Common problemRevolut
Revolut transfer failed
Checks, unverified account or bad recipient details
Revolut says transfers fail because of legal checks, a restricted or unverified account, too little money, or a problem with the recipient. When it fails, the money has not left your account.
Fix it
How to fix it
Finish any verification Revolut asks for and wait for it to complete.
Add money if your balance is too low, especially for standing orders.
Ask the recipient to confirm their account number or IBAN.
Correct the postal code or address if the app says it is not valid.
Check whether the recipient account is closed or not supported.
