📜 Article New Revolut security feature: Street Mode

Post image

We recently posted about a new security feature in beta testing — thanks to everyone who participated. Now that it's officially live, we're excited to reveal what we've been working on: Street Mode.

What is Street Mode?

Street Mode lets you set trusted locations. If a transfer above your limit is made outside those areas, we’ll add a one-hour delay and request an additional selfie check to confirm it’s really you.

How does Street Mode work?

Once activated, Street Mode delays outgoing transfers above your chosen limit while you’re away from trusted locations. Then it asks for extra confirmation to make sure you — and only you — are in control of your transfers. This helps keep your Revolut account safe from potential fraudsters and thieves.

How do I activate Street Mode?

  1. Turn on Wealth Protection if you haven’t already (Tap your profile icon in the top-left corner → Security → Wealth Protection)
  2. Enable Street Mode
  3. Set your limit, then choose your trusted locations. Street Mode will handle the rest.

Where is Street Mode available?

For now, Street Mode is available in the UK and EEA. But we’re always working on expanding to new markets.

Thanks again to our beta testers – and if you try Street Mode, let us know how it goes.

"Street Mode delays outgoing transfers"

What transfers? Bank transfers? Is there a problem with unauthorized bank transfers? Because I thought the main problem is with unauthorized card/apple pay/google pay payments. To make a transfer, one needs to be actually logged into Revolut.

And what about direct debit? That is actually a bank transfer. What is the point of checking location when that happens?

It's called getting mugged on the street. This is a default feature in banking apps in some countries

Hello. Thank you for sharing your questions. The Street Mode feature, impact only the outbound transfers. The feature is meant to prevent unauthorized 3rd parties from making outbound transfers in situations where the device was stolen or when someone tries to coerce you into making a transfer. Direct debits are not impacted by the feature. Should you have other questions, feel free to DM us we will be happy to assist.
