Linked bank accounts
Link external bank accounts to your Revolut account for easier transfers. Linked accounts should be a personal or savings account in your own name.
How to link a bank account
In the Revolut app:
- Go to 'Home' on the bottom menu
- Below your balance, tap 'Add money'
- You may have to tap 'Change' button to select the top-up method
- Select 'Connect new bank account'
- Choose a bank to link your account to
- You'll then be redirected to the bank's login page to authorise the set-up
- Once authorisation has been confirmed with the bank, you'll be redirected to the Revolut app
Once linked, your approval is valid for 90 days unless you revoke permission earlier. The 90-day period will be extended again for 90 days if you top up after linking your account. It only takes a few minutes to link your bank account with Revolut.
Difficulty linking a bank account
A poor connection can cause problems when linking your account. Close both your Revolut app and the external banking website or app, and try again once your connection is stronger.
If you still encounter an error in the Revolut app, request live support by typing 'Live agent' in the in-app chat for more assistance.
In case the error only appears after leaving the Revolut app (i.e. in the verification screen from your bank, or when you don't get redirected correctly), it's best to reach out to the external bank for further support.
How to add money from a linked account
You can add money normally from your external banking app's 'Home' screen.

Timeframes
If your linked account supports instant transfers, your deposit should arrive instantly after authorisation, but may take several minutes.
