Upgrade Your Revolut with Curve Pay

Upgrade Your Revolut with Curve Pay

TL;DR

  • Already using Revolut? Great. Curve Pay can make it even better.
  • Add Revolut to your Curve Pay wallet to manage spending, dodge FX fees, and unlock smarter features.
  • Link all your cards, control where your money comes from, and travel with zero weekend FX markups in the EEA.

Why Use Curve Pay with Revolut?

Revolut is a powerful app—but it’s not perfect on its own. Whether you’re using it for travel, budgeting, or daily spend, linking Revolut to Curve Pay gives you extra flexibility, control, and protection.

Here’s what Curve Pay adds to the mix:

  • Smart Rules: Automatically choose when to use your Revolut card vs other cards
  • Go Back in Time®: Move past payments off Revolut and onto another card (or vice versa)
  • Avoid weekend FX fees: Spend via Curve Pay to unlock unlimited fee-free FX in the EEA (terms apply)
  • Track and manage all spend—across all your cards—in one secure wallet

According to this Curve Pay vs Revolut comparison, Curve Pay complements Revolut by offering true fee-free flexibility across all cards, with fewer restrictions on how and when you spend.

Can I Connect Revolut to Curve Pay?

Yes. You can add your Revolut card to Curve Pay just like any other debit or credit card. It works with both physical and virtual Revolut cards (Mastercard or Visa), and once added, you can spend via Curve Pay anywhere contactless is accepted.

To connect:

  1. Open the Curve Pay app
  2. Tap "Add a card" and enter your Revolut card details
  3. Verify the card
  4. Done—now your Revolut account is part of your Curve Pay wallet

You can also use Curve Pay’s Smart Rules to automate how and when Revolut is used—for example, using it for travel spend but defaulting to another card for day-to-day purchases.

Are There Costs to Using Revolut with Curve Pay?

In most cases, no—using Revolut through Curve Pay is fee-free for everyday purchases. You can tap, pay, and track transactions just like any other linked card.

That said, your experience may depend on your Revolut plan. Some free or mid-tier plans still apply FX limits or weekend markups. With Curve Pay, you can bypass those.

As long as you’re using Curve Pay for regular in-store, online, or travel purchases, you can expect the same experience you’d get using Revolut directly—with the added benefit of Curve Pay features like Go Back in Time®, Smart Rules, and multi-card control.

Curve Pay’s Unlimited FX for free: A Smarter Way to Spend Abroad (EEA Only)

If you live in the EEA, you now get something Revolut doesn't offer—unlimited fee-free foreign exchange, including weekends, with no premium plan required.

  • Just tap with Curve Pay as your contactless wallet
  • No weekend surcharges
  • No tier-based limits
  • Always billed in the local currency with fair FX rates
  • €200/month in fee-free ATM withdrawals per calendar month included (terms apply)

Curve Pay’s Unlimited FX applies only when you pay using Curve Pay directly (not via Apple Pay or Google Pay). If you switch back to another wallet, you revert to your plan’s standard FX limits.

This makes Curve Pay the perfect add-on for Revolut free-plan users who want to keep their account—but skip the weekend markups or upgrade costs.
