I'm having trouble making credit repayments

Eligibility for forbearance and how it works

Forbearance is a temporary support measure that Revolut may offer to customers experiencing financial hardship. It involves an adjustment to the original terms of the credit agreement to help you manage your financial situation.

To be considered for forbearance, your loan must have made at least one loan repayment. You must have an active, unrestricted account and not be ‌‌subject to enforcement actions. Your credit agreement must not have already been terminated.

When applying for forbearance, you must be up to date with payments (and remain up to date with them during the application process), provide documents showing temporary financial difficulty, and be able to meet the revised repayment terms, based on our financial assessment.

Other helpful information

You can change the loan payment due date to align with your salary, or any other income receipt date, if this makes managing repayments easier. To find out more, read this FAQ.

If you're experiencing difficulties in repaying your existing credit, don't hesitate to contact the bank who issued the credit product. The sooner you address any financial difficulties — the better, as this helps reduce the total debt and avoids the situation worsening.
