Revolut referral
You get: Varies by country — check the app for the live offer · Referrer gets: Varies by country, plan and current campaign
Revolut runs one of the most visible referral programmes in fintech, and also one of the most variable. The reward depends on three things at once: the country you open the account in, the plan the referrer holds, and the promotional campaign live at that moment. The same link can be worth very different amounts to someone in the United States, Australia or the United Kingdom — which is why figures copied from referral aggregator sites are unreliable, and often describe a campaign that ended months ago. What stays constant is the mechanism. The referee opens a Revolut account through the referral link, completes identity verification, orders a card where the market requires it, and makes a qualifying transaction within the window Revolut sets — typically counted in days, not weeks. Miss that window and the reward is lost for both sides, which is the single most common reason a Revolut referral fails. Check the Rewards or Refer a friend section inside your own Revolut app for the amount and deadline that apply to you: it is the only source that reflects your country and plan. On RefDuo, matching with a referrer is free — Revolut pays the reward, not us.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Revolut referral programme work?
You open an account through a referrer's link, verify your identity, and complete a qualifying transaction within the deadline Revolut sets. Both sides then receive the reward for the campaign running in your country.
Why do Revolut referral amounts differ so much between sites?
Because the reward genuinely differs: by country, by the referrer's plan tier, and by campaign. Aggregator sites publish a figure and rarely update it. Your Revolut app shows what actually applies to your account.
What is the most common reason a Revolut referral fails?
Missing the qualifying window. Revolut requires the first eligible transaction within a limited number of days after the account opens. Diarise the date as soon as you sign up.
Do I need a paid Revolut plan to refer someone?
No, but the plan tier often changes what the referrer earns. Higher tiers have historically earned more per referral in several markets.
Is Revolut referral available in the US and Australia?
Revolut operates in both, and referral campaigns run there — but terms and amounts are set per market and change independently. Confirm in the app before relying on a figure you read elsewhere.
