How to make cash deposits

How to deposit cash

In the Revolut mobile app:

  • Go to 'Home' on the bottom menu
  • Tap 'Add Money'
  • Set the currency to GBP
  • Tap 'Change' and select 'Deposit cash'
  • Add the cash amount you wish to deposit
  • View the fee and select 'Generate barcode'
  • Follow the instructions at your chosen retailer, stating you wish to deposit cash via Paysafecash

You can only complete a Paysafecash top-up at the WHSmith self-checkout if you don't have other items in the basket.

Your barcode will be valid for 30 minutes, but you can always get a new one. If you want to change the amount, tap 'See barcode' from your 'Home' screen and 'Cancel deposit'. Follow the steps again to generate a new barcode.

Fees, limits, and timeframes

All cash deposits will incur a 1.5% fee.

Cash deposits are limited to:

  • £500 per deposit
  • £750 per calendar day
  • £2250 per calendar month
  • £10000 per calendar year

The funds usually take 8–10 minutes to appear on your Revolut account. However, in some cases it may take up to 30 minutes.
