Irish Pension and Revolut

YSpanopoulos · 2019-07-10 09:58:57

Does anyone know if the Irish Pension Services accept Revolut bank to make payments to? The Welfare.ie info says that they will not make payments to a UK Euro account, however I think that even though Revolut has a UK BIC it is based in Lithuania... Anyone got any experience with getting state welfare payments to a Revolut…

If it has a UK BIC, it's a UK account as far as SEPA goes. And it will also be under UK supervision so I doubt very much it will be accepted as anything but a UK account.

You could open a credit union account and get paid into that and just transfer an amount. Not sure if any CUs offer a debit card yet to take advantage of instant top ups with Revolut.
