Revolut Card is a Debit Card

  • Debit Card
  • Credit Card
  • Prepaid Card
  • LT88 8888 8888 8888 8888
  • Lithuania flag IBAN Bank Account
  • in your name

With Revolut Card, you'll get a true debit card experience, directly connected to a bank account. You'll receive a Lithuania-based IBAN bank account number issued in your name, and any funds you deposit into your account will become immediately available for spending on your card.

Useful:Some crypto card companies only allow fiat deposits from accounts that are directly in your name. With Revolut, third party senders are able to deposit funds into your bank account, which means you can receive fiat withdrawals from exchanges or receive salary payments.

It Comes in Both Physical and Virtual Forms

You can get Revolut Card in both physical and virtual versions, a feature only available with 40% of crypto cards. They'll mail you the physical card, and you can instantly get the virtual card online after completing KYC Identity Verification.

Wondering about the perks of each card type? Here are some highlights:

You will find the physical Revolut Card useful for in-person purchases, while the virtual card will be perfect for online transactions like subscriptions.

Very Cool:Revolut Card also offers a disposable version of the virtual card, which is a rare feature amongst crypto cards. This is a great way to protect your card details from being stolen and used for fraudulent transactions. If a fraudster gets ahold of your card details after you pay, they can't use it, because disposale cards are single-use.

    If you plan to use your card for daily purchases, then daily spending limit is an important consideration for you. Revolut Card offers an unparalleled Unlimited daily spending limit. You will get lower daily limits with Ledger CL Card and Nexo Card.

    Cashback rewards are a great way to earn back some of the money you spend on your card and is an important consideration as well. Both Ledger CL Card and Nexo Card offer solid cashback rewards of up to 2%. The cashback rewards for Revolut Card are not as high.

    To make a good choice, look through all features, as it is an individual choice. If you will mostly do online transactions with this card, then Apple Pay availability may not be a very important feature for you. If you travel a lot, foreign exchange rate will matter. And so on.
