Getting started with Street Mode

Street Mode is a transfer limits feature that provides an extra layer of protection against phone theft or coercion. Street Mode is disabled by default. Once enabled, you can set up 'Trusted locations' and/or 'Trusted Wi-Fi networks'.

Outside of these locations or networks, you'll need to wait for a security delay to end and perform a biometric check before the transfer can be completed. The default security delay lasts 1 hour, but you can customise it to 30 minutes or 6 hours, according to your preferences.

This means if your phone is stolen and taken outside a 'Trusted location' or 'Trusted Wi-Fi network' your account is protected so that someone else can't access your account or transfer money out of it.

How to set up Street Mode

To activate Street Mode in the Revolut app:

  • Tap your profile icon in the top-left corner
  • Select 'Security', 'Wealth Protection', and 'Transfers'
  • Enable the 'Street Mode' toggle
  • Follow the steps to enable location-based protection and set up your 'Trusted locations' and/or your 'Trusted Wi-Fi networks'

If you enable Street Mode, you'll need to set a minimum transfer limit.

To add, amend, or remove a trusted location or network

  • Head to 'Transfers' in the Wealth Protection section of your Security Hub
  • Tap 'Trusted locations' or 'Trusted Wi-Fi'
  • Select the location or Wi-Fi network you want to amend or remove
  • Update details or tap 'Remove' in the top-right corner

There's no limit to the number of trusted locations or networks you can have at once. To add a new trusted Wi-Fi, you need to be connected to it. You can set up trusted locations by searching for an address within your region, or selecting an address outside of your region directly on the map.

  • Head to 'Transfers' in the Wealth Protection section of your Security Hub
  • Tap 'Trusted locations'
  • Tap 'Add new' and follow the steps to add a location

How to turn off Street Mode

  • Go to 'Security', Wealth Protection, and 'Transfers'
  • If you're in a trusted location or network, turn Street Mode off using the toggle on the screen
  • If you're outside, wait for the security delay to enter Wealth Protection and verify again with biometrics. Then, turn it off using the toggle

With Street Mode on, instant services like Wero, Pix, Bizum, BLIK, and iDEAL will be declined if they exceed your limit and are initiated outside of your trusted location. You'll be redirected to your Wealth Protection settings to adjust the limit.

Street Mode is an optional security feature and does not guarantee complete protection.
