Withdrawals denied in Spain

Discussion
1

Hi,

tried in 4 different banks ( BBVA, Santader, Caixa , Unicaja) to withdraw some cash (€50 with available balance more than €200) and all transaction were denied.During the process everything looked ok (bank screen message to collect money) amount deducted from Revolut balance but in the end the transaction denied by the bank ( scree message). After approx 5/10 minutes amount returning to Revolut balance and no notification of denied transaction.
Can please someone confirm that managed to withdraw money without any issues or has an idea what could be the problem??? ( of course ATM withdrawals option is ok)

Hey there @blacknusa :slight_smile:

Yes, I withdrew around 3 days ago in LiberBank, success… :frowning:
Avoid Santander and BBVA (high fees), by the way.

Did you ever try to withdraw or pay with the card before? Did it succeed? :slight_smile:

Hey, make sure you have ATM feature enabled!

Hi @anon33247966 …as said the ATM option is ok…for some reason the banks denied to give the money despite the transactions were fully executed ( i’ve received a notification from Revolut app that the money got deducted and after 5/10 minutes the funds returned to my R account)

Was this today or on Friday?

I can take a closer look into your account and investigate what’s going on.

Are you able to reach me out via a DM.

Really? I have only been able to withdraw cash money with Ibercaja bank without any fee. The rest of them had to pay at least 2€ commission. So strange…

Hi guys!
I am currently experiencing the exact same issue in Spain, got a new card and withdrawals are consequently being declined.
Any tips or workarounds here?
Support said to ask the bank(s).

Have you checked the card settings? If ATM withdrawals are enabled then you have to contact :r: via in-app chat or social media (twitter/facebook).
