If you’re a new Revolut customer or are thinking of signing up, you’ll need to get to grips with what you can do with your UK account.

You may want to top up your Revolut account with a credit card - but is it possible? And if so, how do you go about it?

Find out everything you need to know here in this handy guide, including an alternative which could potentially suit you better - the Wise account, which lets you manage your money in 40+ currencies in the UK and worldwide.

Is it possible to top up Revolut with a credit card?

Unfortunately, it’s not currently possible to top up a Revolut account with a credit card here in the UK (although you may be able to do it in other countries).¹

At present, you can only add funds to your Revolut balance using a debit card (Visa or Mastercard). You can also add money via a bank transfer from another bank account, or via Google Pay or Apple Pay.²

In a relatively new development, the platform has also added cash deposits to its list of supported payment methods. You can generate a barcode and deposit cash at a selected list of retailers via Paysafecash.²

Steps to top up your Revolut account with a card
