Revolut card abroad but using on Google pay in Ireland same time?

    My young fella is skiing in Poland and I hid my Revolut card in his case just in case..... He's 18 just didnt get time to order one for him.

    I have it on Google pay on my phone which I'm currently using while he's away.

    His wallet has been pinched with his AIB card in it so I'm glad he can get funds, BUT if he uses my Revolut in Poland and I use it from the phone in Ireland and I likely to get blocked?

    I know its a wierd one and worse case I'll transfer a chunk to it and draw the cash before he uses it.

    Anyone any thoughts?

    turn off the location based security in the app and you should be fine

    If you turn off the location based security in the security options for the card, it might allow to be used in both locations.

    Johnny: Beat me to it.

    My guess would be that you'd get a notification through the app and email before they block the card and you can confirm it's you. But I don't know for sure.

    In Jan, my wife used the physical card in NZ and I used to tap-to-pay on Google pay on my Samsung. Worked with no issues.
