My Revolut account
1. Why this information is important
This document sets out the terms and conditions for your Revolut personal account (your account) and its related services. It also sets out other important things that you need to know.
These terms and conditions, along with the Fees and Charges Section, Privacy Policy and any other terms and conditions that apply to our services, such as the Premium Terms, the Metal Terms, Website Terms, the Airport Lounge Terms, form a legal agreement (the agreement) between:
- you, the account holder; and
- us, Revolut Payments Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 21 634 823 180)
We are authorised by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission and hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL number 517589) to provide general financial product advice and deal in relation to non-cash payment products.
You can access a copy of these terms and conditions through the Revolut app at any time. To use all the functions of the app, you must be connected to the internet.
It's important for you to understand how your account works, so please read these terms and conditions carefully.
For some of our services, we charge fees. You can read about these on our Fees and Charges Section.
By accessing your account or using your Revolut prepaid debit card (Revolut Card) you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions and confirm receipt of the Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement which will be provided to you electronically.
2. What type of account is my Revolut Account?
Your account is a 'virtual' account that allows you to hold electronic money (also known as stored value) in a digital wallet. You may hold electronic money in different currencies in your account at the same time.
Electronic money is an electronic alternative to cash. If you give us money, we'll issue the equivalent value of electronic money in the currency you choose. The electronic money will be held in your account and may be accepted by other parties as payment.
3. Using your account
Once you have loaded funds into your account you'll be able to use our services. For example, you can do the following:
- send money to and receive money from other Revolut accounts and non-Revolut accounts;
- change money from one currency to another (we call this a currency exchange). The currencies available might change occasionally;
- make payments and withdraw cash using your Revolut Card; and
- view information about and manage your account.
We add new features and services all the time. We’ll let you know about these through the Revolut app, on the website or by email.
4. Can I open a Revolut account?
You’re eligible to open an account if:
- you’re 18 years old or over;
- you’re resident in Australia;
- you provide us any information that we reasonably require to identify you and to meet our legal and regulatory requirements.
Our Privacy Policy explains more about how we use your information for these and other purposes. When we have the information we need, we will open your account.
You can’t:
- open more than one Revolut personal account; or
- open a new Revolut account if we've previously closed a Revolut account.
5. How do I get information on payments into and out of my account?
You can check all payments into and out of your account through the Revolut app. It will be available to you through the Revolut app while you are a customer.
We will send a notification to your mobile device each time a payment goes into or out of your account. You can turn off these notifications, through the Revolut app or in your device’s settings, at any time. If you turn off notifications, you should regularly check your payments on the Revolut app. It's important that you know what payments go into and out of your account, so we recommend that you do not turn off notifications.
Communicating with you
We'll usually communicate with you through the Revolut app or our website.
This is how we will provide account information and tell you about any fraud, or suspected fraud, relating to your account. It is also how we will tell you if there is a security threat to your account.
All information about our products and services will be provided to you electronically either via the Revolut app or on our website. This includes the Product Disclosure Statement, the Financial Services Guide and the Fees and Charges Section.
Please make sure you regularly check the Revolut app and our website for this information.
To help keep your account safe, download the latest software for your mobile device and the latest version of the Revolut app as soon as they are available.
We may also communicate with you by text message or email, so you should regularly check your text messages and email account.
Keep us in the loop
Please keep your details up to date and let us know immediately if any information you've given us changes. If we discover that any of your information is incorrect we will update it.
To meet our legal and regulatory requirements we might sometimes need to ask for more information about you (for example, if your spending increases). If you do not supply this information we may not be able to continue to provide you services. Please provide this information quickly so that there is no disruption to your account or our services.
6. How do I close my account?
You can close your account, and so end the agreement, at any time by letting us know. You can do this through the Revolut app, by emailing us at feedback@revolut.com.
You will still have to pay any charges you've incurred and are outstanding (for example, if you've asked for an extra Revolut Card). We may also charge you any cancellation fees that apply to other agreements you've entered into with us (for example, if you cancel your Premium or Metal subscription).
When you tell us you want to close your account we will give you the opportunity to withdraw the money we hold for you (we call this redemption).
Cancelling your Revolut Card
If you change your mind and don't want a Revolut Card any more, that's not a problem. Just let us know and we'll cancel it.
