If it’s not PayPal or Wise, it’s gotta be Revolut. It is poised to be the next preferred payment platform for people. Revolut is a global financial technology company and neo-bank, or digital bank that lets you manage your finances within a singular app, and has since been a viable alternative to traditional banking. It was established in 2015 in London, and now serves over 80 million customers around the world.
Recently, it has partnered together with Uber Eats, integrating Revolut Pay within the official Uber app, enabling account-to-account or A2A payments and chances to earn more RevPoints for the over five millions ot their customers in the United Kingdom and all over Europe.
Revolut Pay lets you “skip the card” and “earn rewards.” It says, “Use Revolut Pay to check out securely online and in store with just one tap. And earn extra RevPoints wherever you shop.”
Through this partnership, customers can request a ride, or order through Uber Eats, as well as authorize payments instantly through the Revolut app using biometrics.
Alex Codina, the General Manager of Merchant Acquiring at Revolut, talked about the partnership, saying, “Partnering with Uber represents a massive step forward in redefining how our customers experience travel, delivery and premium convenience. Uber is a titan of modern transport and delivery, and by integrating Revolut Pay into their ecosystem, we are providing our customers with a new frictionless way to pay and track their Revolut transactions on Uber. Whether our shared customers are ordering a meal at home or navigating a new city abroad, we are ensuring they can choose the method of global payment that best matches their needs.”
That means each food ordered, or ride booked, and delivered through Revolut Pay triggers instant transaction alerts, live spend tracking, and localized currency handling.
The deputy of global commerce at Uber, Karl Hebert told RSF, “Our goal is to make every journey as seamless as possible, and that extends directly to how our customers pay. Partnering with Revolut Pay gives our riders and eaters across the UK and Europe more choice, financial transparency, and exclusive rewards. We’re excited to be expanding our partnership with Revolut.”
