Restricted card deposits
Why are there new restrictions?
Changes to card scheme rules on 30th September 2024 mean that the movement of money from one account to another through a card (adding money to / topping up your Revolut account by card) is now going to be classified differently.
What will change?
Customers won't be able to:
- Top-up using cards issued in India
- Top-up into US accounts using cards issued outside the US
Additionally, a small number of card issuers on the Visa network don't currently support this new classification.
What top-up methods does this impact?
The following top-up methods won't work with any card the new rules don't support:
- Adding money to your account through saving the card in the Revolut app
- Adding money to your account via Apple Pay or Google Pay
- Adding money to your account via a payment link
What is Revolut doing to fix this?
Ultimately, this is a restriction that's mandated by card schemes and Revolut must adhere to this new rule.
Does this impact other top-up methods?
This does not impact other methods of adding money to your Revolut account.
You can try a card issued on the Mastercard network or try an alternative method to add money to your account. Fees may apply.
