Activating Your New Revolut Card
Getting started with your new Revolut card is easy and quick. Follow these simple steps to activate it and enjoy your full banking experience.
Step 1: Open the Revolut App
Begin by launching the Revolut app on your smartphone. If you haven’t logged in yet, do so using your credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to the Card Section
Once you’re logged in, tap the home icon located at the bottom of the screen. Next, locate the card icon in the top right corner to access your card options.
Step 3: Find Your New Card
In the card section, you’ll see a list of your cards. Find the newly received card and tap on it to proceed with the activation.
Step 4: Activate Your Card
Tap on the “Activate” button. You will be prompted to enter the 16-digit card number. Alternatively, you might see an option that says “I have my card”; select this if prompted. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the activation process.
Step 5: Understanding Activation Defaults
To keep your funds secure, Revolut deactivates contactless and online payments by default until you actively activate them. This means you can manage your card features securely.
Step 6: Instant Activation Options
If you prefer not to type in your card details, you can activate your card instantly by making a chip and PIN payment or withdrawing cash from an ATM. Either action will complete the activation process.
Final Touches
And there you have it! Your new Revolut card is now ready to use for online purchases, in-store transactions, or even while traveling abroad.
