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.
