We do this for a number of reasons, including to meet our legal and regulatory requirements. Make sure you have provided us with all the information we have requested from you.

6. How to make a deposit into Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account
Add money at any time
Deposits to the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account can be made by transferring funds from your Revolut personal account, or by a Revolut Kids & Teens User transferring funds from the Revolut Kids & Teens account held with us, to the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account.
These deposits can be made at any time. The total amount of money that can be added to the Revolut Kids & Teens Savings Accounts is limited to 4,200 EUR. The frequency of your additions is not limited. Funds that are deposited into the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings will also count towards the general Revolut Kids & Teens account limits.
How soon will money be credited?
The deposit will be credited to Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account immediately after the transfer of these funds from your Revolut personal account or Revolut Kids & Teens account to Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account.
7. Will you be paid any interest on the Deposit held in Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account?
Interest will be calculated at a yearly rate indicated in the Information Sheet document available on the Revolut app. Your yearly rate may differ depending on the membership you have with us. The interest will be calculated based on the number of actual days in a year, and the number of actual days in a month. The interest accrued will be subject to local taxation. For more information, please refer to Section 21 of these Instant Access Savings Terms. The interest will begin accruing immediately after you deposit funds from your personal account to your Instant Access Savings, and the first interest payment will be done on the next calendar day after you deposit funds from your personal account to your Instant Access Savings.
The interest will be calculated using the following formula:
Gross Interest = Closing balance in your Instant Access Savings * Gross Interest Rate / Number of days in a year.
However, Revolut will withhold taxes, in line with Belgian tax regulations on the interest accrued and the daily interest payment that will happen in your Instant Access Savings will be net of tax withheld at source.
While interest accrues daily, the minimum threshold for interest to be paid to your Instant Access Savings is €0.01; this means that interest may not be paid to your Instant Access Savings every day. The accrued interest will be paid to your Instant Access Savings at the point that it reaches a minimum of €0.01.
You’ll earn interest on your balance in the Instant Access Savings until the calendar day prior to you withdrawing the funds from the Instant Access Savings.
8. How to make a withdrawal from the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account?
We will return money to the Lead Parent from the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account at the Lead Parent’s request.
Withdrawal requests can be made by you or Revolut Kids & Teens User (if not disabled by the Lead Parent). Withdrawal requests can be made at any time and in any amount not exceeding the available balance. When you or a Revolut Kids & Teens User withdraws the money from the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account, we will transfer the funds to the Revolut Kids & Teens account or your Revolut personal account depending on who made a withdrawal.
9. How is my money protected?
The money is protected once it reaches the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account which happens immediately after you or a Revolut Kids & Teens User transfers these funds from the Revolut Kids & Teens account or your Revolut retail account to the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account. The funds in the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account are protected in the same way as the funds in the Revolut current account, as described in our Personal Terms applicable to you.
The money in the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account is protected by Lithuanian deposit insurance administered by the State Company Deposit and Investment Insurance (VĮ "Indėlių ir investicijų draudimas") in accordance with the conditions established by the Law on Insurance of Deposits and Liabilities to Investors of the Republic of Lithuania which are available here.
10. Keeping your security details safe
We do everything we can to keep your money safe. We ask you to do the same by keeping your security details safe. This means you should make sure they are kept secure, not accessible to other people, and not shared with anyone else.
Sometimes it's easy to forget to take the steps you should take to keep your money safe. Here are a couple of tips:
- make sure you don’t leave the Revolut app open on an unlocked device; and
- keep your mobile device and your email account secure and don't let other people use them.

You can contact us in the following ways
Tell us about lost or stolen or security details:
- Send us a message through chat on the Revolut app.

