What is Revolut Reader and how do I use it?
We no longer sell Revolut Readers, our TPA solution. Alternatively, make sales in person with Revolut Terminals, our all-in-one devices, or through Tap to Pay on iPhone.
Revolut Bank UAB, branch in Portugal, registered in Bank of Portugal under number 3560. Revolut Reader and Revolut Pro are registered trademarks owned by Revolut Bank UAB.
Connect the reader
You can still use already purchased Revolut Readers. Simply connect them to your Revolut app via Bluetooth. We'll handle all the setup for you, and make sure they're ready for immediate use once the updates are finished. For detailed instructions, read our customer 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.
If you're connecting a Revolut Reader TPA solution purchased from a different account, you can pair it via 'Tools' > 'Hardware' > 'Reader' > 'Pair'.
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 under any circumstances
- 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.