7. What happens after my account is closed?
We'll hold back enough money to cover any payments that you committed to before your account was closed. You'll also still owe us any money that you owed us while your account was open.
Keeping my account safe
8. Keeping your security details and Revolut Card safe
We ask you to keep your security details and Revolut Card safe. This means you shouldn't keep your security details near your Revolut Card, and you should disguise or protect them if you write them down or store them. Don’t share your PIN or security details with anyone.
Sometimes it's easy to forget to take the steps you should take to keep your money safe. Here are a couple of tips:
- make sure you close down the Revolut app when you're not using it; and
- keep your mobile phone and your email account secure and don't let other people use them.
Contact us through the Revolut app, as soon as possible, if your Revolut Card is lost or stolen, or if your Revolut Card or security details could be used without your permission.
If you can, you should also freeze your Revolut Card immediately using the Revolut app or by calling the automated number below. If you later realise there’s not a risk to your Revolut Card's security, you can unfreeze it.

9. Are there any restrictions on using the Revolut app or Revolut Card?
Please act reasonably and responsibly when using the Revolut app or Revolut Card.
For example, the Revolut app or Revolut Card must not be used (directly or indirectly) as follows:
- for illegal purposes (for example, committing fraud);
- in a way that we reasonably believe might harm our ability to provide our services;
- only to send money to and receive money from a credit card account;
- for any transactions to receive cash other than making a withdrawal from an ATM (cash machine);
- to control or use a Revolut account that’s not yours;
- to give Revolut Cards to any other person;
- to allow anyone else to have access to or use your account or the Revolut app;
- to abuse, exploit or get around any usage restrictions set by a service provider your Revolut Card is registered with. For example, you must only use one Revolut Card for any particular service provider that offers a free subscription or trial period; or
- to trade in foreign currencies for speculative purposes (that is, to take advantage of any expected rise or fall in the value of a currency) or to take advantage of discrepancies in the foreign exchange market.
We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue the provision of services to you where the use of the Revolut Card or Revolut app breaches these restrictions. For further information please refer to section 22 of these Personal Terms.
Please also act in a respectful way towards us and our support staff – we're here to help you.
Moving money in and out
10. Adding money to my account
You can add money to your account using a debit card or credit card registered with us (we call this your stored card) or by bank transfer. Your stored card must be in your name.
When you add money by bank transfer, you must use the account details (e.g. BSB and account number, IBAN or SWIFT code) displayed in the Revolut app. When we receive the money we will add the equivalent value to your Revolut account. Make sure you follow the prompts from the app carefully to avoid any delays.
Never worry about the balance of your Revolut account getting too low
We know that it's important to be able to make payments from your account whenever you want. You can authorise us to add money to your account from your stored card whenever the value of money in your account drops below a certain amount. We call this an auto top-up. You can cancel an auto top-up at any time through the Revolut app or by contacting your card provider.
Payment limits
Sometimes we might limit how much you can receive into or pay from your account, or how much you can withdraw or spend using your Revolut Card. We might also limit the value of currency exchange you can carry out at any one time or over a period of time and we will let you know via the Revolut app.
Keep your currency consistent
It's important that any payment to your account is made in the currency of your account. Otherwise, the payment will be converted to the currency of your account. This means that your account might be credited with more or less than you expected. Your bank or card provider might also charge for the currency conversion. We won't be responsible for any losses if this happens.
11. Transferring money between Revolut accounts
You can send money to, and receive money from, other Revolut accounts. We call these sorts of payments instant transfers.
You can make an instant transfer to another Revolut user’s account by choosing them from the contacts list in the Revolut app and following the prompts. The other person will receive the transfer immediately.
Group vaults
If you are a member of a group vault, you can send instant transfers to that as well.
A group vault is an account set up and controlled by an individual Revolut user. All members of a group vault can see the group vault’s transactions and may leave it at any time. Only the Revolut user who established the group vault (the owner) can take money out of it, close it, and add or remove other members of the group vault. You should only join a group vault, or send money to a group vault, if you trust the owner.
12. Making other types of payments
It's easy to send money to your own or someone else's bank account. You can make a one-off payment or set up a recurring payment. Just enter the account details of the account you’re sending money to in the Revolut app and follow the prompts. We may need to ask for other information as well.
Using your Revolut Card
You can also make payments or withdraw cash using your Revolut Card.
