A new financial paradigm with RevolutA new financial paradigm with Revolut

Revolut is transforming the global financial landscape with its innovative offering of banking and financial services that radically change the way users manage and interact with their money.

Thanks to its multi-currency current accounts, Revolut allows transactions in over 30 currencies at the real interbank exchange rate, eliminating the hidden fees and outrageous charges typically associated with international money transfers.

Revolut’s debit cards, both physical and virtual, make it possible to make purchases worldwide, automatically using the local currency and applying the best exchange rates. Le carte virtuali offrono un ulteriore livello di sicurezza per gli acquisti online, con la possibilità di generare numeri di carta unici che minimizzano il rischio di frodi.

Revolut’s app integrates advanced features for simplified and secure money management, such as real-time monitoring of expenses, creation of customised budgets and instant notifications for each transaction.

This gives you unprecedented control over your finances, facilitating planning and saving with intuitive and easily accessible tools.

Protection and security with Revolut insurance

Revolut, aware of the importance of security and protection in the lives of its users, has expanded its offer by integrating a versatile and comprehensive insurance service. This service, known as ‘Revolut Insurance’, covers a range of needs, from travel insurance to protection for electronic devices, offering a reliable solution against the unexpected.

Revolut’s travel insurance is designed to offer peace of mind to users on the move. This cover automatically provides protection from the moment of departure, covering eventualities such as flight delays or cancellations, lost luggage and emergency medical expenses abroad.

Users can activate this insurance directly from the Revolut app, with the possibility of customising the cover according to the duration of the trip and the destinations visited.

In an era where technology plays a central role in our daily lives, the protection of electronic devices becomes crucial. Revolut responds to this need with specific insurance that covers accidental damage, theft or malfunctioning of mobile devices. This policy is easily managed through the Revolut app, allowing users to register their devices and activate their cover in a few simple steps.

While technological advancement offers innovative solutions for sustainability and efficiency, it also brings risks such as misinformation and cyber vulnerability. The report highlights how disinformation can influence economic and political decisions, undermining trust in institutions and influencing financial markets. In addition, cyber attacks on critical infrastructure can have direct consequences on the economy, causing disruptions of essential services and economic losses.

Travel planning reinvented with ‘Revolut Stays’

Revolut has elevated the concept of travel planning by introducing ‘Revolut Stays’. This service allows users to easily book flights, accommodation, and car rentals directly from the Revolut app. In addition to these options, ‘Revolut Stays’ offers access to unique experiences and local activities, turning each trip into a personalised adventure. Users enjoy exclusive benefits such as cashback of up to 10% on accommodation booked through the app, as well as special offers on flights and car rentals, making travel planning not only easier but also more cost-effective.

Innovation in telephony with ‘Revolut Connect’ and the advantage of roaming

“Revolut Connect’, Revolut’s mobile telephony service, does not only offer flexible and customisable phone plans; it is also an innovative solution to address one of the most heartfelt issues for travellers: the cost of international roaming. Thanks to ‘Revolut Connect’, users can enjoy extremely competitive roaming rates, allowing them to use data, make calls and send messages at affordable prices when travelling abroad.

This service eliminates one of the biggest worries for frequent travellers, namely the surprise of exorbitant roaming charges once back home. With ‘Revolut Connect’, the advantage of roaming translates into greater peace of mind and control over mobile phone expenses, making every trip abroad more enjoyable and stress-free. The ability to manage and monitor one’s roaming plan directly from the Revolut app further amplifies convenience, ensuring that users can always choose the option that best suits their travel and communication needs.

Towards the future

In an era of rapid technological change, Revolut stands out not only for its ability to offer innovative financial services but also for its vision of a future in which finance is only one part of a much broader offer.

With each new service launched, Revolut moves ever closer to its goal of becoming an indispensable super app, accompanying users in every aspect of their digital lives, from managing personal finances to travel planning, from insurance to telephony.

On this journey, Revolut does not just follow trends but defines them, promising to continue to surprise and innovate in the global fintech landscape.
