The Business Terms were updated on 14 August 2024. If you've opened your Business Account on or after 14 August 2024, this version applies to you. If you opened your Business Account before 14 August 2024, these terms (click here) will apply to you until 15 October 2024 except where indicated otherwise.
These terms and conditions
This document sets out the terms and conditions (the “Terms”) for your Revolut Business account (we may call this the “Account” or “Revolut Business Account”). It also sets out other important things that you need to know. These Terms, along with our Fees page and our Payment Processing Services Agreement (if we choose to offer those services to you), form a legal agreement between:
- you, the company or sole trader in whose name we maintain the Revolut Business Account for; and
- us, Revolut Bank UAB.
We call this the “Agreement”.
Some parts of the Terms do not apply to “Large Corporations”. Where this is the case, we clearly state the parts which do not apply. A Large Corporation is any business which either:
- employs ten or more people; or
- whose annual turnover or balance sheet exceeds €2 million (or the equivalent in GBP).
Revolut Bank UAB is a bank incorporated and licensed in the Republic of Lithuania with company number 304580906 and authorisation code LB002119 and whose registered office is at Konstitucijos ave. 21B, 08130 Vilnius, the Republic of Lithuania. We are licensed and regulated by the Bank of Lithuania and the European Central Bank as a credit institution. You can see our licence on the Bank of Lithuania website here and our incorporation and company documents on the Lithuanian Register of Legal Entities website here.
We are also subject to the Law on Banks and Law on Payments of the Republic of Lithuania which regulate our activities and liability, provision of payment services, rights and obligations of our customers and applicable fees.
You can ask for a copy of these Terms or the Fees page that applies to your Account through the Revolut Business mobile app or web app (we refer to these collectively as the “app” in our terms and conditions) at any time.
Opening a Revolut Business Account
1. About your Account
Your Revolut Business Account with us is a payment account and the money in it is held by us as a deposit. This type of account is commonly called a “current account” and it is a type of bank account where you can store and withdraw money, and make payments.
We do not pay interest on the deposits in your current account. You can earn interest by depositing your funds in one of our interest bearing products which we may offer from time to time.
2. Conditions for opening an Account
Business Accounts are for commercial or business purposes only. Business Accounts are not for personal use (such as making or receiving personal payments). If you want to use a Revolut Account for personal purposes, you must apply for a Revolut Personal Account.
We offer two different categories of Business Account, each of which have their own tiers:
Conditions for Revolut Business Accounts:
Business Accounts can only be opened by companies or sole traders that:
- are registered in your local Government Business Registration Service (with a valid registration number); and
- where relevant, are fully incorporated.
You cannot open a Business Account if:
- You're a charity, political organisation, religious organisation;
- You’re a trust, SPV, foundation or non-profit organisations; or
- You carry out a prohibited business activity; or
- You’re being declared insolvent, are being wound up, or a similar event is taking place.
The person who opens your Account agrees that:
- they have full authority to enter into this Agreement and meet the obligations under it; and
- they will provide to us, or someone acting for us, all the information we need during the account opening process.
If the nature of your business, or any information provided during the account opening process, changes, you must notify us immediately. We may also need to ask you for more information after your Account is opened to be able to continue providing services to you.
Each sole trader or company is limited to having one Revolut Business Account. You can't open more than one Revolut Business Account, or open a new Revolut Business Account if we've previously closed one that you held. If you’re a company and we’ve closed your Revolut Business Account but you wish to open a new Revolut Business Account in a different capacity, you may be able to do so, as long as you meet our eligibility criteria.
The following activities are prohibited business activities:
- Dating, escort, pornographic or other adult entertainment.
- Cannabinoids;
- Weapons, arms or military.
- Trading in antiques, precious metals, stones or art.
- An auction house, pawnbroker, or similar.
- Counterfeit consumer products.
- Chemicals and related products.
- Video-game arcades.
- Debt collection.
- Binary options or gambling.
- Certain regulated or non regulated financial services or instruments.
- Consulate, diplomatic or embassy services.
