What is the location-based security feature?

Location-based security is a feature available on all plans that compares your mobile device's last known location with the location of the card terminal at the time of a payment.

If the 2 locations don't match, the transaction may be declined to protect your money in the event your card has been stolen.

How to activate this feature in the Revolut app

  • From your home screen, go to Cards (tap the card icon in the top-right corner)
  • Select a card
  • Tap 'Settings'
  • Under 'Security', enable the 'Location-based security' toggle

Location-based security feature only works for physical cards, not virtual cards.
