Revolut expands payments partnership with Uber

Revolut expands payments partnership with Uber

Revolut has integrated account payments into Uber’s European customer experience. The partnership introduces Revolut Pay for eligible rides and deliveries, connecting checkout with loyalty rewards across the UK and participating European markets.


Revolut has expanded its partnership with Uber, integrating account-to-account payments into the ride-hailing and delivery platform across the UK and participating European markets.

The arrangement allows customers to use Revolut Pay when booking journeys or placing Uber Eats orders, providing an alternative to conventional card payments through the Uber application.

Revolut estimates that more than five million people across Britain and Europe use both services, creating an established customer base for the expanded payment offering.

The integration also connects Revolut’s RevPoints loyalty programme to eligible Uber transactions, allowing customers to earn rewards and redeem accumulated points as discounts against rides and deliveries.

Payments can be authorised through the Revolut application, including biometric authentication where required. Customers can also receive transaction notifications and monitor spending through their Revolut accounts.

The companies have introduced a promotional rewards arrangement running from 11 November 2026 to 6 January 2027.

Eligible Uber and Uber Eats transactions made using Revolut Pay receive an additional five-times RevPoints boost. In markets where an existing ten-times promotion applies, the combined multiplier can reach 15 times the standard earning rate.

The maximum benefit is therefore conditional on customers’ eligibility and the promotional arrangements available in their market.

Revolut customers with qualifying Premium subscriptions can also use Revolut Pay as an eligible payment method for Uber One benefits in selected countries.

Payment services become part of customer loyalty —

The expansion brings together two commercial activities that have traditionally been managed separately: processing individual purchases and encouraging customers to return through loyalty benefits.

For Uber, the additional payment method gives customers another way to complete transactions while connecting its services to Revolut’s existing rewards programme.

For Revolut, integration into a frequently used consumer platform creates opportunities to expand payments activity beyond its core banking application.

Account-to-account payment services allow customers to authorise transactions directly through banking infrastructure rather than relying exclusively on conventional card checkout.

For merchants, their potential commercial benefits can include different transaction-processing arrangements and closer integration with payment and loyalty information.

However, the financial advantage depends on the commercial terms agreed with payment providers, settlement arrangements, customer adoption, and the handling of fraud and disputed transactions.

Revolut reports that its payment infrastructure supports more than 33 currencies and achieves an average authorisation rate of 98.5% across the network.

These figures describe Revolut Pay’s wider reported performance rather than verified transaction results from the Uber integration.

Alex Codina, general manager of merchant acquiring at Revolut, said the partnership was intended to provide customers with a more integrated way to pay for travel and deliveries while monitoring transactions.

Karl Hebert, vice-president of global commerce at Uber, said: “At Uber, our goal is to make every journey as seamless as possible, and that extends directly to how our customers pay.”

The integration is being introduced across the UK and participating European territories, although availability and promotional benefits vary according to customers’ locations and account eligibility.

The companies have not disclosed the transaction-processing fees, revenue-sharing arrangements, or expected payment volumes associated with the partnership.

The expansion nevertheless gives Revolut Pay access to an established consumer platform while allowing Uber to offer additional checkout and rewards options to qualifying customers.