- Holding or managing client funds and pension schemes.
- Crowdfunding platforms;
- Streaming companies; or
- Any other business activity which, in our sole discretion, involves quasi cash transactions or is outside our risk appetite.
Even if we agree to open an Account for you, we may, in our sole discretion, restrict the services available to you if providing those services is outside our risk appetite (for example, cryptocurrency activity posing a risk that is not acceptable to us).
If you meet our eligibility criteria, we may also open a Merchant account on your behalf and grant you access to a limited range of our Merchant Services. Our Merchant services are governed by the Payment Processing Services Agreement. If you want access to all of our Merchant services, you may be required to provide us, or someone acting on our behalf, with additional information.
3. Delegating access to your Account
This Agreement is binding on you, but you can authorise different categories of people to carry out activities on your behalf (“Authorised Persons”). All Authorised Persons must be over 18. The categories of Authorised Persons are:
- Account Owner. This is usually the person who initially enters into this Agreement on behalf of your company. This person has full access to the Account. They can add other users and place limits on the payments and exchanges they can make. This person may also be able to appoint other Account Owners.
- Authorised Users. This is anyone authorised by the Account Owner to make payments on behalf of the business and/or use cards and/or make currency exchanges and/or use the BusinessOpen API. They can appoint new Authorised Users.
- Authorised Cardholder. Anyone who is not an Authorised User or Account Owner who is authorised to use a Revolut card.
We will treat all instructions from Authorised Persons acting within the limits of their authority as if you had given the instructions yourself.
It is the responsibility of the Account Owner to withdraw the authority from, or impose limits on, any Authorised Person (for example, if they are no longer employed by you). If you need to change or remove an Account Owner, you may be able to do so in the app or by contacting Support.
Restrictions on using your Account
Your Account must not be used (directly or indirectly) for the following:
- for illegal purposes (for example, committing fraud);
- for personal use;
- in a way that we reasonably believe might be harmful to us or our software or hardware which may thereby restrict our ability to provide our services;
- to abuse, exploit or get around any usage restrictions set of a third party (for example, using multiple cards to abuse a third party’s free trial period);
- to trade in currencies for speculative purposes (for example, to take advantage of any rise or fall, or discrepancies, in the value of a currency);
- If you’ve been declared bankrupt or insolvent, are being wound up, or a similar event is taking place.
4. Different Revolut Business plans to suit your business needs
If you are new to Revolut Business, we will tell you what pricing plan we can offer to you before you make the decision to onboard with us.
Sometimes, we may need to move you to a different Revolut Business plan after your Account has been opened. This move may result in you being charged a higher subscription fee. This need will be based on the business you conduct and how it requires us to administer your Account. If we need to move you, we will give you 10 business days’ notice of this change (see the “When we can change the Agreement” section of these Terms) and an opportunity to close your Account if you do not accept it (unless you are a Large Corporation, in which case we can make this change without notice).
Please see our Business Fees Pages for more information about the plans.
Using your Business Account
5. Information on payments into and out of your Business Account
You can get information on your transactions through the Revolut Business app. We will not make any changes to your transaction information, and it is available for download from the Revolut Business app at any time while your Account is active. If you close your Business Account, you can request your account statements from our support team through the in-app chat (you can access in-app chat even after your Account has been closed).
6. Communicating with you
We'll usually communicate with you in English through the Revolut Business app. This is how we will provide account information and tell you about any fraud, suspected fraud or about any security threats relating to your Business Account.
To help keep your Account safe, always download the latest software and version of the Revolut Business app.
We may also communicate with you by email. We’ll usually do this if we need to update you about the Business services we provide to you, and to give you notice that we are changing this Agreement. Unless you’ve asked us not to send you marketing materials, we will also send you Business related marketing via email.
Moving money in and out
7. Payment limits
Sometimes we might limit how much you can receive into or pay from your Business Account, or how much you can withdraw or spend using your Revolut Card. We might also limit the value of the currency you can exchange. We might be able to increase the limit if you ask us to. These limits can change from time to time.
