Revolut in Canada — What's Actually Available Right Now

⚠️ Straight answer up front: as of this writing, Revolut does not offer personal accounts to Canadian residents. Revolut ran a limited beta in Canada from 2019, never obtained a Canadian banking licence, and exited the market in March 2021. As of mid-2026, no relaunch date has been announced. If you're a Canadian resident hoping to sign up for the first time, you currently can't — this page exists to say that clearly rather than write around it. We'll update this page the moment that changes.

Revolut does support spending in Canadian dollars if you already hold an account opened in a country where Revolut is live (UK, EEA, Australia, US and others) — useful if you're travelling to or living temporarily in Canada. Your existing card converts and spends CAD like any other supported currency; there's no separate "Canadian Revolut" product to sign up for locally.

Gambling regulation in Canada is provincial, not federal — the Criminal Code permits commercial gambling only when conducted and managed by a provincial or territorial government. Ontario has run an open, multi-operator licensed iGaming market since April 2022 (regulated by AGCO/iGO); Alberta became the second province to open one when its market went live on 13 July 2026 (AGLC as regulator, the new Alberta iGaming Corporation running it commercially), with more than 20 operator sites live on day one alongside the province's own PlayAlberta platform. Alberta launched with centralised self-exclusion from day one, and gave operators already serving the province informally until 13 October 2026 to either complete registration or exit — an estimated 70% of Alberta's existing online gambling activity had been happening on unregistered sites before the launch. Most other provinces still run a single government-operated platform instead (e.g. BCLC's PlayNow, Loto-Québec's Espacejeux).

Offshore casinos not licensed by any Canadian province operate in a grey area: there's no federal law criminalising an individual player for using one, but you lose access to provincial dispute-resolution processes, self-exclusion programmes, and fund-segregation rules if something goes wrong with a payout.

Revolut's silence on Canada hasn't been permanent inaction — the company has appointed a new local leader (a former Bank of Canada and Payments Canada executive) to rebuild its Canadian strategy from scratch, rather than repeat the narrow 2019 beta. As of this writing there's still no announced launch date or public evidence of a Canadian banking licence application, so nothing has changed for account access yet, but the renewed leadership hire is a genuine signal of intent worth watching rather than the false-start pattern of previous years.

Support resources vary by province — Ontario residents can reach ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600), and the national Responsible Gambling Council lists province-specific helplines. See our responsible gambling page for more.