When you use your Revolut Card to make a withdrawal from an ATM or make a payment (for example, in a shop or restaurant), we will consider the payment to be authorised by you unless:
- you let us know that the money has been stolen from your account; or
- you don't think we've carried out your instructions correctly.
Sometimes we might charge you a fee for making withdrawals. You can read about these fees in our Fees and Charges Section.
We are not responsible for losses where payments are returned in a different currency
Sometimes, money you've asked us to transfer to someone is not paid into their account and is returned to us. If we had to carry out a currency exchange when we sent the payment, and can show that we did everything right, when we return the money to you we'll convert it back to the original currency. This means that the amount you receive back into your account might be less than the payment you made (or it could be more!). We would not be responsible for any losses that this causes you.
Take care entering the details of the person you want to pay
When you enter the details of the person you want to pay, make sure the details are correct. If they’re not, your payment might be delayed or you might lose your money if it's sent to the wrong account.
Make sure you know the person you are making a payment to. If someone approaches you and asks you to make a payment to them, but you are not sure who they are or what the payment is for, you may be a victim of a scam.
If the person you want to pay does not receive the money, we won't be responsible if we processed the payment correctly but you gave us the wrong details.
Any error in information you enter may result in a bank transfer being unsuccessful or delayed. If you do make any payment in error you should advise us immediately and we will use reasonable endeavours to investigate and resolve any mistaken payments.
13. What happens if a payment was sent to the wrong account, wasn’t sent at all or was delayed?
We'll always try to process your payments correctly and on time, but sometimes things go wrong and a payment might be delayed or not received by the person you wanted to pay. A payment may also occur when you haven’t authorised it (for example, if someone steals and uses your Revolut Card). The table below sets out when each of us will be liable if something goes wrong with payments.
What happened? | What we’ll do |
---|---|
You entered the wrong account or other details when making the payment | If we’re unable to get the money back we’re not required to reimburse you for your loss. |
You received a payment by mistake (for example, because someone entered your account details by mistake when making a payment) | We can take this amount from your account to return it to the person who it belongs to. |
A payment from your account or Revolut Card has been made without your authorisation and paragraph d) below does not apply. | If you tell us within 120 days of the transaction, we’ll pay you the full amount that was debited without your authorisation. |
A payment from your account or Revolut Card has been made without your authorisation and you have: acted fraudulently; orintentionally or with gross negligence failed to keep your security details and Revolut Card safe as required under this agreement. | We’re not required to reimburse you for your loss as a result of the unauthorised transaction (i.e. you’ll bear the loss) except to the extent that any part of the loss was a result of us or our third-party service providers acting fraudulently or with gross negligence (to that extent, we’ll bear the loss). |
A payment from your account or Revolut Card has been made without your authorisation as a result of us or our service providers acting fraudulently or with gross negligence. | We’ll pay you the full amount that was debited without your authorisation except to the extent that any part of the loss was a result of you acting fraudulently or with gross negligence (to that extent, you’ll bear the loss). |
A payment is delayed | If we can show that the delay occurred for reasons outside of our control, we’re not liable to you for any loss. If we did cause the delay, we’re liable to the extent that we caused it and the loss was foreseeable. We’re not liable if we’ve refused or delayed the payment under section 18 of these Personal Terms or because of any delay caused by a third party to the provision of our services. |
These rules don't apply to currency exchanges, which are instantaneous.
14. Send and receive money using a payment link
You can send money to a friend who doesn't have a Revolut account by setting up a ‘payment link’. You can do this by going into the Revolut app, entering the amount you want to send, clicking on ‘create payment link’, and sending the link to your friend.
You can also create a payment link to receive payments and send that link to your friend.
Once you've sent the link to your friend, they can complete the payment link by entering the details that are needed for them to send money to your account or receive money from it.
- If you are receiving less than £250 (or the equivalent in a different currency), your friend will need to enter their debit or credit card details into the link within 24 hours. The payment will then be made from their card.
- If you are sending less than £250 (or the equivalent in a different currency), your friend will need to enter their bank account details into the link within 24 hours. The payment will then be made to their bank account.
- If you are sending or receiving more than £250 (or the equivalent in a different currency), your friend will be asked to join Revolut in order to complete the transaction.