8. Making payments
How to make and cancel payments and transfers, and when we’ll treat these to be authorised, is set out below.
Type of Payment | Description | Payment instruction | Currency and timings | Cancellation |
Instant Transfer | This means a transfer to another (retail or business) Revolut customer using the username associated with their account (which we call a “Revtag”). | You can provide your payment instruction at any time and we'll receive it immediately. | If the currency is supported in the Revolut app, it will reach the recipient immediately. | Not available as it is an instant payment. |
Local transfers | Enter the sort account and account number of the person (whether they are a legal or natural person) you want to pay (the “Payee”). | You can provide your payment instruction at any time and we'll receive it immediately. | If the currency is EUR and the payment is made within EU Member States, it will reach the recipient by the end of the following business day after the payment instruction was received. If the currency is the official currency of another EU Member State outside the Euro Area and the payment is made within EU Member States, it may take up to four business days. If the currency is EUR, the payment instruction is provided by 12 PM Lithuanian time and the payment is made within Lithuania, it will reach the recipient by the end of the same business day. If such payment instruction is provided after 12 PM Lithuanian time, the payment will reach the recipient by the end of the following business day. | Not available for SEPA instant transfers. Usually, you cannot cancel payment once it has been received by us, unless otherwise specified in these Terms. If your payment is agreed for a specific day, you may cancel the payment through the Revolut Business app at the latest by the end of the business day preceding the day agreed for debiting the funds. If your payment was initiated by a payment initiation service provider or by or through the payee, you may not cancel such payment after giving your consent to the payment initiation service provider or the payee. |
International transfers | Depending on the country where the payment is made, you may need to enter different account details. For example, in Europe you need to enter the BIC and IBAN. | You can provide your payment instruction at any time and we'll receive it immediately. | If the currency is EUR, it will reach the recipient within one business day If the payment is in another currency, but made to an EEA bank account, it may take up to four business days If the payment is in another currency, but not to an EEA bank account, it will reach the recipient’s account as soon as we can get the payment there. Timing would depend on the location of the recipient’s bank. | You can cancel a future dated international transfer through the Revolut Business app as long as it is before the end of the business day preceding the day agreed for debiting the funds. |
Card transfers | Enter the card number of the person you’d like to pay. | You can provide your payment instruction at any time and we'll receive it immediately. | Card transfers should arrive in 30 minutes. | Not available for card transfers. |
Revolut Card | You can make a payment in person or online, or you can use your Revolut Card for cash withdrawals. | You can provide your payment instruction at any time and we'll receive it immediately. | Not applicable. | Not available. |
Direct Debits | Direct Debits need to be set up directly with the recipient that you'll be making a payment to. For SEPA Direct Debits: Provide your EUR account details to set up a Direct Debit in EUR. | This section applies from 14 August 2024: For SEPA Core Direct Debits: We receive the Direct Debit mandate from the recipient of the payment. For SEPA Direct Debit B2B (if available to you): You will need to upload the Direct Debit mandate in the Revolut app. | As above. | You can cancel a Direct Debit through the Revolut Business app as long as it is before the end of the business day preceding the day agreed for debiting the funds. |
Transfer to an external non-Revolut account at a future date (such as recurring transfers, standing orders) | Provide the account details of the Payee and schedule the transfer. | We receive your instruction immediately and initiate the payment on the day(s) you shared in your original instruction. | As above. | As above. |
Payout Links | If you want to make a payment but don’t have the account details of the Payee you want to pay, you can set up a Payout Link via the Revolut Business app and share it with them. The link will redirect the Payee to a hosted payout page and they can choose their preferred payment method.The recipient name must match the name provided by the Payee. It is your responsibility to share the Payout Link with the right person and the responsibility of the Payee to provide the correct payment details. | You can create a Payout Link at any time. Payout Links are single use and have a time limit. Once expired, you cannot use the same link to make a payment. | Not applicable. | You can cancel a Payout Link before the Payee redeems the funds. |
Payments for services provided by other Revolut group companies
Not all of Revolut Business account services are provided by us. Some are provided by other companies within our group. Where this is the case, you must agree to separate terms and conditions with those companies, which will govern those services. For example:
- If you have a Flexible Cash Funds (also referred to as Flexible Account), it is provided by Revolut Securities Europe UAB, and is governed by the Flexible Cash Funds (also referred to as Flexible Account) Terms and Conditions with which you agreed to. We do not provide this service and you do not have rights against us under those Flexible Cash Funds (also referred to as Flexible Account) Terms and Conditions.
