Paying by Revolut while travelling
👉 Revolut automatically converts your balance to the currency of the payment if you choose to pay in it. There's no need to worry about pre-purchasing available currencies before your trip.
When you make a card payment, we check the balance in the currency of the payment and deduct the funds.
👉 If there are insufficient funds, we'll charge the base currency (it's determined by your home address). If your base currency balance is low, we'll charge the next active account that has enough funds available.
If there isn't enough money in a single currency wallet to cover the payment, the transaction will be declined.

If you want a specific currency to be charged, navigate to 💳 Cards section, by tapping the card icon in the top right → Select the specific card → ⚙️ Settings → Choose the desired currency under 'spend from' → Select 'all cash accounts', or your preferred currency for charges.
Card payments will then be charged in the currency order you've selected.
