There are some merchants that are not supported with your Revolut card. At the moment, this includes:

  • Financial securities brokers and dealers
  • Foreign exchange bureaus (including TravelEx ATMs)
  • Unmanned petrol stations (although you can still pay inside!)

Some merchants we allow up to a cumulative limit, after which you will need to verify your ID and confirm your top up cards to continue using them:

  • Payment services ($200 or equivalent)
  • Prepaid cards ($200 or equivalent)
  • Dating & Escort services ($200 or equivalent)
  • Betting/gambling services ($120 or equivalent)
  • Jewellery & Art dealers

Merchants are categorized by their merchant category code (MCC), and this is how we recognize what type of merchant they are. A merchant can sometimes wrongfully categorise under an MCC. If you receive a push notification saying ‘This merchant isn’t supported’ when it isn’t listed above, it is likely to be because of their MCC.
