How It Works
So, you’re interested in joining Revolut and want to use a referral link? Great! Using a referral link is a win-win – the person referring you can earn a reward, and you get access to all the benefits Revolut has to offer. Here’s how it works:
- Click the Link: Click the referral link above.
- Verify: Revolut will verify your identity (photo of ID and a selfie).
- Order a physical card: Add it to Apple or Google Pay, and start using contactless!
- Make 3 purchases of £5 minimum each: Some transactions, like gambling, gift cards, or transfers don’t count.
- Reward total is random: and paid to you a few days after you complete all the steps.
Revolut FAQ
Do I need a specific Revolut referral code?
You don’t need to type in a code manually during sign-up. The referral tracking is embedded in the unique link. When you click a valid link (like the one on this page), the offer is automatically attached to your application.
What is the current Revolut referral reward for 2026?
Revolut referral campaigns change frequently (often every few weeks). The reward for the referrer typically varies between £10 and £200 per friend. For new users, the main benefit is a free account with market-leading exchange rates, though some specific campaigns occasionally offer a “Welcome Bonus” or free trial of Premium.
How do I qualify for the referral reward?
To unlock the reward (or allow your friend to get theirs), you typically need to complete 4 steps:
-
Sign up using the link.
-
Verify your identity (KYC).
-
Add money to your account (usually via bank transfer).
-
Order a physical Revolut card.
-
Make 3 separate purchases of at least £5 each.
Do I really need to order a physical card?
Yes. Even if you plan to use Apple Pay or Google Pay, ordering a physical card is almost always a strict requirement to “unlock” the referral status. On the Standard (free) plan, you may need to pay a small delivery fee for this card.
Do virtual card payments count towards the "3 purchases"?
Yes! This is the best shortcut. You do not need to wait for your physical card to arrive in the post. As soon as you order the physical card, you can instantly set up a Virtual Card (or use Apple/Google Pay) to make the 3 required purchases immediately.
What counts as a "valid purchase"?
The 3 purchases must be genuine spending (e.g., buying a coffee, groceries, or transport). Transfers, gambling transactions, buying gift cards, or currency exchanges do not count. The minimum spend is usually £5 per transaction.
Is there a time limit to complete the steps?
Yes. Revolut campaigns are very time-sensitive. You usually have a specific deadline (often roughly 20 days from the start of the campaign) to complete all steps, including the card order and payments. Check the specific deadline in the app.
Is the Revolut account free?
Yes. The Standard plan is 100% free and has no monthly subscription fees. It includes free spending abroad in 29+ currencies. You only pay for card delivery or if you choose to upgrade to Plus, Premium, or Metal.
Why hasn't the referral verified yet?
The most common reasons are:
-
The physical card wasn’t ordered.
-
The 3 purchases were less than £5 each.
-
The purchases were “pending” and didn’t clear before the deadline.
-
You bought something excluded (like a lottery ticket or gift card).
Can I refer my own friends after I join?
Absolutely. Once your account is active, you will get your own “Invite Friends” link in the app. You can earn significant rewards (often up to £200 per friend) for referring others, making it very lucrative to join and start sharing your own link.

Is Revolut worth it?
Revolut can be a great option for certain people, but whether it’s “worth it” really depends on your individual needs and financial habits.
Who might find Revolut valuable:
- Frequent travelers: Revolut’s competitive exchange rates and low international transaction fees can save you a lot of money compared to traditional banks when you’re abroad. This is often the biggest draw for people.
- People who send money internationally: Revolut often offers cheaper and faster international transfers than traditional methods.
- Those who want more control over their spending: Revolut’s budgeting and spending analysis tools can help you track where your money is going and make more informed financial decisions.
