Revolut <18 card
Order a <18 card
In the main Revolut app:
- Go to 'Home' on the bottom menu
- Tap the card icon in top-right corner and 'Add new'
- Select '<18' at the top
- Choose an existing <18 account or create a new one
- Follow the prompts to complete your order
If you ordered a card but haven't received it within the specified timeframe, please let us know on chat.
Virtual cards aren't available to Revolut <18 customers.
Activate the <18 card
Your child needs to make a chip and PIN transaction in a shop or at an ATM. This will automatically activate the card.
If your child has entered their PIN incorrectly 3 times and has been locked out of their account, you can unblock their PIN/CVV from your Revolut app:
- Go to 'Home' on the bottom menu
- Below your balance, tap 'Accounts'
- Choose your child’s <18 account
- Tap their card and select 'Settings'
- Tap 'Unblock PIN/CVV'
If your child can't remember their PIN, you can view it from the <18 account's settings in your own Revolut app.
Spending abroad
Card payments abroad are available, even though Revolut <18 account holders can't hold foreign currency balances. We’ll perform currency exchange during a transaction.
If a plan limits are exceeded, charges for currency exchange and ATM withdrawals may apply.
Restricted merchants
We block merchant categories which generally aren't age-appropriate for children, such as alcohol, cigarettes, and gambling. We rely on the merchant’s registered business type (also known as an MCC code), not the actual details of what is being bought with a Revolut <18 card.
This process happens automatically, so there's no way for you or your child to reinstate a blocked merchant.
Contactless limit
Our contactless limit may differ depending on your region. If your transaction has been declined due to this limit, you simply need to make a chip and PIN payment to reset it.
