How hard is it to cancel Revolut?
Revolut scores 76/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the GB — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via in-app, email, postal mail.
To cancel (downgrade) a Revolut paid plan (Plus, Premium, Metal, Ultra), go to Profile → Plan → Change Plan in the app and select downgrade to Standard. This is the primary self-serve path; no web portal option exists. As a fallback, you can write to Revolut at 30 South Colonnade, London, E14 5HX, or email [email protected] if app access is unavailable. For monthly subscribers: cancellation within the first 14 days entitles you to a full refund; cancelling between 14 days and 10 months incurs the current month's fee plus a 2-month break fee (Ultra: 1-month break fee if within 6 months); after 10 months (or 6 months for Ultra) no break fee applies, only the current month's fee. For annual subscribers: no refund and no break fee; access continues until the end of the annual billing cycle. To fully close the account, you must first downgrade to Standard, zero out all balances, and then go to Profile → Account → Close account. Data deletion requests go to [email protected]; UK law requires retention of transaction data for 6 years post-closure.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
