect
  • The customer's using a card we don't support
  • Your internet connection is unstable
  • Payments can only be accepted in the country where your business is registered and in its local currency

If you've followed all the steps above:

  • Ask the customer to try with a different card
  • Make sure your phone has a reliable internet connection
  • Try restarting both the Revolut Reader and the Revolut Business mobile app