- Any other services provided by another group company.
Although we do not provide these services, normally they will result in a payment needing to be made to or from your Revolut Business account. Where this is the case, we will credit or debit your Business account with us as requested by other Revolut group companies on the basis of your terms and conditions with them.
Sometimes, we may also set up a sub-account in your Business account if needed for these services.
9. Receiving payments
You may receive payments by sharing your Revtag with other Revolut customers. If you’re selling goods and services, you must not use or advertise your Revtag to accept payments from buyers, or else we may remove your ability to accept payments through the Revtag. You can still continue to receive payments from buyers through your Merchant account and through other payment methods available to you as an acquiring customer (like Pay with Revolut, Revolut.me and the Revolut Card Reader).
10. Fees for payments and exchange
You can see what your free allowance is, any fees you’ll pay above your limits and information about the exchange rate we use in our Fees page. Where possible, we will always show you our live exchange rate and the fee (if one applies) in the Revolut Business app before you decide to make the payment or exchange.
Where a fee applies, we’ll deduct it from the amount you’ve asked us to send (when you are making a payment) or exchange, or deduct it from what you’re due to receive (when you are receiving a payment), unless we tell you otherwise. We use the exchange rate that applies at the time we carry out the conversion. Once we've made a payment or currency conversion, you’ll be able to see the exchange rate we used and any fees that applied to the transaction in your transaction history.
We won't be responsible for the following:
- if you lose any money as a result of converting currency; or
- if you're charged any fees or lose any money because you're using your Revolut Card in another country and you ask the retailer (or the retailer's bank) to make the conversion. If other banks are involved, such as the bank of the person you are paying (or banks that help transfer the money between other banks), they may also charge you a fee and deduct it from the payment you're sending or receiving. This could mean that you or the person you are paying receives less than expected.
11. The Business API
The Business API allows you to carry out certain activities like setting up automatic payments out of your Business Account, displaying your Account balance, and issuing virtual Cards and accessing those card details. If you ask us to, and your plan allows it, we will give you an API Key which will allow you to use the Business API.
Click here for more information about our Business API.
12. Open Banking
Allowing other providers to have access to your Revolut Business Account
You can allow other providers to have access to your Revolut Business Account information or make payments from your Revolut Account on your behalf. These providers are often referred to as “Open Banking Providers” or “Third-Party Providers” (“TPPs”).
These providers will need to be authorised by a regulator such as the Bank of Lithuania or by the regulator of any other relevant country to provide these services to you.
When you access your Revolut Business Account via a TPP, these Terms still apply to your use of your Account.
Sometimes we might have to block a TPP's access to your Account (for example, if we're concerned about fraud, if they don't have the authorisation they need or if there are legal or regulatory reasons for doing so). If we do this, we'll try to let you know beforehand or as soon as possible afterwards through the Revolut Business app or by email. We’ll also unblock the TPP as soon as the reasons for denying them access no longer exist.
You also have the right to block a TPP’s access to your Revolut Business Account. Please contact us if you think a TPP is acting without your consent.
How we share your information with a TPP is set out in our Revolut Business Customer Privacy Notice.
Using the Revolut Business app to access accounts with other providers
You can also access your accounts with other providers, and initiate payments from those accounts, through the Revolut Business app. We call these our “Open Banking Services”.
When you use our Open Banking Services to view information about an account you hold with another provider or to initiate a payment from that account, you must authorise us to do so. We won't store sensitive data you provide to give that authorisation.
