Revolut recently banned using GrapheneOS without any justification. They're falsely claiming to do be doing it for security reasons. In reality, they're enforcing licensing Google Play. Revolut doesn't enforce security standards. It runs on Android 9 with no patches since 2018.

The checks are only done at login in practice. It also still works for most people despite their attempts to ban GrapheneOS but we're hearing a small number of people having new issues logging in now. That's usually a sign it's going to stop allowing it for a larger number of people soon.

Revolut is incredibly negligent when it comes to security. It includes a bunch of closed source third party libraries with privacy, security and compatibility issues. Several of these libraries supposedly exist to protect security but in fact create serious security weaknesses.

GrapheneOS doesn't fail to meet any security standard they defined. It greatly exceeds the privacy and security of anything they allow. Revolut has instructed their customer support to make inaccurate claims about the security and compatibility of GrapheneOS to excuse banning it.

GrapheneOS is far more secure than the most secure Android devices they permit. The security standards Revolut claims to be upholding are non-existent. The least secure devices they allow are outrageously bad. They go out of the way to support devices without updates for 8 years.
