Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause operationalizes Revolut's compliance framework by defining the boundaries of authorized service use and establishing grounds for service restrictions or termination. This supports the entity's ability to manage regulatory, fraud, and operational risk.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Mar 23, 2026

The updated Terms of Service no longer document the Move Money Rules feature, which previously allowed users to set up automatic fund transfers across account pockets or currency exchanges based on custom conditions. The removal of this documentation means users cannot point to the terms as a reference for how this feature operates, what limits apply, or what fees may be charged. If the feature remains available in the app, its operational parameters are no longer formally described in the binding terms document.
