Revolut mobile finance - not supported on devices with custom firmware problem
Google, please index and share this message :-)
Because Revolut Ltd refuses to support highly secured phones with GrapheneOs, they force users to significantly increase their risk by using some old phones with an outdated non-maintained security-at-risk Android phone. Revolut app is so poorly secured than it is not able to detect any of these problems.
Conclusion: I have opened an account in another bank two days ago, and bye bye Revolut as soon as I get my new card.
I have money invested in revolut + all my family use it. It's hard for me to move on. Guess my only option is a 2nd device :(

I suggest checking out new Trading 212 debit card. It works on GOS, has similar features like Revolut and even offers a cashback.

No, it's not the only one. You can go back to PixelOS
AlphaElwedritsch I like grapheneos :) and dont want to give up my privacy just for 1 app

Or something like rooted LineageOS with spoofed MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY :)
Security, privacy, working Revolut app - choose 2 of them*
*GrapheneOS = no Revolut app, rooted LineageOS = decreased security, stock OS = decreased privacy
Viewpoint0232 or you can adapt to changing conditions in order to survive. Proven many a time in evolution.
For somebody Revolut is a necessity, here is an idea - you can find any app (a lot of fin apps for instance) that offers Open Banking services, authorize the app to access your Revolut account via its API.
lbschenkel I really wish EU will step in and stop this madness. But I suspect that when they decide to act, it will be too late already.
You don't really want the stupid EU to interfere, because...
If the EU will step in, then we will all be forced to use an insecure Android phone or an iPhone.
Then we will all need an insecure phone for such services and a GOS phone for secure communication.
Eagle_Owl I think the EU should try to regulate what google is doing with their play integrity API, it's an unfair system intended to support their business and not the security actually
Amk This bullshit sounds so AI generated and makes absolutely no sense...
Upgraded my phone today and can't login to revolut anymore. I can't even cancel my metal sub now??
This is fucking stupid. I just gave a 1star review on google play, and all my friends are doing the same right now (we all use graphene).
I will also write a mail to support to cancel my sub, as I can't use it anymore. I was almost considering an ultra sub, but this pisses me off A LOT.
Well done

grapheneos-enthusiast But how would they achieve that? I know GrapheneOS has a suggested approach (https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#attestation-compatibility-guide), but it still relies on whitelisting GrapheneOS' fingerprints, which, while improving the situation for GrapheneOS users, does not solve the underlying problem of hardware attestation not necessarily being an indicator of device security - for example, such an approach would still exclude users who wish to build and sign the OS themselves.
I think the privacy and security community will have a lot to do with this in 2025. It will be an exciting year and a crossroads for many

876fi Could you give an example of an app that supports offers Open Banking services to manage Revolut? I have searched but none of the banks that support open Banking is able to manage my Revolut account

I don't support Revolut either.
