First, a quick summary...

If you don't have time to read through the whole guide, here are the key points we cover:

• how to set up your salary with Revolut — it's as simple as retrieving your account details in-app under Details, then sharing those details with your employer.
• the benefits of moving your salary to Revolut — you'll be able to get paid a day earlier, make the most of the in-app budgeting tools, and earn interest on your spare cash with Instant Access Savings.

How to set up your salary in Revolut

The process of getting your salary paid into your Revolut account is straightforward, whether you're a new or existing customer. You simply need to provide your employer with your Revolut account details, including your sort code and account number.

Step 1: find your account details

1. Go to your Revolut app's home screen.
2. Go to Accounts and choose the one you want to receive your salary into
3. Tap Details — here, you'll see your sort code and account number to share with your employer's payroll department

Step 2: share your details with your employer

Once you have your account details, you can pass them on to your employer. Most companies will have a process for updating your bank details, which may involve:

• Logging in to an online payroll portal
• Filling out a form provided by the HR or finance team
• Sending an email with your new details

The benefits of getting your salary paid into Revolut

If you receive your salary into Revolut, you'll be able to make the most of the features designed to give you more control over your money.

Get paid a day early with Early Salary

One of the standout features for UK customers is Early Salary. This feature allows you to receive your salary up to 1 working day earlier than your scheduled payday, at no additional cost. This can be a huge help when managing bills or unexpected expenses.

How does it work? Revolut credits your account as soon as the BACS payment is processed by the sender's bank, rather than waiting for it to officially settle on your payday. All UK-based customers who receive their salary via BACS transfer are automatically enrolled in this feature.

Simplify your finances with budgeting tools

Revolut's main account comes with a suite of built-in tools to help you manage your money. You can:

• set monthly budgets: the app automatically categorises your spending, so you can see exactly where your money is going and set budgets for different categories like groceries, transport, or entertainment.
• track your spending: get real-time notifications for every transaction, allowing you to stay on top of your balance and spot any unusual activity.
• create Pockets: use Pockets — designated sub-accounts — to set money aside for specific expenses, such as bills or subscriptions. You can choose to automatically sort your salary into these Pockets as soon as it arrives, so your money for bills is separated from your spending money.

Start saving with daily interest

Once you receive your salary, don't let your spare cash sit there. Put idle cash into an Instant Access Savings account, and earn up to 3.51%¹ annual interest (variable) with our Standard plan. Interest is paid daily, so you can watch your savings grow day after day.
