Mobile payments and digital wallets, curated for travelers visiting Ireland.
Ireland pairs near-universal contactless acceptance with the deepest Revolut adoption in the world: well over three million Irish adults use it and 'Revolut me' is the standard way to split any bill, so having the app makes travelling with locals dramatically easier. Physical cards tap up to 50 euros, phone wallets have no cap. Cash lingers in some rural pubs and taxis. Irish banks launched rival Zippay in 2026, but it lives inside local bank apps only.
Ireland is Revolut's most saturated market, with roughly four in five adults on it. Locals settle rounds, taxis and rent with a quick 'Revolut me', and those instant transfers need you on the app too.
A cheaper way to hold and spend euros in Ireland if you skip Revolut, with mid-market conversion and a card accepted at practically every Irish contactless terminal.
