What is Revolut Messenger?
Revolut Messenger is an in-app messaging service that Revolut customers can use to send messages to each other.
You can only send peer-to-peer messages to other Revolut customers where you have each other saved in your respective contacts lists or, alternatively, a payment has been made between you using Revolut. We refer to these individuals as your ‘trusted contacts’.
You can only be added to a group chat if:
- the person who has added you is a trusted contact; or
- you have accepted an invite to join the group by someone who is not a trusted contact.
Can Revolut read your messages?
Revolut will not be able to read your messages but will be able to see information relating to any payments you make or receive through Revolut.
Messages
Your Revolut messages are encrypted end-to-end. This means that Revolut will never be able to access any message that you send through Revolut Messenger.
Other information
While Revolut cannot access your messages, we will have some information about how you use Revolut Messenger, including:
- the time and date you send or receive a message
- the identity of the other Revolut customer(s) you are chatting with
- the time and date that you open, or re-open, an encrypted chat session
Payment information
Revolut can access information if you initiate a payment to, or receive a payment from, other Revolut customers through Revolut Messenger. For example, Revolut will have access to any information that is generated when you:
- request a payment from another Revolut customer through Revolut Messenger
- send a payment to another Revolut customer through Revolut Messenger
- accept, or decline, a payment request from another Revolut customer through Revolut Messenger
How can you change your Revolut Messenger preferences?
Through your in-app Privacy Dashboard, you can turn off:
- peer-to-peer messaging entirely

Through Revolut Messenger, you will also be able to:
- block specific trusted contacts from being able to contact you through Revolut Messenger
- remove other customers from group chats