If you authorise us to view that information, we will access your account information on your behalf (meaning information like your account details, transaction history, and the features of your account) and analyse this information to provide spending insights to you (like suggesting how you might be able to save money).You can revoke your consent at any time via the Revolut Business app. If you revoke your consent, we will de-link all of your linked accounts and delete all of the relevant transaction data.
How we use your information when we provide Open Banking Services is set out in our Revolut Business Customer Privacy Notice.
Keeping your Account and money safe
13. Protecting your security details
You and all Authorised Persons must keep your security details safe at all times. These include usernames, API Keys for the Business API, passwords, PIN numbers and any other information you use to access your Revolut Business app.
If you use our Business API to access virtual Card details and you choose to store those details on your internal company systems or software, you should take precautions to protect that information and use the card level controls and tools that we make available to you.
Sometimes it's easy to forget to take the steps you or your Authorised Persons should take care to keep your money safe. Here are some tips:
- Do not keep security details near your card or near a device you use to access your Account;
- Disguise or protect your security details, do not write them down or otherwise store them, and don’t share them with anyone else
- make sure you close down the Revolut Business app when you're not using it;
- don't give access to your API key to anyone who shouldn't have access to it;
- If you’re generating virtual cards via our Business API, make sure you’re using the card controls available to you (for example by setting a maximum spend limit per card);
- change your passwords andPINs regularly;
- keep your email account and the device you use to access the Revolut Business secure and don't allow others to use them;
- set up approval processes for Authorised Persons.
14. If your Revolut card is lost or stolen, or your security details are at risk
Contact us without delay if your Revolut card or your security details are lost or stolen, or if your Revolut Card or security details could be used without your permission. All Authorised Persons can report security incidents to us.
How to contact us
You can contact us in any of the following ways:
- Write to us: Konstitucijos ave. 21B, 08130 Vilnius, the Republic of Lithuania.
- Freeze your Revolut Card: +370 5 214 3608 (your telecommunication service provider’s standard rates apply). If you later realise there's not a risk to your Revolut card's security, you can unfreeze it. This is an automated phone line, and is unable to connect you to a human agent. It can only be used to block your Revolut card, or to provide general automated responses.
- For anything else: use the in-app Support chat function or access the Support chat via a web browser. You may also find the answers to your questions on our FAQs page.
15. Take care entering the details of the person you want to pay
When you enter the details of the person you want to pay, make sure the details are correct. If they're not, your payment might be delayed or you might lose your money if you enter the wrong details. Make sure you know the person you are making a payment to. If someone approaches you and asks you to make a payment to them, but you are not sure who they are or what the payment is for, you may be a victim of a scam and we may not be able to recover your money for you. If the person you want to pay does not receive the money, we won't be responsible if we processed the payment correctly but you gave us the wrong details. If you ask us to, we'll be happy to try to get your money back, but this might be easier in some countries than others and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to.
16. If you’ve made a payment to the wrong Payee
If you become aware that you’ve made a transfer to the wrong person or you’ve made a transfer to someone thinking they were someone else, please reach out to Customer Support through the Revolut Business app as soon as possible. If you reach out to our Customer Support team we can provide you with information to help you file a claim to recover the money, including the details of the person who did receive the money if we have them.
17. When we might block access to your Account or its features
We might prevent you from making payments from your Business Account if we're reasonably concerned about the security of your money, we’re concerned about potential fraud, or to meet our legal obligations. We may prevent you from making all payments or just some.
If we take this action, we'll tell you through the Revolut Business app before, or as soon as possible after. We'll also let you know why we've done it (unless it would reduce your or our security or it would be unlawful).
Liability and refunds
18. Collecting fees and our right of Set-Off
You cannot borrow money on your account (for example, make payments of more than the value of the money in it), although you may be able to benefit from one of our credit products. If your balance becomes negative (for example, because you do not have enough money to cover fees you owe us), you must within 7 (seven) days upon our request to top up your account with the required amount to correct the negative balance. You won’t pay any fees or interest for the negative balance.
If you owe us money, we can take the amount you owe us from any amount we are due to pay to you. We call this our right of set-off.
