Revolut Card - Australia

6 replies

I recently got a Revolut card to use whilst holidaying in Europe which was fab but does anyone know if they are widely accepted in Australia? I would be using for purchases only, not cash withdrawals.

I'm not getting anywhere with Revolut on their Live Chat :-(

I’m not sure about Australia but be really careful with Revolut because you have no protection for your money once you’ve transferred it into your revolut account. I can’t remember the full details but a lot of banks won’t work with them now because they aren’t regulated.

I used mine in 2020 (last place I went before lockdown!) in Aus with no problems at all

I'm just reading through their blurb about this now

I've used mine online on an Australian shop for delivery in Australia. I just converted the amount before using it. Not sure if that's the same as using it in the country or not.

I see you can add currencies on the app so that's my plan prior to using it
