revolut launches early salary feature in the uk and web app

Financial technology company Revolut is introducing two new capabilities this week. Firstly, the company is releasing a web application accessible to all users, extending beyond its availability to business account holders. Secondly, within the United Kingdom, Revolut has collaborated with Modulr to enable users to receive their wages one day in advance.
Revolut has traditionally prioritized development for its mobile application. Those with Revolut business accounts are already familiar with the ability to review transaction records and manage their accounts through a standard web browser. However, until now, its 13 million individual customers have been unable to access their accounts via a computer.
All users are now able to visit Revolut’s web app and log in to review their transaction details and manage their cards. Through this platform, users can lock and unlock their debit cards, as well as adjust card settings. The web app also facilitates account funding via bank transfer, card payment, or Apple Pay (when using Safari).
A push notification is automatically sent by Revolut to authorize access through a web browser. Alternatively, if a phone is unavailable, a security code can be delivered via email.
While certain functionalities will continue to require the mobile app, this represents an initial step towards broader accessibility.
For customers based in the U.K., Revolut is strengthening its relationship with Modulr to provide early access to salary payments. Payments processed through the Bacs system will be credited one day sooner than the standard timeframe – a common payment method for U.K. workers. This improvement focuses on streamlining payment processes and could prove especially useful leading up to extended holiday periods.
This development is also expected to positively impact Revolut itself, as many customers currently utilize Revolut alongside a traditional bank account. Introducing features that simplify the process of transitioning away from conventional banking could increase user engagement. This, in turn, could contribute to growth in the company’s revenue streams, including card transaction fees and subscription services.
