Send money to Albania

We use two-factor authentication to make sure you're the only one who can log in to your account, and we'll send you anti-fraud warnings in-app if we suspect that a transfer may be a scam. We also protect your personal data with our full-stack security systems.

Additionally, we use other security methods that vary depending on the Revolut entity you're registered to. Here's how you can learn more.

1. Open the Revolut app.


2. Click on your profile icon on the home screen.


3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and see which Revolut entity shows up.


4. Go to our Help Centre to read more on your Revolut entity and how we keep your money safe.

The details you need when you send money to Albania vary depending on the transfer method you choose.

What details do I need for a bank transfer to Albania?

The bank account details you need when you send money internationally to Albania generally include the recipient's full name, their BIC or SWIFT number, and their IBAN or account number. We may also ask you for other details, such as their city or phone number. The information you need to enter may vary depending on the country you're sending from and the currency.

What details do I need for a card transfer?

All you need to send a card transfer is the recipient's full name and card number.

What details do I need to send money to another Revolut account?

For a Revolut-to-Revolut transfer, you can simply choose someone from your contact list. You can also find someone by entering their phone number, email, or Revtag, or you can scan their QR code.

What details do I need to send money via a payment link?

You don't need any bank details when you transfer money via a payment link, just your recipient's phone number or email. Create the link in-app, choose how you want to pay, and share the link with your recipient. The person you're sending to can then claim that money, even if they're not a Revolut customer.

The time it takes for your money transfer to arrive in Albania depends on factors like the payment method you choose and the currency. You'll be able to see the estimated arrival time in-app before you send and track the status of your transfer. Check out our Help Centre for more on money transfers.

You'll pay a small fee for card and bank transfers, but there are no transfer fees when you send money to other Revolut accounts.

When you send money to Albania from abroad, there are two types of costs you should keep an eye out for: currency exchange and transfer fees. You'll see all costs in-app before you send.

Currency exchange rates and fees

Sending money internationally often involves 2 different currencies: the currency you’re using to pay for the transfer and your recipient's currency. Before you send money to Albania from abroad in a currency that's different from your recipient's, check our exchange rate in-app. This shows you how much the amount you enter in your currency is worth in your recipient's currency.

You may also pay an additional currency exchange fee, depending on your plan, the amount you're sending, and the time of your transfer.

• Depending on your plan, you may pay a fee on any exchanges you make during weekends, between 17:00 Eastern Time (ET) on Fridays and 18:00 ET on Sundays. You'll pay a 1% fee on our Standard plan, but there are no weekend fees on our Premium or Metal plans.


• If you're over your monthly exchange allowance, you'll pay an additional fair usage fee, depending on your plan (1% for the Standard plan and 0.5% for the Premium plan). There are no fair usage fees with our Metal plan.

Transfer fees

Depending on the transfer method you choose, you may also pay a small transfer fee. This is the amount we charge to process your transfer.

• Bank transfers
You may pay a small bank transfer fee when you send money to Albania. You'll get discounts on these fees with our Premium and Metal plans. External banks may charge non-Revolut transfer fees that we can't foresee.

• Card transfers
You'll pay a small card transfer fee when you send money to someone using their card details. The amount will depend on how much money you're transferring and where you're sending from.

• Revolut-to-Revolut transfers
You won't pay any fees when you send money online to other Revolut accounts.
