Revolut can block or reverse your transactions at any time if it suspects fraud, receives a legal order, or if the transaction involves a sanctioned country — and does not need to notify you in advance.
This analysis describes what Revolut's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The clause establishes operational authority for payment blocking based on fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, and sanctions enforcement without requiring prior user consent. This mechanism allows the service provider to implement controls that satisfy legal obligations and limit exposure to unlawful transactions or sanctioned jurisdictions.
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.
