How to leave Revolut Business card acceptance

Revolut Business offers card acceptance bundled with the broader Revolut business banking and FX product. Card processing is no-contract and competitive on rate, but the exit complexity comes from the banking relationship and FX positions if you hold multi-currency balances.

Contract specifics

Notice period
No notice on card processing. Closing the underlying Revolut Business account follows Revolut's standard account closure process.
Exit fees
No exit fee on processing. Closing the Revolut Business account is free; outbound transfers from multi-currency balances may attract Revolut's standard FX or transfer fees.
Terminal return
Revolut Card Reader hardware is bought outright and stays with you. It is ecosystem-locked and cannot be paired with another acquirer.

What typically happens

Stop processing, transfer residual balances to your UK business bank account, then request Revolut Business account closure via the app or web portal. Closure is typically confirmed within 5 to 10 business days. Disputes raised before closure can land after; keep email monitored.

Where merchants typically move

  • Tide Card Reader (similar fintech / banking-bundled model)
  • SumUp Solo or Square Terminal (no-contract)
  • Stripe (if developer / online flows matter)
  • Dojo Go (if volumes have outgrown no-contract economics)

Watch outs

  • Card-reader hardware is Revolut-locked; budget new hardware on the new acquirer.
  • Multi-currency balances should be consolidated to GBP before closure to avoid FX spread on multiple transfers.
  • Closing the Revolut Business account ends the card reader product whether you intended that or not; verify the order.
  • Revolut Pay Direct (alternative payment method) appears on some merchant setups; check it migrates.
  • Bookkeeping integrations (Xero, QuickBooks) need re-linking to the new acquirer / bank.