If you owe us money and you don't add money to your account or repay us within seven days, we can recover the amount by:
- taking the amount you owe us from your stored card;
- exercising our right of set-off; or
- taking other legal steps to recover the money you owe us, such as instructing lawyers or debt collectors.
If we take any (or all) of these steps, we might charge you our recovery costs. You do not have any right of set-off under this agreement.
Paying fees or other amounts you owe us (other than third-party fees for making or receiving payments)
The fees you may have to pay us are listed in our Fees page. If you owe us fees (other than third-party fees for making or receiving a payment) or any other amount, we'll take the amount you owe us from your account, in the currency of the country you live in (your base currency). If not enough money in your account is held in your base currency, we'll take the equivalent value from money you hold in another currency. If you don't have enough money in your account to pay the fees or other amounts you owe us, we might recover the amount in another way, as explained above.
19. Our right to refuse or delay payments
We must refuse or delay payments coming into or out of your Account if you owe us money or we intend to exercise our Right of Set-Off (as described above). We may also refuse payments for the following reasons:
- if legal or regulatory requirements prevent us from making the payment or mean that we need to carry out further checks;
- if you have broken these terms and conditions in a way that we reasonably believe justifies us refusing or delaying your payment;
- if we believe that processing your instruction would break these terms and conditions or that your instruction doesn't contain all the information we need to make the payment properly;
- if the amount is over, or would take you over, any limit that applies to your account. We've set out the limits in our FAQs;
- if there is not enough money available in your account to make the payment and cover any charge;
- if you've been declared bankrupt or insolvent, are being wound up, or a similar event is taking place;
- if, even after doing everything reasonably possible, we won't be able to make the payment on time;
- if a third party prevents us from making the payment (for example, if Mastercard or Visa do not allow a payment or cash withdrawal using your Revolut Card);
- if you owe us money or we intend to exercise our right of set-off;
- if we have asked you for important information we reasonably need and you have not given us that information; or
- if we have suspended your account.
When we refuse to make a payment, we'll always (unless it would be unlawful or technically impossible for us to do so) try to let you know of that refusal, the reasons for that refusal (if possible), and the procedure for rectifying any factual errors that lead to that refusal. Such notification shall be given to you as soon as practicable following the refusal.
If we can, we'll use the Revolut Business app to tell you that we have refused to make a payment. If you'd like to find out why we refused the payment, and what you can do to solve any problem, please phone us on +370 5 214 3608. We won't be responsible for any losses you suffer as a result of us refusing or delaying a payment.
20. When a payment does not go as planned
We'll always try to process your payments correctly and on time, but sometimes things go wrong and a payment might be delayed or not received by the person you wanted to pay.
Please see below for what action you must take and what action we will take in relation to different payments where something has not gone as planned.
If you are not a Large Corporation:
What’s gone wrong | What you must do | What we will do |
If a payment was sent to the wrong account, not sent at all, or delayed, and the bank account you wanted to make a payment into and the person you wanted to pay is in the EEA/UK. | Let us know as soon as possible through the Revolut Business app and no later than 13 months. | If money is not received into the account you sent it to, we will refund the payment back into your Account. We will also refund any potential charges or interest you had to pay as a result of our mistake. This does not apply to currency exchanges. |
If we received a payment on your behalf but the money was not paid into your Account on time. | You don’t need to do anything. | We will immediately credit your Account with the amount of the payment. |
If someone steals from your Business Account. | Let us know through the Revolut Business app without delay and no later than 13 months from the date the money or device was stolen. | We will pay the money back into your Account if all of the following apply:
We'll also pay back any charges you had to pay as a result of the payment being taken from your Account. We won't refund any money if you've acted fraudulently, or you intentionally or carelessly failed to keep your Revolut Account (suh as your security details or Revolut card) safe (unless you told us about this before the payment was taken from your Account). |
If you are a Large Corporation:
Payment type | What you must do | What we will do |
