The rail in numbers

All these values come from the catalogue published on this site, and are republished as soon as our own measurements contradict them.

Technical nature: Instant bank transferSettlement in individual messages: the receiving bank must answer within seconds. That is what makes the rail usable at night and on weekends.
Settlement currency: EUR — EuroIf this is not your account currency, your bank applies its own conversion on arrival. That cost does not go through us and does not appear in our breakdown.
Settlement delay (p50 / p95): 2 min / 20 minThe median describes the common case, the p95 the slow one. We show both: a median alone hides exactly what worries you.
Operating window: Continuous, weekends and holidays includedNo cut-off: orders are processed continuously, nights and holidays included.
Min – max per operation: €20.00 – €100,000Bounds belonging to the rail. An amount above the cap is split into several payouts, which multiplies any fixed fee accordingly.
Rail fee: No rail feeIts own line in the breakdown, next to the network cost and our spread.
Coverage: 10 countriesMulti-country rail: behaviour is identical everywhere, so one corridor page per asset — a per-country variant would say nothing more.

How this rail actually works

Technically it is a SEPA transfer to a Revolut-issued IBAN. The speed comes from the institution accepting instant inbound and crediting the balance with no deferred processing.

Use your account’s personal IBAN, not a vault or shared sub-account IBAN. A transfer to an IBAN that is not in your name is rejected by the beneficiary check.

What makes the delay

This rail processes orders continuously: there is no business day and no cut-off. The gap between the median and the p95 of 20 min comes from the availability of the receiving institution or operator, not from a clearing window.

Details required from the beneficiary

Every field is validated as you type, with the same rule client-side and server-side. That is what prevents most rejected payouts.

Field	Type	Required	Validation rule	Why
Account holder name	Text	Yes	2 to 140 characters · edges trimmed	Must match the name verified on your ID exactly. A mismatch gets the transfer rejected.
IBAN	IBAN	Yes	IBAN format: 2 country letters, 2 check digits, then the national identifier · upper-cased	No spaces. We validate the checksum before confirming your order.

The rules shown are the ones actually enforced: there is no “marketing” version of this table differing from the code.

Frequently asked questions about Revolut

How fast does Revolut credit my account?

under 5 minutes in half the cases, and up to 20 min in the slowest ones. This rail runs continuously, weekends and holidays included. These are market orders of magnitude, not a contractual commitment.

What are the minimum and maximum amounts on Revolut?

Between €20.00 and €100,000 per operation, in Euro. These bounds belong to the rail itself. An amount above the cap is split into several payouts, which multiplies any fixed fee accordingly.

What does a Revolut payout cost?

No rail fee for the rail itself. That amount appears as its own line in the breakdown, next to the network cost taken from your deposit and our spread. The lines sum to exactly the gap between the mid-market value and what you receive.

What do I need to provide to receive on Revolut?

2 fields: Account holder name, IBAN. Every format is validated before the order is accepted, not at send time: a typo is flagged immediately, not three days later as a rejection.

Which assets can I sell to Revolut?

18 assets are offered on this rail. The asset does not change how the rail works: it changes the confirmation time before the payout leaves, and the spread applied depending on whether the asset is stable or volatile.

Any pitfall to know about Revolut?

Use your account’s personal IBAN, not a vault or shared sub-account IBAN. A transfer to an IBAN that is not in your name is rejected by the beneficiary check.
