Revolut - direct transfer to bank accounts possible?

Hello all, I'm looking to open a revolut account. I know it's a bit different from regular bank accounts so I wanted to confirm if it's possible to pay from a revolut account into another bank account. For example, can I pay my rent directly to my landlord's account?

Yes you can. But unless your rent is to be paid in a currency other than GBP, it would be simpler to transfer directly from your regular bank account.Evolution, not revolution0

Google shows a BBC report on Revolut . Not good reading.0

Ohhh I didn't know that. Wasn't planning on making it my main account but thanks for pointing it out0

I can't pay my landlord with my credit card, he only accepts bank transfers. So my plan is to fund the revolut with my credit card so that I can get some amex points out it, if that makes sense.0

Most likely Amex will consider funding your Revolut account as a cash transaction, if they let you fund it at all. But that aside, there is nothing stopping you using Revolut to transfer to another bank account - it is after all a current account (just without FSCS protections).0

You cannot load Revolut with an Amex card.
You can load Revolut with a Mastercard or Visa. I do it frequently. You can load and spend on the same day to minimise the risk of keeping funds with Revolut.
I suggest keeping transactions small initially. I have read that they do a serious review of your spending and income if you hit £25K in a year.
You can also draw £200 a month in cash.
I believe Tandem do not allow Revolut top ups. And I would avoid Tesco, as they reportedly treat (some or all) Curve transactions as cash.0 -

Revolut are required to keep all client funds in a segregated account so, worst case scenario, the funds are protected.
Assuming they've kept client funds in a segregated accountI consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0
