Bank with peace of mindSecure banking from the second you sign up
Strict identity checks
Powered by sophisticated machine learning, we verify identity quickly and thoroughly to prevent criminals from setting up accounts.
Biometric security
Every mobile device with Revolut on it is attached to your biometrics. So if your phone is stolen, or your account is logged into on a new device, the same checks will apply.
Dedicated control centre
Personalise security settings across more than 10 features — think card controls, location-based triggers, gambling blocks, and more.
Activate cards in-app
Your physical card must be activated in your app. That’s the only place your PIN is available, too.

A-list algorithms that make spending (even) safer
If something looks suspicious, our machine learning models can pick it up. We’ll notify you and take action immediately. If we freeze your card, you can review, and unfreeze if needed.
Join RevolutWe freeze out thieves in seconds
Our in-house AI algorithms can flag high-risk transactions and suspicious spending patterns immediately. We trigger proactive warnings that detect more than 95% of attempted scams. And if an unauthorised transaction gets through, you may be covered by VISA and MasterCard’s liability protection. If you still encounter issues, our award-winning support team are on hand 24/7 to help resolve issues in minutes. Now that's peace of mind.
Superpowers for spending online
Self-destructing virtual cards mean your details are immediately deleted — and then refreshed — after each purchase, so they can’t be reused.
Over 80% of payment fraud starts online
If we notice anything suspicious happening when you’re shopping online, we’ll freeze your card. For even more protection, purchase with a single-use virtual card. The card details refresh after every transaction — adding an extra layer between you and retailers you may not trust completely. Two-factor authentication is required for sensitive transactions, and you can label vendors you use regularly as trusted — so you don’t have to approve payments every time.
Private payments to keep your info under wraps
Decide whether to hide your name or profile picture when you’re sending money to a Revolut account not in your contacts — or choose not to be discoverable at all. All your chats are encrypted, too.
Keep your finances personal

Steps to take
If you have an issue
If you’re concerned your card has been compromised, freeze your card immediately. If you believe your card has been used fraudulently, fill out a chargeback form and we’ll help you resolve the issue.
Report fraudIf you think your account is at risk, immediately end any type of communication with the suspected scammer. Contact Revolut, and any other financial institution involved. Report the incident to the police.
Report a scamDisconnect your account from the previous device. Try to use another device to log in to your account and change your passcode for security. If you're unable to log in using another device, there are a couple of ways to recover your access.
