Has anyone here used Revolut? How does it compare to privacy.com for EU users?

Can you use the tap to pay on your phone without using Google Wallet?

Yeah it’s a bank, and most banks do not support NFC payments in their apps, you need Google Pay or Apple Pay. Revolut is not listed in the available payment apps.

The closest thing I’ve found regarding this is this community request which still hasn’t been resolved https://community.revolut.com/t/support-nfc-functionality-directly-in-the-revolut-app-for-android-without-google-pay/191216

Huh? All the other banks I use support it

But you’re right regarding Revolut. I just checked and I was wrong, it’s not there in the settings. I have no idea how I used it with NFC in the past, then. Most of the time I use BLIK

Interesting, based on similar threads I was under the impression most banks didn’t support NFC payments without Google Pay. Sadly no banks here have their own NFC payments. My bank used to have it but then removed it for some reason.