Sometimes, even if the payment amount is less than £250 (or the equivalent in a different currency), your friend who receives the payment link may need to open a Revolut account before they can receive a payment. If they don't open a Revolut account on time, we may not be able to make the payment to them or from them.
15. What exchange rate do you use?
If you tell us to make a currency exchange, or we need to convert the currency of a payment into or out of your account or a cash withdrawal made using your Revolut Card, we'll use an exchange rate based on our market rate, which is based on foreign-exchange markets. This means we use a variable exchange rate which is changing constantly. We add a percentage mark-up if:
- the currency isn’t always easily available (for example, Thai baht); or
- you tell us to make a conversion outside foreign-exchange-market hours. A conversion will be outside foreign-exchange-market hours if it is during the weekend or a public holiday in London, United Kingdom.
You can see our current exchange rates in the Revolut app. Once we've converted the currency, your transaction history in the app will show the exchange rate we used. We use the rate that applies at the time we carry out the conversion.
You may choose to auto-exchange currency in your Revolut app, which means that a currency exchange is carried out at the best available rate after the exchange rate reaches your target value. At the time an auto-exchange is triggered you will need to have sufficient balance in your account to perform an auto-exchange.
For security reasons we limit the amount of exchanges / auto-exchanges to 30 in a 24-hour period.
You can find more details of our mark-up in our Fees and Charges Section.
We’re not responsible if:
- you lose any money as a result of converting currency; or
- you’re charged any fees or lose any money because you're using your Revolut Card in another country and you ask the retailer (or the retailer's bank) to make the conversion. (For example, imagine you're an Australian customer travelling in Japan. When you pay your bill at a restaurant you agree to pay in Australian dollars rather than yen. This means you've asked for the retailer's bank to convert the currency. We can't be responsible if that bank gives you a worse exchange rate or charges you fees).
16. Can I cancel a payment or currency exchange?
You can cancel a recurring or scheduled payment at any time up to the end of the business day before the payment is due to be paid from your account.
You can't cancel a payment on the same day it's due to be paid from your account. This means that you cannot cancel transfers between Revolut accounts as they are instantaneous.
You also can't cancel a currency exchange once we've received your request to carry it out.
17. How long does it take to make a payment?
We understand that when you make a payment, one of the most important things is that the person the payment is for receives it on time. When their bank will receive the money depends on what time you tell us to make the payment, and the currency you want us to make it in. Typically this will take between 1 to 3 business days from receiving your payment instructions but we will advise you of an estimated time frame within the Revolut app when you make a payment instruction.
Payments into your Revolut Account will usually be made within 1 business day of Revolut Australia receiving cleared funds.
If you tell us to make a currency exchange you will receive the converted money in your digital wallet immediately.
18. When we will refuse or delay a payment
We will refuse to make a payment, or delay a payment, in the following circumstances:
- if legal or regulatory requirements prevent us from making the payment or mean that we need to carry out further checks;
- if you have broken these terms and conditions in a way that we reasonably believe justifies us refusing or delaying your payment;
- if we believe that processing your instruction would break these terms and conditions or that your instruction doesn't contain all the information we need to make the payment properly;
- if there is not enough money available in your account to make the payment and cover any charge;
- if a bankruptcy order is made against you or you've entered into an individual voluntary arrangement with your creditors;
- if, even after doing everything reasonably possible, we won't be able to make the payment on time;
- if a third party prevents us from making the payment (for example, if Mastercard or Visa do not allow a payment or cash withdrawal using your Revolut Card);
- if you owe us money or we intend to exercise our right of set-off (as explained below);
- if we have asked you for important information we reasonably need and you have not given us that information; or
- if we have suspended your account.
We may also refuse to issue a new Revolut Card if you do not have enough money in your account to pay us to issue or deliver the card.
When we refuse to make a payment, we’ll always try to let you know
If we can, we’ll use the Revolut app to tell you that we have refused to make a payment. If you'd like to find out why we refused the payment, and what you can do to solve any problem, please contact us through the app.
We won't be responsible for any losses you suffer as a result of us refusing or delaying a payment.
19. Third-party fees for making or receiving payments
We don't charge any fees for making or receiving payments. However, other banks involved, such as the bank of the person you are paying or certain correspondent or intermediary banks (banks that help transfer the money between other banks) might sometimes take their fees from the payment you're sending or receiving. This could mean that you or the person you are paying receives less than expected. For example, you could only receive $90 from someone who has sent you $100 because the other person’s bank has charged a $10 fee.
