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.
Revolut can suspend or close your account without advance notice if it believes you have violated the terms, used the account harmfully, or if required by law or fraud prevention purposes.
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
An unexpected account closure or suspension could immediately cut off your access to funds held in the account, which may be significant if Revolut holds a material balance for you.
Interpretive note: The scope of 'reasonably believe' as applied to account closures may vary depending on jurisdiction-specific consumer protection standards and the specific factual circumstances of a given closure.
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.

"We may suspend or close your account at any time without notice if we reasonably believe that: you have seriously or repeatedly broken any part of this agreement; you are using your account in a way that is harmful to us or to others; we are required to do so by law; or we reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent fraud.Excerpt from Revolut's Terms of Service (Superseded URL)
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Account suspension and closure practices in consumer financial services are subject to CFPB oversight under UDAAP standards. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E impose obligations regarding error resolution and fund return timelines that persist even after account closure. State money transmission laws may also impose requirements on how funds are returned to customers upon account closure. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The clause uses a reasonableness standard, which provides some limitation on arbitrary closure, but the absence of a required pre-closure notice period in suspected fraud or legal compliance situations means users may have limited ability to contest a closure before it occurs. The agreement does state that funds held at closure will be available for retrieval, which provides some protection. JURISDICTION FLAGS: State consumer protection laws in New York, California, and other jurisdictions may impose minimum notice requirements before closing a consumer financial account in non-emergency circumstances. The interaction between this clause and applicable state unfair business practice statutes should be evaluated. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The broad discretionary closure right, even if commercially standard, should be flagged in any vendor or partner due diligence review where Revolut account access is integral to a service relationship. The clause's reference to harm to Revolut or others is broad and could encompass regulatory investigations or reputational risk scenarios beyond direct policy violations. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that the fund return process following account closure complies with applicable state unclaimed property laws and Regulation E timelines. The document states funds can be retrieved after closure by contacting support@revolut.com, but teams should confirm the operational SLA for such retrievals and whether it meets regulatory requirements.
