Apple Pay Apple Pay in Germany

[Mr-Fly]

Just had my first payment with Revolut, so it works 🙂
The only thing, I dont trust them at the moment for higher balance because of Brexit.
But great that it works

Does anyone know how to get one of those blank Revolut Visa cards? I remember seeing someone on twitter sending them out, but is there any other possibility?

 

[Mr-Fly]

What do you mean with blank?

 

[kkrdvc]

The ones that come without a name printed on them, and you add them through the option „Already have a card? Link it here!“

 

[Mr-Fly]

Never heard of these.

You can buy them off the shelf at Wilko's in the UK... I think they're £4,99. Probably won't help you that much right now (esp. if you're not in the UK that often).

 

[Mr-Fly]

But ordering the card is free with a friend invite.

Did my first payment with Revolut and Apple Pay today.

Felt alot faster than with boon. Can it be?

 

[kkrdvc]

Yes, but I apparently managed to get a German Mastercard which can’t be added to Apple Pay so yeah

Hm.. I ordered my card in March 2018 in Germany. Today I was able to activate Apple Pay without any issue

Just managed to get a Revolut card in the Wallet.

Changed my address to a UK one, created a new virtual card and added it to Wallet.
My normal card still can’t be added though :/
I got it November 2018, so that’s probably the reason why.

Now all Revolut cards seem to work. 🙂

 

[kkrdvc]

Seems you’re right 🙂

BUT HOW DID YOU GET THE VISA ONE??
I’m tired of all the mastercards in my wallet simply, only got one Visa

I got this as a blanko card. 😉

Any way to get one as well?

I only got this for free for a tip in another forum. So sadly I have no spare ones. :/

 

[KarstenS]

Got this message within the app:

Also got the "Add to wallet" button within the app and sucessfull added my Mastercard with german BIN.

Are there many revolut users here in this thread? How do you guys like it and is it worth trying out? What are the advantages/disadvantages revolut comes with? Can revolut be „trusted“ (brexit, bank license, etc.)

I am always on the lookout for a bank that might replace my bunq account one day. How does revolut compare to bunq?

It is certainly useful but I wouldn’t keep any substantial amount of money in it. Good for spending abroad and easy to keep and exchange multiple currencies and with Apple Pay much safer since you can create a virtual card and use it for Apple Pay without risking your card details being stolen or losing your physical card.

I solely use it for when traveling since you can prebuy a currency when the exchange rate is good (Eg the exchange rate for Croatia is worse in the summer than in winter). And also because you can withdraw up to 200€ for free worldwide.
Other thing they’re better at is the fact that you can top up your account with any debit or credit card and don’t have to wait until the wire transfer has arrived like with N26 for example.

Can you use Amex for top up as well?

Doesn’t seem so :/

Are you serious? Apple Pay uses Tokenization and even never sends your credit card data and even does not save it on the device. You should definitely investigate some time to learn about security with ApplePay.

I mean compared to using a physical card. Learn to read, dude.
