Revolut — How to Track Your International Transfer
Revolut serves ~45m customers across Europe, UK, US, India, ANZ and APAC. International transfers in EUR/GBP go on local rails (free up to plan limit); transfers in other currencies route via SWIFT and get a UETR. Revolut's in-app tracker says "Pending" until the beneficiary bank confirms — which can take 24-48h. Ohmyfin shows you the live SWIFT chain so you can see the funds are already at the correspondent and just waiting for the final bank to post.

Frequently asked questions
Does Revolut use SWIFT for all international transfers?
No. Revolut routes EUR transfers inside the EEA via SEPA (free, no UETR), GBP transfers inside the UK via Faster Payments (free, no UETR), and Revolut→Revolut transfers via its internal book (free, instant, no UETR). All other international transfers — USD, JPY, AUD, CAD, AED, etc. — go via SWIFT and do get a UETR.
How do I find my Revolut UETR?
Open the Revolut app → Transactions → tap the international transfer → Details → scroll to "SWIFT reference" or "UETR". The 36-character UETR (format 8-4-4-4-12 hex) is your tracking key. Tap and hold to copy.
Can I track my Revolut SWIFT transfer on Ohmyfin?
Yes — paste the UETR from the Revolut app into the Ohmyfin tracker. You'll see the live SWIFT GPI status, which correspondent bank currently holds the funds, and any reason codes if the payment is held up. Free for ordinary users.
Why does Revolut say "Pending" for 2 days?
Revolut's "Pending" status is updated only when the beneficiary bank explicitly confirms receipt — which often happens 24-48 hours after the funds actually arrived. Ohmyfin queries SWIFT GPI directly and shows the real status (ACSP, ACSC, ACCC) much sooner.
Are Revolut SWIFT fees cheaper than a bank?
Usually yes for small-to-medium amounts. Standard plan: £3 per international transfer + 0.5% FX above £1,000/month. Premium / Metal plans: free SWIFT up to a higher allowance. Compare against a high-street bank charging £15-40 + 3-5% FX spread.
Can I recall a Revolut SWIFT transfer?
Yes via in-app support — Revolut will raise a SWIFT recall (MT n92 / camt.056) with the beneficiary bank. Success depends on whether the funds have already been credited. Track the UETR on Ohmyfin first to confirm status before requesting recall.
Why does my Revolut transfer have no UETR?
Because it didn't use SWIFT. SEPA EUR transfers, Faster Payments GBP transfers, and Revolut→Revolut transfers all settle on rails other than SWIFT and have their own reference formats (SEPA E2E reference, FPS reference number). Only SWIFT transfers carry a UETR.
Can I track an incoming Revolut SWIFT transfer?
Yes if you have the UETR from the sender. The UETR travels with the payment from origin to destination, so the sender or any intermediary bank can give it to you. Paste into Ohmyfin to see the live status — even before Revolut posts it to your account.
What is the SWIFT/BIC code for Revolut?
For EUR accounts: REVOLT21 (Revolut Bank UAB, Lithuania). For GBP accounts: REVOGB21 (Revolut Ltd, London). Some country accounts use the local partner bank's BIC — check your account details inside the app.