We will always give you the full amount we receive from another bank. Likewise, we will always send the full amount that you ask us to send, but we can’t guarantee that the full amount will be paid into the other person’s account without a fee being taken by another bank.
What happens if something goes wrong
20. What happens if someone steals from my account?
Let us know as soon as possible through the Revolut app . We'll pay the money back into your account if any of the following apply:
- you couldn't have known that your security details or Revolut Card were at risk of being misused;
- the payment happened because someone we're responsible for made a mistake;
- the payment was taken after you told us that someone knew your security details or that your Revolut Card was lost or stolen, or we didn't give you a way to tell us about this;
- you made a payment to pay for certain goods or services you bought online or through some other method that is not face-to-face (there are some types of contracts this might not apply to, such as contracts for rental accommodation, but we can give you more information about this when you let us know about the problem) and the payment is eligible for a chargeback under the card scheme rules.
We won't refund any money if you've acted fraudulently, or you intentionally or carelessly failed to keep your security details or Revolut Card safe (unless you told us about this before the payment was taken from your account). For example, we wouldn’t make a refund if you gave someone your Revolut Card PIN and they made a payment using your card without you knowing about it.
21. When we might block your account or Revolut Card
The safety of your money is important to us. We might prevent you from making payments from your account or with your Revolut Card if we're reasonably concerned about its security or that it might be used fraudulently or without your permission.
We might also have to block your account or Revolut Card to meet our legal obligations.
We'll tell you through the Revolut app before, or as soon as possible after, we block your Revolut app or Card. We'll also let you know why we've done it (unless it would reduce your or our security or it would be unlawful).
22. When could you suspend or close my account?
We may close or suspend your account immediately, and end your access to our platform, in exceptional circumstances. Exceptional circumstances include the following:
- if we have good reason to suspect that you are behaving fraudulently;
- if you haven't given us (or someone acting on our behalf) any information we need to satisfy our own internal processes or legal requirements, or we have good reason to believe that information you have provided is incorrect or not true;
- if you've broken these terms and conditions in a serious or persistent way and you haven't put the matter right within a reasonable time of us asking you to;
- if we have good reason to believe that your use of the Revolut app is harmful to us or our software, systems or hardware;
- if we have good reason to believe that you continuing to use your account could damage our reputation or goodwill;
- if we have asked you to repay money you owe us and you have not done so within a reasonable period of time; or
- if we have to do so under any law, regulation, court order or instructions of a regulator.
We may also decide to close or suspend your account for other reasons but we would contact you through the Revolut app at least 30 days before we do this. Closing your account and ending the agreement may also end any other agreements you have with us or through us.
23. We can change these terms
From time to time we may need to change these terms and conditions, including:
- if we think it will make them easier to understand or more helpful to you;
- to reflect the way our business is run, particularly if the change is needed because of a change in the way any financial system or technology is provided;
- to reflect legal or regulatory requirements that apply to us;
- to reflect changes in the cost of running our business; or
- because we are changing or introducing new services or products that affect our existing services or products covered by these terms and conditions.
Telling you about changes
We’ll notify you of any changes to these terms and conditions through the Revolut app. If we add a new product or service that doesn't change the terms and conditions of your account or increase the amount of fees and charges payable by you, we can add the product or service immediately and let you know before you use it.
For changes that we believe are not adverse to your interests we will tell you about the change no later than the day the change occurs. Otherwise, we'll provide you with 30 days notice through the Revolut app before we make any change. We'll assume you're happy with the change unless you tell us that you want to close your account before the change is made.
24. Are you responsible if something goes wrong with my account, my Revolut Card or the Revolut app?
We'll do as much as reasonably possible to make sure that our services are not interrupted and are accessible at a reasonable speed. However, we can't promise that this will always be the case or that the services will be free from faults. We also rely on some third parties to provide services to you, which can sometimes disrupt our services. We’ll always do our best to solve any problems with our services, no matter what the cause.
If you have a Revolut Card, we will let you know about any changes to our system that will affect your ability to use the card.
We will not be responsible for losses resulting from us failing to meet our obligations for payments into and out of your account because:
- of a legal or regulatory requirement; or
- unforeseeable events outside our control, which were unavoidable at the time.
