Yes, that is exactly how it works. You load your local currency (such as AUD) into your Revolut account, and you can then exchange it inside the app for Turkish Lira (TRY) or simply let the card auto-convert the funds when you pay. Yes, it functions fully as a prepaid debit card (either physical or virtual via Apple Pay or Google Pay) wherever Visa or Mastercard are accepted.

Hi Ness, Revolut Australia doesn’t currently support transfers to PayPal from personal accounts. You can use a Revolut card in the USA at most businesses that accept card payments (exact policies can vary between retailers).

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your question!
Yes, the Euro is supported, along with more than 30 other currencies. According to Revolut’s website, there should be no limit on the amount you can spend or transfer using your Revolut travel card.
Thanks,

I have just joined Revolut for our holiday to Istanbul in September 2026. I loan some money on to my Revolut account and then with some lire for spending. Is that how it works. Is it possible to use it as a debit card. Regards Paul
