https://blog.revolut.com/introducing-spare-revolut-cards/If you’ve ever lost your bank card, you’ll know how annoying it is to sift through your accounts for online purchases and update your card details.
Now, you can generate an impossible-to-lose Revolut's virtual card and use it for all of your online payments (Uber, Deliveroo etc.). You’ll never have this problem again!
Update to the latest version of our iOS and Android App to use this feature. To order a spare Revolut card, go to the ‘Card’ section of the App and swipe left on your virtual Revolut card.0 -
