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 standard 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

In these terms, 'we' and 'us' means Revolut Travel Ltd.

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 Travel Ltd is authorised and regulated by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It is registered on the FCA's Financial Services Register with Firm Reference Number 780586 and has its registered office at 7 Westferry Circus, London E14 4HD, United Kingdom.

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 the 'Insurance Product Information Document' (which sets out details of your insurance product) and other useful information before you buy your insurance product. We will provide this information to you in the app and you are able to download it if you would like to keep a copy for your records;
  • 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;
  • collect the cost of your insurance product from you and in turn pay our insurance partner for your insurance cover; 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. Documentation is not available in the app once the insurance is cancelled and will need to be requested via chat.

We don't offer advice regarding insurance products. We do provide you with information about our insurance products so you can make an informed decision before you buy.

We don't provide our staff with incentives for selling insurance products.

Our insurance partner will be directly responsible to you for:

  • handling any claim you make; and
  • making any payments to you after a successful claim.

4. How we collect your payment

When you pay for an insurance product, we will collect the money from your Revolut account as explained on the app. We hold your payment as agent 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 we actually pay it to you.

When you instruct the payment from your Revolut account, our parent company, Revolut Ltd, makes the payment to us from the e-money in your account in the normal way (as described in your 'Personal terms').

5. Our insurance partners

At present our insurance partners are:

  • White Horse Insurance Ireland dac.
  • simplesurance GmbH (underwritten by Allianz Global Assistance, AWP P&C S.A. - Dutch branch).
  • Pet insurance - ERGO Travel Insurance Services Limited (Underwritten by Great Lakes Insurance SE - UK Branch).

Revolut only offers insurance products which are arranged and provided by the above insurers. We may update this list from time to time.

We act as an intermediary between you and the insurer. When we do this, we are acting on behalf of the insurer (not on behalf of you).

We don't charge you a fee for doing this. However, our insurance partners may pay us a commission in exchange for the services we provide, and we may receive a share of any profit from the policies sold.

We are not owned or controlled by our insurance partners in any way, and we do not own or control them in any way. They are not members of the Revolut corporate group. We simply choose them because they provide insurance products which we think our customers may find useful.
