## Benefit
Open Revolut with this invite and the referrer earns a flat £50 cash bonus per friend once you finish four qualifying steps inside the current campaign window: identity verification, funding the account, three card purchases of £5+, and ordering plus activating a physical card via contactless. The new customer may also see a welcome offer on the in-app referral screen.

## Eligibility
New Revolut UK customers aged 18+ who pass identity verification, add money to the account, make 3 qualifying card purchases of £5+ each (gambling, gift cards, ATM withdrawals and bank transfers do NOT count), and order plus activate a physical card via contactless. Max 10 paid referrals per campaign period.

## How it works
1. Tap 'Join Revolut now' below — the referral is attached automatically (no code to paste)
2. Sign up in the app and complete identity verification (passport or UK driving licence + selfie)
3. Add money to the account via debit card or bank transfer
4. Make 3 qualifying card purchases of at least £5 each — gambling, gift cards, ATM withdrawals and transfers don't count
5. Order a physical Revolut card, add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay, and use contactless at least once. The referrer bonus is paid a few days after all four steps clear.

## About Revolut

Revolut is one of the UK's largest fintech challengers — Revolut says it now serves **over 75 million customers worldwide**, with **Revolut Bank UK Branch** authorised by the FCA and regulated by the PRA. Beyond the multi-currency card and FX rails that made the brand, the app now offers a UK current account with sort code and account number, savings vaults, stock and crypto trading, eSIM travel data, and Pro plans for sole traders and limited company directors.

## How the £50 referral bonus works

When a friend signs up via this HonestCodes referral link, the referrer earns a **flat £50 cash bonus** for each friend that completes the four qualifying steps. The amount is the same for every qualifying friend — there's no randomisation and no plan dependency.

The four steps the friend must complete:

1. **Sign up and verify identity.** Pass the passport-or-UK-driving-licence + selfie liveness check. Usually 3-10 minutes in the app.
2. **Add money to the account.** Via debit card or bank transfer. Apple Pay and Google Pay top-ups count.
3. **Make 3 card purchases of £5 minimum each.** Real-merchant transactions only. Gambling, gift cards, bank transfers, ATM withdrawals and crypto purchases do NOT count. Apple Pay and Google Pay are fine; so are virtual-card online purchases.
4. **Order a physical Revolut card and use contactless.** £4.99 delivery on Standard accounts; free on Plus, Premium, Metal and Ultra. After delivery, add the card to Apple Pay or Google Pay and tap at least once to satisfy this step.

Steps must be completed inside the **current campaign window** (ending **14 July 2026** for this campaign). Revolut rolls campaigns over every few months — when one closes, a similar one typically takes its place within days.

## Cap: 10 paid referrals per period

Each campaign window has a hard cap of **10 paid referrals** per referrer. After that, additional friends can still join via the link but the referrer doesn't earn anything more for that campaign.

## What new customers get

This £50 campaign is **one-sided** — the cash bonus goes only to the referrer. New customers usually see one of Revolut's standard welcome offers on the post-sign-up referral screen (a free 3-month trial of Plus or Premium, a fee-free first international transfer, or a small sign-up credit). These vary by promo and aren't guaranteed; check the in-app referral page after sign-up.

## Who is Revolut a good fit for?

| You want… | Revolut covers it |
|---|---|
| A second account for foreign currency | Multi-currency wallet, 25+ currencies, interbank FX on weekdays |
| A travel debit card without FX fees | Yes — free on Standard up to £1,000/month, unlimited on higher plans |
| Stocks and crypto in one app | Yes — fractional US/EU shares plus 100+ crypto. Capital at risk; crypto is largely unregulated in the UK and not FSCS-protected (see warning below) |
| A UK current account with FSCS | Revolut Bank UK Branch — yes, up to £85,000 |
| Apple Pay / Google Pay | Yes, supported on every card type |
| A free physical card | £4.99 delivery on Standard; free on Plus (£3.99/mo) and above |
| A business account | Yes — sole trader and limited-company plans (separate referral) |

## Capital at risk — investing and crypto

The £50 referral bonus is for opening a Revolut account and is **not** tied to investing or crypto. If you do invest through the app, the value of investments can fall as well as rise and you may get back **less than you put in**; past performance is not a guide to future returns. **Crypto is largely unregulated in the UK, can be highly volatile, and is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service** — you could lose your entire stake. FCA authorisation and FSCS protection apply to **Revolut Bank UK Branch** (its banking/e-money entity and eligible deposits up to £85,000), **not** to crypto, commodities or FX-margin balances. Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest.

