What details do I need for an international bank transfer?

Accepted Answer

The details we ask for depend on the transfer method you choose. We'll usually ask for a combination of the recipient's full name, phone number, bank account number, and their BIC/SWIFT number. We may sometimes ask you for additional details, like the recipient's city.

Question 4

How long does it take to send money online to the UAE?

The delivery time of a transfer depends on which method you use. For example, transfers to other Revolut accounts are usually instant.

Transfers to cards typically take a few minutes, but can take up to 30 minutes.

International bank transfers to the UAE usually arrive within 3 to 5 business days. Transfers to other countries can arrive in as little as minutes, but can take up to 3 to 5 business days, depending on the currency and destination. Learn more.

If you're sending your transfer from a non-Revolut account, the delivery times may differ from ours. All transfers you send with us are subject to review and, on rare occasions, they may take longer than our typical timelines to complete. Learn more about transfer methods.