If you can't use your Revolut Card for any reason we will only be responsible to you for replacing the card.
If we break the agreement, we will only be responsible for any loss that we could have foreseen at the time we entered into the agreement.
Nothing in these terms and conditions removes or limits our liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or from fraud or fraudulent claims and statements.
25. How you might owe us money
You cannot borrow money on your account (for example, make payments of more than the value of the money in it). If your balance becomes negative (for example, because you do not have enough e-money to cover fees you owe us), you must top up your account immediately.
If you owe us money, we can take the amount you owe us from any amount we are due to pay to you. We call this our right of set-off.
Paying fees or other amounts you owe us (other than third-party fees for making or receiving payments)
The fees you may have to pay us are listed in our Fees and Charges Section.
If you owe us fees (other than third-party fees for making or receiving a payment) or any other amount, we'll take the amount you owe us from your account, in Australian dollars (your base currency).
If not enough money is held in your base currency, we'll take the equivalent value from money you hold in another currency. If you don't have enough money in your account to pay the fees or other amounts you owe us, we might recover the amount in another way, as explained below.
You may be responsible for paying taxes or costs that apply to payments you make or receive through your account and that we are not responsible for collecting from you.
If you owe us money and you don't top up your account or repay us within seven days, we can recover the amount by:
- taking the amount you owe us from your stored card;
- exercising our right of set-off; or
- taking other legal steps to recover the money you owe us, such as instructing lawyers or debt collectors.
If we take any (or all) of these steps, we might charge you our reasonable costs.
26. When you might be responsible for our losses
You may be responsible to us for certain losses
If you have broken these terms and conditions, and this has caused us to suffer a loss, the following will apply:
- you will be responsible for any losses we suffer as a result of your action (we will try to keep the losses to a minimum);
- if your actions result in us losing profits, you may also be responsible for those losses. You won't be responsible if this would mean that we are compensated twice for the same loss; and
- you will also be responsible for any reasonable legal costs that arise as a result of our losses.
27. How to make a complaint

Legal bits and pieces
28. Permission for us to process your personal information
To provide services under the agreement we need to collect information about you. For more information about how we use your personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
By entering into the agreement you are giving us permission to gather, process and store your personal information for the purpose of providing our services to you. You can withdraw your permission by closing your account, which will end the agreement between you and us. If you do this, we’ll stop using your information for the purpose of providing our services, but we may need to keep your information for other legal reasons.
29. How we use your information
We will hold and use all information relating to you in accordance with our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy prevails to the extent of any inconsistency between the Privacy Policy and these terms and conditions.

My Revolut account
3. About the Revolut Account
3.1 What is it?
The Revolut Account is an account which records the electronic money issued to you in exchange for money Revolut Australia receives from you (otherwise known as stored value) when you open the account or top it up later.
3.2 How to open an account
You can apply for a Revolut Account online or through the Revolut app. You must meet the eligibility requirements set out in the Personal Terms.
3.3 How you can use it
You can use the stored value held in your Revolut Account to make the following types of transactions:
- Revolut Dashboard Transactions – these are transactions available through the Revolut Dashboard on the RevolutApp (the Revolut Dashboard Transactions); or
- Revolut Card Transactions – these are transactions using your Card, such as the purchase of goods and services and ATM withdrawals (the Revolut Card Transactions).
We set out below more information about each of these types of transactions. Revolut Australia provides only electronic receipts for these transactions. You may be able to obtain a physical hard copy receipt from a merchant if you make a purchase or withdraw money from an ATM.
3.4 Adding Funds
You can load and top up funds to your Revolut Account by bank transfer or by using a credit card, debit card, or other payment card which you can register through the Revolut Dashboard on the Revolut app. You can also set up automatic top-up.
The process for topping up your Revolut Account is explained in more detail in the Personal Terms.
3.5 Key Differences from a Bank Account
A Revolut Account is not a bank account and is not linked to a bank account held by you. The key differences between the Revolut Account and a bank account are:
- Electronic money (also known as stored value) held in your Revolut Account represents a claim against Revolut Australia only.
- We cannot and will not use the funds we hold in relation to a Revolut Account to lend to others.
- The Revolut Account does not accrue interest.
- The Revolut Account is not covered by the Financial Claims Scheme that operates in Australia.