Please also act in a respectful way towards us and our support staff – we're here to help you.
12. When we might prevent you from using your Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account
The safety of your money is important to us, therefore we can prevent you from using the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account. For example, we will deny the repayment of any deposit and will not credit any additional deposit if we're reasonably concerned about its security or that it might be used fraudulently or without your permission.
We might also have to prevent you from using your Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account to meet our legal obligations arising from the laws of the Kingdom of Belgium or other legislation applicable to you.
We'll tell you through the Revolut app before, or as soon as possible after, we have limited the use of the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account. We'll also let you know why we've done it (unless it would reduce your or our security or it would be unlawful). We will let you use the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account normally as soon as the reasons for the limit no longer exist.
13. How can I close Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account?
Only the Lead Parent can stop the use of a Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account at any time by closing it. Upon closure, any remaining money in the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account will be returned to Lead Parent’s personal account.
What happens when a Revolut Kids & Teens User turns 18?
When a Revolut Kids & Teens User turns 18, they can continue to use the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account together with their Revolut Kids & Teens account as per Revolut Kids & Teens Terms.
Once a Revolut Kids & Teens User is eligible for a retail account as per Revolut Kids & Teens Terms, and if Revolut Kids & Teens User chooses to migrate their Revolut Kids & Teens account the funds deposited in the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account will be migrated to their new Revolut retail account together with the rest of the funds from the Revolut Kids & Teens account. Funds from the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account will be sent to the main balance on the new retail account.
If a Revolut Kids & Teens User chooses not to migrate their account as per Revolut Kids & Teens Terms, the money will sit in their savings balance as long as their Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account is active. When users reach the maximum age limit (19 years old), the Revolut Kids & Teens account will be terminated and any remaining balance, including the funds deposited in the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account, will be deposited back to the Lead Parent's retail account.
If, for some reason you would prefer for a Revolut Kids & Teens User not to migrate from the Revolut Kids & Teens account to a Revolut account and the Lead Parent closes the Revolut Kids & Teens as per Revolut Kids & Teens Terms, upon closure, balance in Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account will be returned to Lead Parent’s personal account.
If, as Lead Parent, you do not close the Revolut Kids & Teens account or withdraw the remaining funds from the Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account by the time a Revolut Kids & Teens User initiates the migration, you will be deemed to have authorised the transfer of funds from Revolut Kids & Teens Instant Access Savings Account.

In the event of an unfavourable modification of interest, fees, costs and other agreement conditions you are entitled to close your account, and so terminate your agreement immediately without payment of any fees, upon the day before the amendment takes effect.

We may occasionally change these Terms. If we do so, we will give you at least 1 (one) month written notice before the change is effective.

If we add a new product or service that doesn't change the agreement we may add the product or service immediately and let you know before you use it.
24. Changing the interest rate
We may change the annual interest rate applicable to your Instant Access Savings. We can make this change immediately, and will let you know as soon as possible, prior or after the change. You will still have the option to close your Instant Access Savings immediately.
Remember, the interest rate may differ depending on the paid membership you have with us. If you change (upgrade or downgrade) your membership, your interest rate will either increase or decrease. We will try to give you notice about the change before you change your membership but we will not be responsible for any losses you incur if we don’t.
25. Fees and Taxes
We do not charge any fees that apply to you for and in relation to this agreement. This also means that you will not pay any fees to us in relation to using the Revolut app or any other means of distance communication for your Instant Access Savings.
You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for complying with all applicable legal and tax obligations, including the filing of any applicable filings and tax payment, and for complying with any applicable laws and regulations, which may change from time to time.
Note that the withholding tax may differ from the final taxation applicable, that shall be determined by you according to the applicable regulations. You should seek independent advice from a professionally qualified tax adviser if you have any questions in this regard.
Belgian Withholding Tax
In line with applicable Belgian tax law, we will deduct and pay to the tax authorities the withholding tax due from any interest credited to your Instant Access Savings. Thus, the amounts received in your Instant Access Savings will be net from withholding tax. Note that the tax withholding rate will be applicable according to the regulations in place on the date of payment, so it may change at any time.
We will deduct the relevant withholding tax from your interest before the interest is paid out into your Instant Access Savings. We withhold tax from your interest payments only when the withholding tax applicable is €0.01 or greater. In cases where the tax liability is less than €0.01, we continue to accrue it until it reaches €0.01, at which point it is deducted from your next interest payment. To see the tax withheld on your aggregate interest payments, you can refer to your aggregate savings statements.
In cases where Revolut paid members an interest and tax was not withheld owing to rounding rules (only) or it not being min €0.01, Revolut will take up the cost and make the differential treatment to the Belgian tax authority, such that the withholding tax paid to the Belgian tax authority is in line with the percentage set by Belgian law.
Under the Belgian tax legislation, the information related to the interests paid to your account can be requested by the Belgian tax authorities.