If a payment was sent to the wrong account, not sent at all, or delayed, and the bank account you wanted to make a payment into and the person you wanted to pay is in the EEA/UK | Let us know without delay through the Revolut Business app within three months. | If money is not received into the account you sent it to, we will refund the payment back into your Account. We will also refund any potential charges or interest you had to pay as a result of our mistake. This does not apply to currency exchanges. |
If we received a payment on your behalf but the money was not paid into your Account on time. | You don’t need to do anything. | We will credit your Account with the amount of the payment within ten business days. |
If someone steals from your Business Account | Let us know through the Revolut Business app within three months of the date the money was stolen. | We may pay the money back and restore your Account to the state it would have been in if the amount had not been stolen. We won't provide a refund if the theft happened because you didn't keep your security details safe or evidence suggests that you acted fraudulently. We'll treat any payment instruction given using the Revolut Card or the Open API as evidence that you authorised the payment or didn't keep your security details safe. |
21. Your refund rights for all other payments
Type of payment | Conditions/what you must do | What we will do |
SEPA Direct Debits | For SEPA Core Direct Debits: Contact us within eight weeks from the date the payment was taken out from your Account. This section applies from 14 August 2024: For SEPA Direct Debit B2B (if available to you): You agree that you do not have a right to a refund for this type of payment | For SEPA Core Direct Debits: You will be entitled to an unconditional refund. This section applies from 14 August 2024: For SEPA Direct Debit B2B: Not applicable. |
If you are a Large Corporation, the below will not apply to you | ||
A Revolut Card payment where you did not authorise the amount | You can ask us to refund an amount taken from your Account if you ask us for the refund within eight weeks of the payment being taken from your Account. | We will refund the amount of the payment if all of the following apply:
|
Reversing refunds
If we give you a refund and then find that you weren't entitled to it, you will have to pay us back. If you do not have enough money in your Account, we will collect our fees by following the process set out in the section “Collecting fees and our right of Set-Off”.
22. Where payments are returned in a different currency
Sometimes, the money you've asked us to transfer to someone is not paid into their account and is returned to us. If we had to carry out a currency exchange when we sent the payment, and can show that we did everything right, when we return the money to you we'll convert it back to the original currency using the rate that applies at the time. This means that the amount you receive back into your Business Account might be less or more than the payment you made. We will not be responsible for any losses you incur as a result.
23. Are we responsible if something goes wrong with your Business Account, your Revolut Card or the Revolut Business app?
Unless you have incurred losses because:
- we failed to meet our obligations to make payments into or out of your Account (except if those events were beyond our control);
- we acted fraudulently or negligently, or deliberately failed to do something;
- we failed to perform our services and your losses are the direct result of our failure
we won't be responsible to you for any of the following, whether direct or indirect, that arises in connection with these Terms:
- loss of income or profit;
- loss of goodwill or damage to your reputation;
- loss of business contracts or opportunities;
- loss of anticipated savings; or
- consequential loss.
Except when the law states otherwise, we also won't be liable for any loss you suffer as a direct or indirect result of the following:
- the actions of any Authorised Person acting in line with these Terms and within any restrictions you have set;
- you giving us incorrect or incomplete information;
- any delays in or disruptions to our services;
- any faults, mistakes or inaccuracies of any kind in our services;
- information or services provided by third parties;
- anything a third party does or fails to do; or
- any fraudulent transactions resulting from any Authorised Person not using our card level controls when generating virtual cards via our Business API.
This section does not apply to our responsibility to refund any amount under the section “Your refund rights for all other payments”.
24. When you might be responsible for our losses
You may be responsible to us for certain losses
If you have broken these Terms, and this has caused us to suffer a loss, the following will apply:
- you will be responsible for any losses we suffer as a result of your action (we will try to keep the losses to a minimum);
- if your actions result in us losing profits, you may also be responsible for those losses. You won't be responsible if this would mean that we are compensated twice for the same loss; and
- you will also be responsible for any reasonable legal costs that arise as a result of our losses.
Our right to suspend or close your Business Account
We can suspend or close your Business Account for various reasons, and the amount of notice we’ll give you depends on the reasons for account closure. Generally, we will give you 60 days notice before we end this Agreement unless you are a Large Corporation in which case, we can end this Agreement by giving you 30 days' notice.