4. Revolut Card Transactions
4.1 How you can apply for and activate your Card
When you open a Revolut Account, you will be sent a Card which you can use for Revolut Card Transactions. Before using your Card, you must first activate it using the Revolut app. Follow the steps in the Revolut app.
4.2 How you can use your card
Once you have activated your Card and added funds to your Revolut Account, you can use the Card to:
(a) pay for goods and services at retailers that display the Card scheme symbol; and
(b) obtain cash through ATMs.
When you use your Card to do these transactions, the balance of your electronic money will be reduced in your Revolut Account accordingly.
To use the Card, present it at the time of payment or withdrawal and enter your details.
4.3 Fees and Charges
Some of these transactions may incur charges as set out in the Fees and Charges Section.
Merchants and ATMs may also impose additional charges or fees for transactions which you will need to pay.
5. Revolut Dashboard Transactions
5.1 Overview
The Revolut Dashboard is a portal available via the Revolut app which allows Revolut Australia users to do the following types of transactions:
- Currency Exchange – You can use the electronic money in your Revoluty Account in one currency to purchase electronic money in another currency using our exchange rates
- Instant Transfer – You can transfer electronic money in your Revolut Account to the Revolut Account of another Revolut User (Instant Transfer).
- Bank Transfer – You can transfer electronic money in your Revolut Account to bank accounts in the Revolut Dashboard (Bank Transfer).
Some of these transactions may incur charges as set out in the Fees and Charges Section. The charges may also be displayed on the Revolut Dashboard when you perform a transaction. You may need to accept the charges in order to make the transaction.
5.2 Important information about currency exchange
The terms applicable to currency exchange transactions are set out in detail in the Personal Terms. It is important that you are aware that:
- Revolut Australia will not be responsible for any losses you incur as a result of you using the Revolut Account unless such loss was as a result of Revolut Australia or its supplier’s gross negligence or fraudulent conduct.
- You can exchange a limited amount of electronic money at the interbank rate. Please refer to the Fees and Charges Section for more information on the interbank rate. It is your responsibility to stay informed of any changes to the limits and fees applied to any exchanges at the interbank rate.
- The currencies of electronic money which you are able to purchase and store in your Revolut Account are limited to those set out on the Revolut Dashboard and are subject to change from time to time without us being required to provide you with notice.
5.3 Instant Transfers and Bank Transfers
The terms applicable to Instant Transfers and Bank Transfers are set out in the Personal Terms.
It is important that you are aware that any information you enter in error may result in a Bank Transfer being unsuccessful or delayed. If you do make any payment in error you should advise us immediately and we will use reasonable endeavours to investigate and resolve any mistaken payments. We are not liable for any losses you may incur from entering incorrect bank Account details for your transfer (except where caused by our fraud or gross negligence).
If, for whatever reason, the funds are not deposited in the bank account to which you attempted to transfer them and are returned to us, they will be converted into the currency of the electronic money they were originally withdrawn from. Due to the difference in price for purchasing and selling currencies and/or fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the amount of electronic money you receive back into your Revolut Account may be more or less than what was originally redeemed to perform the Revolut Bank Transfer.
Revolut Australia is not liable for any losses you incur in this respect except where caused by our fraud or gross negligence.
6. Important Conditions
The following important conditions apply to your Card and your Revolut Account:
- Revolut Australia may refuse to enter into any transaction with you at any time and for any reason.
- You must not make purchases, withdrawals or transfers that exceed the balance of funds available in your Revolut Account.

Different margins on currency conversion will apply for high-frequency standard customers. A high-frequency standard customer is someone who:
- is a standard customer (not a Premium or Metal user); and
- has exchanged above A$9,000 (or equivalent in a different currency) in any 30 day period (the Currency Exchange Allowance).
The higher margin applicable to a high-frequency standard customer shall only apply to any aggregate amount exchanged over the Currency Exchange Allowance. You can find your remaining Currency Exchange Allowance for the current 30 day period displayed in the Revolut app at any time.

With Smart Delay, we’ll hook you up with some free lounge passes if your flight is delayed by one hour or more. You just need to input your flight details in the app, and we’ll keep track of your flight’s arrival time.
3. How many lounge passes can I get?
Premium customers get one lounge pass for themselves, plus one for a travel companion. Metal customers get one lounge pass for themselves, and up to three lounge passes for travel companions.
