Revolut has partnered with UNICEF to give customers an easy way to support the organisation’s global work for children, enabling one-off or recurring in-app donations that contribute directly to emergency and development programmes in more than 190 countries and territories.
Revolut and UNICEF have partnered to provide Revolut customers with the ability to donate to UNICEF’s global work for children.
In-app donations from Revolut customers support UNICEF’s emergency and development programmes in 190 countries and territories, giving the child rights organisation flexibility to respond where the need is greatest.
The partnership aims to streamline purposeful investments at an individual level by offering simple and flexible donation options, allowing users to make one-off donations or set up recurring monthly contributions. Users can navigate to the Donations section within the Revolut app, where UNICEF’s work for children is featured.
This World Children’s Day, Revolut is providing a fresh outlook to the fundraiser, by spotlighting the impact of UNICEF’s work through the stories of unstoppable children that capture their relentless resilience and optimism, despite adversity.
Speaking to Business and Finance, Victor Semin, Product Owner, Revolut Pay said “We’re incredibly proud to partner with UNICEF to support their vital work for children around the world. Thanks to the generosity of our customers, every contribution helps bring life-changing support to the communities that need it most. Together, we’re proving that small actions can make a big difference.”
Revolut and UNICEF’s partnership is further proof that when given the opportunity, customers are willing to go the extra mile to support worthy causes time and time again.
When digital platforms like Revolut make micro-donations, round-ups, and recurring contributions easy, they help embed philanthropy into everyday transactions. This convenience is reshaping how individuals engage with charitable giving and social impact.
This approach led to the fintech mobilising more than £350,000 in contributions since last summer towards the fundraiser supporting UNICEF teams’ work with communities and local partners to help clear the path for children, strengthen vital systems, and drive lasting change so their childhood never has to stop.
To donate towards UNICEF’s work, customers can navigate the Revolut app to make an instant single contribution. To provide consistent, ongoing support to UNICEF, users can also set up recurring monthly donations or opt to round up their daily transactions to the nearest whole number with 100% of the spare change contributing towards UNICEF’s work.
Why donate now?
Across the world, children are facing a historic rise in the number of crises – from conflict and displacement to infectious disease outbreaks and soaring rates of malnutrition. Meanwhile, climate change is compounding the severity of these crises and unleashing new ones.
This means more children are in need than ever and resources are increasingly stretched, so it is critical that UNICEF and partners have the right support.
UNICEF’s responses for children in Sudan and South Sudan are strong examples of the power of flexible funding sources in the face of an emergency that has received limited media coverage in comparison to the scale of the crisis.
Following the outbreak of conflict in 2023, the Sudan emergency has become the world’s biggest child displacement crisis. In South Sudan, hundreds of thousands of women and children have come into the country, requiring immediate assistance.
Flexible funding reserves allowed UNICEF in South Sudan to quickly scale up its responses across several areas. For example, it enabled the deployment of social workers and helped to quickly set up child-friendly spaces at remote border locations where more than 130,000 women and children fleeing the conflict in Sudan had arrived by early August.
