My insurance purchase with Revolut
1. Why these terms are important
These terms set out Revolut's role and responsibilities when you buy insurance through the Revolut app as a Revolut user.
They are your legal agreement with us for this service. They tell you:
- how Revolut is responsible for enabling you to buy insurance products through the Revolut app; and
- how Revolut's chosen insurance partners are responsible for the actual insurance which you choose, and for helping you with any claim you make.
2. About us

When you buy insurance through the Revolut app, we are responsible for introducing you to our insurance partner and for collecting the amount you pay for your insurance, as described in these terms.
Revolut Insurance Europe UAB is enrolled by the Bank of Lithuania on the list of insurance brokerage undertakings, i.e. we are authorised to distribute insurance products. This list can be found on the website of the Bank of Lithuania.
Revolut Insurance Europe UAB is registered with company number 305910164 and has its registered office and head office at Konstitucijos ave. 21B, 08130 Vilnius, the Republic of Lithuania.
3. Buying insurance through the Revolut app
When you buy insurance through the Revolut app, we will:
- introduce you to our insurance partner 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 the route for you to find the insurance product when you use the Revolut app (subject to availability) so that you can agree to buy it;
- provide the information about cost of insurance provided by our insurance partners;
- collect the cost of your insurance product from you and in turn pay our insurance partner for your insurance cover as described further in these terms;
- issue an individual insurance policy on behalf of the relevant insurer; and
- provide you with ongoing access to the documentation for your insurance product (including the insurance policy between you and our insurance partner) via the Revolut app once you have bought it.
By submitting the information required for the purposes of insurance contract through Revolut App you confirm the intention to enter into such insurance contract through Revolut Insurance Europe UAB.
Once insurance is bought by you, your insurer will be directly responsible to you for:
- handling any claim you make; and
- making any payments to you after a successful claim.
We shall not be liable for the performance of any insurance entered through us and we shall not be liable if our insurance partner fails or defaults on its obligations under any insurance contract entered with you, including if the insurer is unable to meet its obligations under any such insurance contract.
4. How we collect your payment
To buy insurance through the Revolut app, you must have a payment account with Revolut Bank UAB, a Revolut group entity who will provide you with underlying payment services. We call this your “Revolut account”. When you pay for an insurance product, Revolut Bank UAB will debit your account for the amount of your insurance product and make the payment to Revolut Insurance Europe UAB. Revolut Insurance Europe UAB holds your payment as an insurance broker of our insurance partner, meaning your insurance is effectively paid for without delay when we collect the money from your account. Similarly, if you are entitled to a refund at any point, this money becomes yours when Revolut Bank UAB actually pays it to you. The payment services element provided by Revolut Bank UAB is reflected in the Revolut Bank UAB 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 UAB.
We agree with our insurance partners that they pay us as commission for our services bringing them together with interested customers. If the type of policy we sell reaches specific profit targets, the insurer may also pay us part of that profit. This means that we act on a basis of the mandate from our insurance partners and not you, however we always take into account your interests. You do not pay us a fee for doing this.
5. Our insurance partners
We collaborate with reputable insurance partners to provide you with insurance products through the Revolut app. At present we are not engaged with any insurance partners, but if we do in the future, we will list them in these terms. We may update the list of our insurance partners from time to time.
We do not have any holdings, direct or indirect, representing voting rights or any capital in our insurance partners. Our insurance partners and their parent companies do not have any holdings, direct or indirect, representing the voting rights or the capital in us. Our insurance partners are not members of the Revolut corporate group. In addition, we are not under a contractual obligation to conduct insurance distribution business exclusively with any particular insurance partners. We simply choose them because they provide insurance products which we think our customers may find useful. We don't 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. We also don't provide our staff with incentives for selling insurance products.
