Revolut has today released an in-app charity donation feature, allowing customers to round up their card payments and donate the difference to three international charities.

The digital-only challenger bank explained that the whole amount goes to each charity, with no fees and no minimum donation amount. The feature can be turned on and off at any time, and customers can also set up a recurring payment or making one-off donations.

ILGA-Europe, Save the Children and the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) have been chosen as the first three charities, due to their appeal to Revolut’s global user base.

Revolut founder and chief executive Nik Storonsky commented: “Complicated sign up processes and scary commitments can put a lot of people off, so we wanted to build a feature that would enable our customers to support good causes in a seamless and secure way.”

Gemma Sherrington, executive director of fundraising and marketing at Save the Children, said: “We are always looking for new and innovative ways to deliver the greatest impact for children who need it most.

“Together with Revolut, we’ll raise awareness and funds for our life-saving work, give children a platform to share their stories and continue doing whatever it takes to build a better future for children everywhere.”

Revolut has also launched a limited edition rainbow card in tandem to its partnership with LGBT charity IGLA-Europe, which will be available throughout Pride month.
