Garmin Pay - Revolut

It now says that Revolut MasterCard is accepted on Garmin Pay in the UK. I have just opened an account and tried to add it but the connect app says the bank is not participating!

Which is it Garmin??

The issue with Revolut is that the support via chat is useless. I get different answers every time. One said it should work fine - I said 'are you sure it's not in beta?' - he said 'yes it is in beta and…

I can confirm it's working in Hungary. Yesterday I've opened a Revolut account and made a virtual Mastercard. After that I've added the card in Garmin Pay, then I've revieced a verification code in SMS and now the card is working on the watch.ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1463113.jpg

I am UK and have a Revolut MasterCard. I'm pretty sure Revolut only do MasterCard in the UK now and not VISA. However it still is not working.

Can you guys help me with this question:
There are certain countries where when you pay with a contactless card and the payment is above a certain limit the terminal asks for the card's PIN.

If I register a real Revolut credit card with Garmin Pay, do I have to enter this real card's PIN code in this case? Will it work? (Note: I'm not talking about the pin you enter on the watch when you want to start the payment process)

What if I register a virtual card with Garmin Pay, which has no PIN? How would that work when paying?

Thanks!

As you've highlighted seems Revolut have switched to MasterCard for UK at some point since I was issued VISA ones. Probably worth a query to Revolut to find out what is and isn't supported, particularly with all their variations of virtual and physical cards combined with different price plans.

I'm currently using Curve more than Revolut and would be nice to see them added, but given how dynamic these FinTech companies are, it's hard to keep track of who's offering what services.

I got issued a Revolut Visa a few months after they started, but you can go to your card settings and add a virtual mastercard whenever you want, for free.

I tried this 2 days ago and Garmin pay accepted the details but it didn't save correctly.

Tried again last night and now it says it's not participating.

It looks like it's still in beta version. I've contacted Revolut support and they said that they are willing to release full version soon. That's maybe the reason why some of us can't activate Revolut cards..

Works great created a virtual card and entered it and it works really well so far.

Hi all,

I am trying to add Revolut virtual card in Germany but after entering all data, on the Validating screen, it stays for a few minutes and finally error is shown - There was an error loading your card. Please try again. Device Vivoactive 3.
Any advice? TY

Why is Garmin so rubbish? It states UK participating banks including Revolut. It doesn't work. I have tried my Revolut MasterCard twice, i've even tried the virtual card and that too does not work. Why does everything with Garmin just seem so underwhelming? This is why people buy Apple watches instead. Device Fenix 5 Plus
