Revolut has also stated that unlike many traditional banks, 100% of customer donations goes to each charity.
Charity donations through banks and payment firms are common but many have a minimum spend. With the Revolut charity donation feature, customers can give as little or as much as they want.
Furthermore, Revolut charges no fees to donate to their preferred charity. Additionally, customers can turn the feature on and off at any time they like.

Founder & CEO of Revolut, Nik Storonsky, said: “Supporting social causes is both important to us as a business, and to many of our customers. Complicated sign up processes and scary commitments can put a lot of people off, so we wanted to build a feature that would enable our customers to support good causes in a seamless and secure way.”
Fundraising Manager, ILGA-Europe, Anna Shepherd, commented: “Across Europe and Central Asia we’re seeing stagnation and rollback on LGBTI equality. Now’s the time to invest in lasting and real change in the lives of LGBTI people. This is why we’re thrilled to partner with Revolut to offer seamless giving solutions, allowing users to be part of the LGBTI movement and this transformative change through their everyday transactions.”
