REVOLUT on your statement from a traditional bank account can mean several different things. The most common are: a monthly fee for a Revolut Premium or Metal plan, a top-up you sent to your Revolut account from your bank account, or a cashback credit (which is money coming in, not going out).

Revolut offers a free Standard plan with basic features, and paid plans — Plus, Premium, and Metal — with benefits like higher ATM limits, travel insurance, and cashback rewards. The monthly plan fee appears as a REVOLUT charge on your statement.

REVOLUT**CASHBACK is specifically a credit back to your account — a reward for making purchases with your Revolut card. This is money being added, not charged. Similarly, if you send money via Revolut to someone else, it may appear as a REVOLUT debit on your linked bank statement.

Questions about Revolut charges

Is REVOLUT**CASHBACK a charge or a credit?
REVOLUT**CASHBACK is a credit — money being added to your account, not taken from it. Revolut's Premium and Metal plans include cashback rewards on certain purchases. If you see this on your statement as a positive/credit entry, it's a reward payment. If it's appearing as a debit, contact your bank to query it.
Why does a Revolut top-up appear on my bank statement?
When you add money to your Revolut account from a linked bank account or debit card, it appears as a REVOLUT charge on your traditional bank's statement. The money hasn't left your control — it's sitting in your Revolut wallet. You can see it in the Revolut app.
Is Revolut a real bank?
As of 2024, Revolut received a UK banking licence. Previously it operated as an e-money institution. As a licensed bank, deposits up to £85,000 are now protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Revolut is also regulated by the FCA.
