WDYM by source? You just open phone settings, NFC and choose Revolut to be the app to be used with NFC
If you choose to be issued physical card there probably is a way to just copy it physically into NFC but I haven't used that
Revolut is just another bank. It's just a little less behind the times than most
Revolut does not show up as NFC payment app on my phone. My bank's app and Google Pay do.
Yeah, I was wrong
Yeah it's a bank, and most banks do not support NFC payments in their apps, you need Google Pay or Apple Pay. Revolut is not listed in the available payment apps.
The closest thing I've found regarding this is this community request which still hasn't been resolved https://community.revolut.com/t/support-nfc-functionality-directly-in-the-revolut-app-for-android-without-google-pay/191216
Huh? All the other banks I use support it
But you're right regarding Revolut. I just checked and I was wrong, it's not there in the settings. I have no idea how I used it with NFC in the past, then. Most of the time I use BLIK
Interesting, based on similar threads I was under the impression most banks didn't support NFC payments without Google Pay. Sadly no banks here have their own NFC payments. My bank used to have it but then removed it for some reason.
