How do I receive money from another Revolut user? I thought this would be really easy, but we can’t get it to work at all.
A work colleague who also uses Revolut wants to give me RON 100. He tried to use the near me feature that appears in his Revolut iPhone app, bit it didn’t find me - maybe because I have Android, or maybe it just doesn’t work for some reason.
So, he tried creating a payment link, and sending it to me (in WhatsApp). I received the link, but it does nothing. If I click on it, it opens in Chrome, but then gets stuck asking me for my country.
Try to give permission of your contacts, than you will see your friend (if you have the phone number) as member to which you can send money in the Payments tab
Cheers. Neither of us wants to give Revolut access to our contacts. It damaged my contacts when I did that a while back. Now fix d, bit not letting it near them again!
Internal contact? This obviously does not work on Android. You are asked “Allow contact access” and when you click “Not now” you are back in this screen. I am still on 5.9.
Hmmm, it doesn’t work now… Near me doesn’t work without Contact privileges in my case too Strange, I am pretty sure that it have worked without this privilege in the past …
Finally got it to work with a link, after much prodding at the screen.
It’s all pretty poor - Revolut seems a bit flakey once you get out of the sweetspot if using it as a prepaid card for foreign currency payments at a POS.
