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.
ugh yes, revolut gave me drama too. worked fine in europe but in são paulo both santander and safra atms declined it. my wise card worked fine tho. maybe revolut just not reliable here? 😩
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.
