Important — three things you must do

1. Choose your payment method and pay via the Revolut checkout below. 2. You must enter your GCI trading account number in the “Notes” field on the Revolut checkout page. 3. Submit our deposit information form with the full transaction details. Payments received without an account number in the Notes field cannot be credited until you contact support.

How it works

Three steps to fund your account

1
Pay via the secure Revolut checkout

Click Pay with your preferred method below. You’ll be taken to a secure hosted checkout where you can choose from Revolut Pay, credit or debit card, Google Pay, or Pay by bank — and complete the payment.

Required: On the Revolut checkout page, enter your GCI trading account number in the “Notes” text field before completing payment. Without this, we cannot automatically match your deposit to your account.

Please also make a note of the Revolut confirmation reference — you’ll need it in step 2.

2
Submit the deposit information form Required

So we can credit the correct trading account, please submit the deposit information form immediately after payment. You’ll need your trading account number, the payment amount, and the Revolut reference from step 1.

Funds credited to your account

Our operations team reconciles the payment against your submitted form and credits your trading account. This typically completes within one hour for debit/credit card deposits.. You’ll receive a confirmation email once funds are available for trading.

Payment methods

What you’ll see at checkout

The Revolut checkout offers four payment methods. Choose whichever suits you best — the Notes field and reconciliation flow are the same for all four.

Revolut Pay

Wallet-to-wallet payment for existing Revolut users. Log in with your Revolut credentials at checkout. Typically the fastest option if you have a Revolut account.

Credit or debit card

Visa or Mastercard, issued in your own name. 3-D Secure authentication protects the transaction. Your card issuer may apply their own fees for cross-border or currency-conversion transactions.

Google Pay

Backed by a card saved to your Google account. Available on supported devices. Same underlying rails as a card payment, with the wallet layer handling authentication.

Pay by bank

Bank-to-bank transfer via open banking. You’ll authenticate with your bank directly. Typically 1–3 business days to settle, often with lower fees than card payments.

About your payment

Who processes your payment

Online payments to GCI are handled by Octalas, GCI’s card-payment partner, through a secure Revolut hosted checkout.

GCI remains responsible for your deposit, your trading account, and any refunds or support queries. If anything about your payment needs attention, contact GCI support.

On your statement, this deposit will appear as Octalas. This is not fraud — it’s the normal descriptor for online deposits to GCI. If you’re unsure, contact GCI support with your Revolut reference and we’ll confirm.

Before you start

A few things to have ready

Your GCI trading account number

Available in your Client Area. Required in the Revolut “Notes” field during payment, and again on the deposit information form.

A payment method in your own name

A Revolut account, Visa/Mastercard, Google Pay wallet, or bank account — whichever you prefer. Must be registered in the same name as your GCI account.

Your phone or authentication device

Each payment method authenticates differently — 3-D Secure for cards, biometric for wallets, bank app approval for Pay by bank. Keep your device handy at checkout.

A verified GCI account

KYC verification must be complete. Deposits from unverified accounts cannot be credited.

Frequently asked

Online deposit questions

The account number in the Notes field is how GCI matches your payment to the correct trading account. Without it, we cannot automatically identify which client sent the funds — and your deposit will sit unreconciled at our payment processor until we can match it manually. This applies to all four payment methods (Revolut Pay, card, Google Pay, Pay by bank). If you forget, contact GCI support with your Revolut reference and your trading account number, and we will match it manually.

The Revolut checkout offers four methods: Revolut Pay (wallet-to-wallet for Revolut users), credit or debit card (Visa or Mastercard), Google Pay (backed by a card in your Google wallet), and Pay by bank (bank-to-bank transfer via open banking). The payment method must be registered in your own name and issued/held in a country where GCI offers services. Corporate cards, prepaid cards, and payment methods issued in restricted countries may be declined by the payment processor.

Online payments are processed by Octalas, GCI’s card-payment partner, via Revolut’s hosted checkout. Octalas handles the transaction on GCI’s behalf and passes the funds to GCI for crediting to your trading account. This applies to all four methods (Revolut Pay, card, Google Pay, Pay by bank). GCI remains responsible for your deposit, your trading account, and any refunds or support queries — please contact GCI support for anything related to your payment or account.

If you complete the Revolut payment but don’t submit the deposit information form, your payment cannot be automatically matched to your trading account and will remain unreconciled at our payment processor. To resolve this, contact support with your Revolut reference and trading account number and we will match the payment manually. To avoid this, please submit the deposit information form immediately after paying.

Typically within one business day after we receive both your payment and the deposit information form. Reconciliation may take longer during weekends, bank holidays, or if additional verification is required.

GCI does not charge a deposit fee on any of the four online payment methods. Your card issuer, bank, or wallet provider may apply their own transaction, currency conversion, or (in some cases) cash advance fees — please check with them before depositing. Currency conversion (if the payment currency differs from your trading account currency) is handled at the payment processor’s prevailing rate. Pay by bank transfers typically have lower fees than card payments.

Payment declines are decided by your card issuer, bank, or wallet provider — not by GCI. Common reasons include: insufficient funds, exceeded daily limit, cross-border transaction blocks, or the provider flagging the merchant category. Please contact your card issuer, bank, or wallet provider first. If the issue persists, contact GCI support and we can suggest an alternative deposit method — you can also try a different payment method at the same Revolut checkout (e.g. Pay by bank if a card is being declined).

For refunds, contact GCI support first — we can usually resolve requests directly. Approved refunds are processed back to the original payment card via Octalas and Revolut. Please do not initiate a chargeback through your bank without contacting us: chargebacks can result in your account being temporarily restricted while the dispute is investigated.