We may also suspend or close your Account immediately in the following “Exceptional Circumstances”:
- you’ve breached any of the “Restrictions on using your Revolut Account” set out above;
- you've broken these Terms in a serious or persistent way (for example, enabling people who are not Authorised Persons to access our services via the Revolut Business app);
- we've asked you to repay money you owe us and you haven't done so within a reasonable time;
- there's been a material change in the beneficial ownership or management of your business;
- we have good reason to believe that you've disposed of significant business assets;
- you are a sole trader and you die or you are a partner in a business and the partnership ends; or
- we have to do so under any law, regulation, court order or instructions of an ombudsman.
If we close your Business Account and so end your Agreement with us, this may also end any other agreements you have with us or through us with third parties. If your Business Account has been temporarily restricted, we may not be able to close your Account until we have completed our enquiries. Please contact us through the in-app chat for more information.
Redeeming your Business Account balance on account closure
Once your Business Account is closed, and if the account closure is not due to Exceptional Circumstances, you can withdraw your money in any currency you hold in your Account at that point by transferring it to an external account. If you need to carry out a currency exchange prior to withdrawing, you will only be able to convert the money into the Base Currency of your Account.
If we close your Account in Exceptional Circumstances, you will only be able to exchange funds into your Base Currency and send money via external bank transfer before the Account is closed. You will not be able to top up the Account, make card payments, withdraw money at an ATM, or send money to other Revolut Accounts. Any inbound payments will also be rejected and returned to the sender.
For six years after your Business Account has closed you'll be able to contact our customer support team services (at [email protected]) and ask them to send you any remaining account balance if you are unable to transfer or withdraw it before your Business Account is closed.

Important terms
26. Our Agreement with you
Only you and we have any rights under this Agreement. You may not transfer or assign any of your rights or obligations under these Terms.
Our right to transfer and assign
You agree and permit us to merge, reorganize, spin-off, transform or execute any other form of reorganization or restructuring of our company or business and/or transfer or assign all of our rights and obligations under these terms and conditions to any third party. We will only transfer any of your and our rights or obligations under the Agreement if we reasonably think that this won't have a significant negative effect on your rights under these terms and conditions or we need to do so to keep to any legal or regulatory requirement, or it is done as a result of implementation of reorganization (or a similar process). You will be able to terminate your account upon notification about the assignment, merger, reorganisation or any other similar notification.
27. When we can change the Agreement
If you are not a Large Corporation, we will only change the Agreement for any or all of the following reasons.
- To simplify it.
- To reflect the way our business is run (including if there is a change in the way a financial system or technology is provided) and how we provide services to you including any changes in the associated costs.
- Due to legal or regulatory requirements.
- We are introducing a new product or service.
If we are introducing a new product or service that will be covered by the Agreement, we will add the new terms without notice but we will let you know this is part of the Agreement before you use the new product or service.
If we are changing the Agreement, and the change relates to payments into and out of your Business Account, we will give you 60 days’ notice before we make any change. For all other changes that do not relate to payments into and out of your Business Account, we will give you 10 business days’ notice. The 10 business days’ notice applies to any changes to Business Account Fees Pages where the change is unrelated to the regulated payment services we provide (for example, a change to the subscription fee, or a change to a fee for a Revolut group product that is unrelated to your Business Account).
During the notice period, you have the right to opt out of the changes applying to you by closing your Business Account but if you choose not to, the changes to the Agreement will take effect.
28. Ending this Agreement
Once this Agreement has started it won't end until you or we end it. You can cancel this Agreement through the Revolut Business app at any time. When you tell us you want to close your Account we will give you the opportunity to withdraw the money we hold for you. If you want us to send you money in a different currency than the currency we're holding for you, we will convert the currency using the exchange rate that applies at the time, and take our usual fee, before sending the money to you. If you ask us to close your Revolut Business Account and you owe us money, you’ll need to pay us the outstanding amount before we close your Account.
