Changes since Revolut's Romanian branch launch

Revolut has opened a Romanian branch, with customer account migrations continuing over the coming weeks. Instant Access Savings are now handled by the Romanian branch instead of the Lithuanian entity.

For existing Instant Access Savings, some changes to taxation apply as a result of this migration. Accounts that haven't been migrated yet have 15% tax deducted on savings interest as mandated by Lithuanian law, with taxes reported and remitted to Lithuanian authorities.

However, after your account is migrated, this will change to a 10% tax deduction on any interest before it's credited to your Instant Access Savings, as is required by Romanian law. Then, we will report and remit the taxes withheld to the Romanian tax authorities.
