Companies change their terms quietly. We read every version and catch what actually changed. One email a week on the changes that matter and what they mean. No account.
Messages you send through Revolut's in-app chat are encrypted end-to-end, meaning Revolut itself cannot read them — even if you ask Revolut to retrieve them for you or for dispute resolution.

The end-to-end encryption architecture limits Revolut's operational ability to access user communications or provide message-related information to users or third parties, which affects the scope of customer support services available for Messenger-specific inquiries.
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.

"To ensure any communication with your contacts is kept private, Revolut Messenger is protected using end to end encryption. This means that Revolut cannot access messages in your Revolut Messenger in any circumstances. For example, if you contact customer support in relation to something that has occurred on Revolut Messenger, we will not be able to see your thread. It also means we are unable to provide any information about messages in your Revolut Messenger even if you ask us for it.Excerpt from Revolut's Terms of Service (Superseded URL)
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: End-to-end encryption in financial messaging implicates law enforcement access obligations under the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA, 47 U.S.C. §§1001-1010) and potential conflicts with lawful intercept requirements. FinCEN's AML obligations require financial institutions to maintain records sufficient for law enforcement access, and strong encryption that prevents institutional access may create tension with these requirements. ECPA (18 U.S.C. §§2510-2522) governs interception of electronic communications. (2)
