Revolut vs BoursoBank referral 2026: which should you choose?

Head-to-head at a glance

The quick takeaway: compare the offer screens available that day, not historical maximums. In terms of use, the choice remains mainly functional: mobility and currencies with Revolut, everyday banking with BoursoBank.

Revolut: the referrer bonus and mobility

Revolut is a financial app with a European banking licence, designed particularly for payments, travel and currency exchange, with a French IBAN and free or paid plans. As for referrals, the amount, required purchases and deadline are specific to the campaign visible in the referrer's app. The referred friend must follow the personal link, verify their identity, add money, order a physical card and complete the required purchases before the deadline.

The key point to know: the benefit for the referred friend depends on the campaign and is not always a fixed cash bonus in euros. Check the current offer on revolut.com before sharing your link.

BoursoBank: the cash bonus for the referred friend, the benchmark

BoursoBank (formerly Boursorama Banque) is a general-purpose online bank offering current accounts, savings, stock market investing, life insurance and loans. The public offer provides up to €160 for the new customer: up to €40 for the first deposit, €40 for card transactions and €80 with EasyMove. The referrer receives €20, €40 or €60 depending on their assets. The applicable scale is the one shown at the start of the account-opening process.

Its strength here is clarity: a cash bonus in euros for the referred friend, a full and reassuring bank, and an easy recommendation to make. The downside is a modest referrer bonus (€30) compared with Revolut.

Which profile suits each option?

Revolut if you travel, pay in foreign currencies or want a mobile financial app, after checking the campaign shown in the referrer's app.

BoursoBank if your referred friend wants a clear cash bonus in euros and a full main bank account, with clear conditions.

Both if you combine their uses: Revolut for spending abroad and currency exchange, and BoursoBank as your main euro account.
