Revolut recently banned using GrapheneOS without any justification. They're falsely claiming to do be doing it for security reasons. In reality, they're enforcing licensing Google Play. Revolut doesn't enforce security standards. It runs on Android 9 with no patches since 2018.

Revolut is incredibly negligent when it comes to security. It includes a bunch of closed source third party libraries with privacy, security and compatibility issues. Several of these libraries supposedly exist to protect security but in fact create serious security weaknesses.

GrapheneOS doesn't fail to meet any security standard they defined. It greatly exceeds the privacy and security of anything they allow. Revolut has instructed their customer support to make inaccurate claims about the security and compatibility of GrapheneOS to excuse banning it.

GrapheneOS is far more secure than the most secure Android devices they permit. The security standards Revolut claims to be upholding are non-existent. The least secure devices they allow are outrageously bad. They go out of the way to support devices without updates for 8 years.

We worked around Revolut's blocking of GrapheneOS in January 2025 and got it working for everyone. However, it's still fully their intention to ban GrapheneOS and we've started seeing reports of users having issues logging in. It still consistently works when already logged in.
