How to download your Revolut bank statement
Revolut provides statements exclusively through the app:
- Revolut app (PDF) — tap Profile (top left) → Documents → Bank statements → select account (GBP, EUR, etc.) → choose date range → Generate statement → download PDF
- Revolut app (Excel/CSV) — from the same Documents screen, select Excel spreadsheet for a full transaction export in CSV-compatible format
- Custom date ranges — Revolut lets you choose any start and end date, not just calendar months. Useful for tax year exports.
- Per-currency statements — if you hold balances in multiple currencies (GBP, EUR, USD), you generate a separate statement for each currency account.
Revolut's PDF statements are accepted by most UK landlords, mortgage lenders, and visa authorities, though some institutions may query a Revolut statement — in that case, using a more traditional UK bank account statement alongside it is advisable.
What the columns on a Revolut statement mean
Revolut PDF statements include these columns:
- Date — the date and time the transaction was completed
- Description — the merchant name or transfer reference; Revolut uses enriched merchant names where available
- Money out — amounts leaving your account in the statement currency
- Money in — amounts received in the statement currency
- Balance — your running balance in that currency after each transaction
- Exchange rate — shown for foreign currency transactions, indicating the rate applied at the time of the transaction
Revolut transaction types explained
Revolut uses plain-language descriptions rather than cryptic codes, but here are the transaction types you'll encounter:
- Card payment — a payment made using your Revolut Visa or Mastercard debit card, in person or online.
- Transfer — money sent to or received from another account, either within Revolut (Revolut to Revolut is instant and free) or to an external bank account.
- Top-up — money added to your Revolut account from a linked debit or credit card, or from a bank transfer in.
- Exchange — a currency conversion within Revolut (e.g. GBP to EUR). These appear as a debit in one currency account and a credit in another.
- Direct Debit — Revolut supports Direct Debits on GBP accounts with a UK sort code and account number.
- Standing Order — recurring scheduled transfers you've set up within Revolut.
- ATM — a cash withdrawal. Revolut allows fee-free ATM withdrawals up to a monthly limit (depending on your plan); withdrawals above the limit incur a 2% fee.
- Refund — a merchant refund, shown as a positive amount.
- Cashback — cashback earned on purchases (available on paid Revolut plans).
- Subscription — the monthly or annual Revolut plan fee (Standard, Plus, Premium, Metal, Ultra).
- Savings — transfers into or out of your Revolut Savings Vault.
💡 Revolut currency exchanges appear as separate debit and credit transactions on different currency statements. When reviewing spending, check that you're not double-counting money that was simply exchanged between your Revolut currency accounts.
Revolut vs traditional UK bank statements — key differences
Revolut statements differ from Barclays, HSBC, or Lloyds in a few important ways:
- Multiple currency accounts — each currency generates a separate statement; there's no single combined view across all currencies
- IBAN format — Revolut's UK accounts use a sort code and account number for GBP, but international accounts use IBAN format
- Enriched merchant data — Revolut often shows the actual business name and category rather than a payment processor code
- Real-time exchange rates — foreign currency transactions show the rate that was applied, giving a clearer picture of what you actually paid
- No branch network — all statement access and account management is app-only
Analyse your Revolut statement automatically
Revolut's multi-currency statements can be harder to analyse than traditional bank statements — especially if you spend across currencies. MoneySorted reads your Revolut PDF statement and categorises every transaction automatically, giving you a clean spending breakdown in under 60 seconds.
No Revolut login required. Upload the PDF you've already downloaded from the app and export the results to CSV or Excel.
