Ive tried several banks, and every time my card is declined. Its a Revolut card with enough balance. Is this a known issue in Brazil?

Had the same issue in Salvador. My Revolut kept failing even with full balance and no blocks. I messaged support and they told me it was "local network incompatibility." Switched to my N26 from austria, worked right away.

I used Revolut Mastercard and it worked only at Banco do Brasil ATM in downtown Recife. Bradesco and Itaú both rejected it. Seems random. I recommend carrying a backup card, preferably from a traditional bank.

Same thing happened to me in Rio. Tried my Revolut Visa at Banco24Horas, Bradesco, and Itaú - all declined. Turned out I had to enable magstripe transactions in the app. Did that and it worked at Banco do Brasil.
