9. Products and Services

Revolut provides a range of products and services to consumers in Ireland, including:

  • Current accounts
  • Card and payment services
  • Credit products
  • Deposit accounts
  • Foreign exchange
  • Insurance distribution

Revolut Insurance distributes insurance products in two ways: (1) embedded insurance products i.e. insurance cover that is built into our paid plans for Revolut payment accounts and (2) standalone insurance cover which you can purchase as an individual product.

Please see full details of remuneration arrangements for Revolut Insurance in respect of both embedded and standalone insurance products here.

We do not have any holdings, direct or indirect, representing voting rights or any capital in the partners mentioned below for insurance. Our partners and their parent companies do not have any holdings, direct or indirect, representing the voting rights or the capital in us. They are also not members of the Revolut corporate group. Revolut Insurance does not advise you on whether a particular insurance product is appropriate for your needs and circumstances, but we do provide you with information about these insurance products which should help you make this decision. That is why, when you buy insurance through the Revolut app, Revolut Insurance will:

  • introduce you to our insurance partners for the relevant insurance product;
  • provide you with access to the 'Insurance Product Information Document' (prepared by the relevant insurer, which sets out details of your insurance product) and other useful information, including, but not limited, rights and obligations of the parties before you buy your insurance product, rights of the insurer, where you do not follow the terms set out in the insurance policy, information about possible cases of increased insurance risk (if any), information on the law applicable to insurance policy;
  • provide you with or bring your attention to any other documents or information as required under local consumer protection rules;
  • provide the route for you to find the insurance product when you use the Revolut app (subject to availability);
  • issue an individual insurance policy on behalf of the relevant insurer (for Standalone Insurance products) or provide you with terms and conditions applicable to you, as a beneficiary to a group policy; and
  • provide you with ongoing access to the documentation for your insurance product via the Revolut app once you have acquired it and for the duration of your policy.


Embedded Insurance Products

For each embedded insurance product, you are a beneficiary of a group policy held by Revolut Bank (i.e. you are not the direct policyholder yourself). Revolut Bank engages Revolut Insurance to arrange the collective insurance on behalf of Revolut Bank from a third party insurer or insurance intermediary. These arrangements are as follows:

  • We selected AWP P&C S.A. - Dutch Branch (trading as Allianz Assistance) as our insurance partner and the underwriter for travel insurance for your Premium and Metal plan.
  • We arrange the travel insurance for your Ultra plan with Cover Genius Europe B.V. (trading as XCover). The cover is underwritten by Cowen Insurance Company Ltd.
  • We arrange your purchase, refund and ticket cancellation insurance cover through Qover SA/NV. The insurance cover is underwritten on a co-insurance basis by Chubb European Group SA and Wakam.
  • We arrange the trip and event cancellation insurance which is included as part of your Ultra plan through Qover SA/NV. This insurance is provided by Wakam, a French société anonyme (public limited company).


We are under contractual obligation to distribute insurance products as per the above arrangements. Depending on arrangements with insurance partners, we act either on behalf of insurers or Revolut Bank. You can find more information in our Paid Plan terms. We also do not carry out a fair analysis of the market each time a customer chooses to upgrade their plan. We simply provide you with information about the insurance products. We will not provide you with any advice or a recommendation on the suitability of any embedded insurance products. Please make sure that the benefits for these insurance products are suitable for you by reading the insurance product information document (IPID) and other insurance documents provided to you in the Revolut app, paying attention to what is and is not covered.


Standalone Insurance Products

Revolut Insurance has contractual obligation in place to refer all car insurance for customers in Ireland to the following insurance partner on an exclusively underwritten basis:

  • AIG Europe S.A. (Ireland Branch), 30 North Wall Quay, International Financial Services Centre, Dublin 1, Ireland, with Branch registration number 908876. AIG Europe S.A. (company number B218806) of 35D, Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855, Luxembourg ,non-life insurance company authorised by the Luxembourg Ministère des Finances and supervised by the Commissariat aux Assurances (“AIG”).

Whilst Revolut Insurance acts on your behalf during providing you with insurance quotations, it does not carry out any market analysis to compare different car insurance products on the Irish market. We simply provide you with information about the insurance product. Please make sure that the benefits for these insurance products are suitable for you by reading the insurance product information document (IPID) and other insurance documents provided to you in the Revolut app, paying attention to what is and is not covered.

Your policy will also be subject to a 14 days cooling off period which starts when you receive your insurance documents in app. You can also cancel your policy anytime in the app, however premium fees may apply. You might also not be entitled to premium refund if you had made a claim in the current insurance year.

To buy a Standalone Insurance Product through the Revolut app, you must have a payment account with Revolut Bank or its Irish branch office, who will provide you with underlying payment services. We call this your “Revolut account”. When you pay for a Standalone Insurance Product, you agree that Revolut Bank or respectively the Irish branch will debit your account for the amount of your insurance product as per instructions received from Revolut Insurance and make the payment to Revolut Insurance. Revolut Insurance holds your payment as an insurance intermediary of our insurance partner, meaning your insurance is effectively paid for without delay when Revolut Bank collects the money from your account. Similarly, if you are entitled to a refund at any point, this money becomes yours when Revolut Bank or its Irish branch office actually pays it to you. The payment services element provided by Revolut Bank or respectively the Irish branch office is reflected in the Personal terms. As a Revolut user, you have rights and obligations under the Personal terms that apply to your Revolut account in relation to the payment services element provided by Revolut Bank or the Irish branch office.

For car insurance, you will be able to choose between paying your premium either in a single annual payment upfront at the time of purchase or in twelve equal monthly instalments. In both cases by proceeding to purchase your Revolut car insurance policy you are consenting to Revolut Bank collecting your insurance premium from your Revolut account as a one off payment or monthly payments (per your chosen payment type). Please note this will also apply to premiums due as a result of mid term adjustments to your policy. Equally, any premium rebate will be refunded back to your Revolut account.

In the event of a monthly missed payment, you consent to Revolut Insurance to instruct Revolut Bank and Revolut Bank to attempt to collect the outstanding balance on a daily basis until your policy is either cancelled or payment has been received.
