My Revolut Experience

Signing up (May 2021)

After clicking on the referral link, you need to enter your mobile number.

An SMS will then be sent to your mobile. Click on it to go to the Revolut app download page and proceed to download.

After that, launch the app and choose to register a new account. You need to enter your mobile number again here.

Next, provide your personal particulars to complete the sign up process.

Verification of identity (Know Your Customer (KYC) checks)

When the sign up is completed, you need to verify your identity. I used the “SingPass MyInfo” verification option. You will also need to take a selfie to complete the verification.

Deposit funds into your Revolut account

You first need to deposit funds into your Revolut account.

Under the 'Accounts' tab, choose '+ Add money'.

You can choose to add via:

• Regular bank transfer
• Linked DBS/POSB account (setup and conveniently add funds without leaving the Revolut app)
• Google Pay
• Debit or credit card

Order your physical Revolut card

You can order your physical card under the 'Cards' tab in the app. If you plan to go with the Standard FREE Revolut plan, you are restricted to choosing the first card design (blue-pink). You can opt for standard delivery option which will be free and delivery is estimated to take two weeks.

Requesting a virtual card

Rather than wait two weeks for the virtual card to arrive before making the required three transactions, you can actually make use of virtual cards.

Go to 'Cards' tab, select '+ Add card', and add a 'Virtual debit card'.
