What is Revolut Reader and how do I use it?

We no longer sell Revolut Readers. Alternatively, make sales in person through Tap to Pay on iPhone.

Connect the reader

You can still use already purchased Revolut Readers. To connect them to the Revolut app:

  • Go to 'Tools'
  • Select 'Hardware'
  • Select 'Reader'
  • Select 'Pair'
  • For detailed instructions, read our guide

Revolut Reader pairs with the Revolut app via Bluetooth on your mobile device, which must have Wi-Fi or mobile network connectivity for transactions. Customers who did not use or purchase a Revolut Reader before its discontinuation are no longer able to connect one to their account.

Pro account payment timelines

  • For your first payout, there’s a 7-day waiting period. This is necessary for risk mitigation and cannot be waived during this period
  • 24-hour settlement: your settlement time will go from 7 days to 24 hours after you successfully process one in-person sale or accept a certain number of online payments without any chargebacks

Once you unlock 24-hour settlement, all future payments will arrive in your account within 24 hours. Settlement timeframes may vary based on your transaction history and whether your account requires any additional checks.
