2. Add money from a bank account

1. Open Revolut on your Android or iOS device.
2. Optionally, if you need local and international transfer details, you can go to Account details, under the Profile section of the app.
3. Now select the currency that you want to add to your account.
4. Make sure to select the same currency in Revolut as the currency of your bank account to avoid any exchange rates.
5. Depending on which currency you transfer, you’ll have to use your unique local account details, IBAN details, and SWIFT details. For your funds to go straight to your account, make sure that the reference/description of your transfer is the 8-digit reference number highlighted in pink with no other text.

If you don’t select the correct currency in the app, your transfer might not arrive.

Also, you can receive transfers from family, friends, or even your employer directly into your Revolut account by using the transfer details mentioned in step 2.