## The Revolut plan ladder

- **Standard** — free. Multi-currency wallet, £200/month free FX, a free virtual card, £200/month free ATM withdrawals.
- **Plus** (£3.99/mo) — adds free physical card, £400 ATM allowance, doubled FX limit, purchase protection.
- **Premium** (£7.99/mo) — adds unlimited FX, airport lounge passes (paid), worldwide travel insurance.
- **Metal** (£14.99/mo) — adds 1% cashback (capped), priority support, metal card.
- **Ultra** (£45/mo) — concierge, premium lounge access, specialist insurance, exclusive partner perks.

All five plans count for the £50 referral bonus — the referrer earns the same regardless of which plan the friend picks.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Revolut pay £50 for referrals in 2026?

Yes — the live UK campaign pays a flat £50 per friend to the referrer once the friend completes four qualifying steps (identity verification, account funding, three £5+ card purchases, and physical-card contactless activation), and it runs until 14 July 2026. Revolut resets the figure each campaign window — earlier 2026 windows paid up to £70 — so always check the in-app referral screen for the live amount before you start.

### How much is the Revolut referral bonus in 2026?

The live UK campaign pays a flat £50 cash bonus per friend who completes all four qualifying steps. The bonus is the same regardless of which Revolut plan the friend signs up to (Standard, Plus, Premium, Metal or Ultra).

### Does the new customer get a bonus too?

The current £50 campaign is one-sided — only the referrer earns the cash bonus. New customers often see a welcome offer (free Plus/Premium trial, fee-free international transfer, or a small sign-up credit) on the in-app referral screen, but that varies by promotion and isn't guaranteed.

### What counts as a qualifying card purchase?

Any contactless or chip-and-PIN purchase of £5 or more at a real merchant, paid with the Revolut card (physical or via Apple Pay / Google Pay). Gambling transactions, gift cards (Amazon, Tesco etc.), bank transfers, ATM withdrawals and crypto purchases do NOT count. A coffee, a Tesco shop, a tube fare and an Uber are all good examples.

### Do I really need to order a physical card?

Yes — the campaign explicitly requires a physical Revolut card to be ordered AND used via contactless. A virtual-card-only account doesn't trigger the bonus. Delivery is £4.99 on Standard accounts and free on Plus, Premium, Metal and Ultra. Once it arrives, add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay and tap at least once to clear the step.

### How long do I have to complete the four steps?

Until the current campaign window closes. The live campaign ends 14 July 2026. Revolut rolls campaigns over every few months with similar mechanics, so a new programme usually takes over within days — but the £50 amount and the four-step structure are specific to the current campaign.

### Is Revolut FSCS-protected in the UK?

Yes for Revolut Bank UK Branch deposits. Revolut Bank UK Branch is authorised by the FCA and regulated by the PRA. Customer cash balances held with Revolut Bank UK are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000 per person. Some product balances (commodities, crypto, FX margin) sit outside FSCS protection — check the in-app product page for each.

### Can I open a Revolut account if I had one in the past?

No — the referral programme only pays out for genuinely new customers. Previously closed or abandoned accounts (even if you only got as far as the verification step) flag your phone number and email as ineligible. Revolut's anti-fraud system detects this even if the email or phone is different.

### Is there a cap on how many friends I can refer?

Yes — 10 paid referrals per campaign period. Friends 11+ can still join via the link, but the referrer doesn't earn for those additional sign-ups within the same campaign.
