I'm not sure what "tap to pay" is and I haven't used privacy.com. But you can attach your Revolut card to NFC in phone. Without going through Google Wallet
It also issues one-time cards that get destroyed after one use
In general it's pretty handy, even if as pre-paid account
But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer
Do you have any sources for attaching a revolut card to the phone's NFC? Is that a service they provide in their app or do you mean copying the card chip manually?
WDYM by source? You just open phone settings, NFC and choose Revolut to be the app to be used with NFC
If you choose to be issued physical card there probably is a way to just copy it physically into NFC but I haven't used that
Revolut is just another bank. It's just a little less behind the times than most
Yeah it's a bank, and most banks do not support NFC payments in their apps, you need Google Pay or Apple Pay. Revolut is not listed in the available payment apps.
The closest thing I've found regarding this is this community request which still hasn't been resolved https://community.revolut.com/t/support-nfc-functionality-directly-in-the-revolut-app-for-android-without-google-pay/191216
Huh? All the other banks I use support it
But you're right regarding Revolut. I just checked and I was wrong, it's not there in the settings. I have no idea how I used it with NFC in the past, then. Most of the time I use BLIK
Interesting, based on similar threads I was under the impression most banks didn't support NFC payments without Google Pay. Sadly no banks here have their own NFC payments. My bank used to have it but then removed it for some reason.
Revolut does not show up as NFC payment app on my phone. My bank's app and Google Pay do.
Yeah, I was wrong
