Can you receive money with Revolut?

Yes. You can receive money with Revolut in several different ways.

You can use Revolut to receive an international transfer with account information, you can get paid from a local Irish bank, or using a Revolut to Revolut payment if you prefer. We’ve also got details of how to receive money on Revolut with a link to request money from someone else - within Revolut or from another bank account.

Let’s look in more detail at how to receive money on Revolut from banks and other Revolut users.

Receiving local transfers with Revolut

Your Irish Revolut account offers an IE IBAN for receiving local EUR transfers within the EEA². You can give this to someone sending you money locally to receive a payment. There’s no Revolut fee to receive a payment, and the sender may not need to pay a fee either - this will come down to their own bank’s policy.

It’s helpful to know that there’s a Revolut receive money limit for some payments types. This limit is not disclosed, and is dynamic - so it can change depending on how you transact.³ If you ever hit a limit you’ll need to reach out to the Revolut team to get advice on how to proceed.

Receiving international transfers with Revolut

If you want to use Revolut to receive money from abroad you can also access local account information to receive a payment from the UK. This gives you a GBP local account sort code and account number.

If you use your GBP local account information to receive a payment, the chances are that the sender will pay no fee if they send from a UK bank. There’s no Revolut receive fee.

Now, if you want to use Revolut to receive money in a different currency you can get SWIFT account information for international transfers in all Revolut supported currencies.

In this case, there’s still no Revolut receive fee, but Revolut do warn that fees can still apply to the transfer, including a fee paid by the sender and intermediary bank fees which can add up quickly.

Revolut quotes the possible intermediary fees as being around 15 USD - 50 USD, which is about 13 EUR - 42 EUR at the time of writing.⁴

If you’d prefer to get local account information in more currencies, check out the Wise Account. You can get local account details for 8+ currencies including EUR, GBP, USD and CAD, for convenient incoming payments from a great range of countries. More on that later.

Receiving money with Revolut payment links

Revolut accounts offer the option to create a payment link or request which you can send to others.⁵ You can generate a payment link and send it to someone with a Revolut account, or someone who doesn't use Revolut.

Revolut payment links have the advantage that you won’t need to share your account details information to get a payment. Simply generate a link and the person sending you money can click through to send a secure payment easily.

Receiving Revolut to Revolut transfers

Finally, you can receive Revolut to Revolut transfers by sharing your Revtag, contact information or QR code. The sender can then pass over the money from their Revolut account quickly and easily.
