Revolut probate limit (2026)

Last reviewed 18 August 2026

Revolut sits at the lower end of the scale, and its status as an e-money institution can add a wrinkle to the process.

How much Revolut releases without probate

Revolut is understood to release up to around £5,000 without a grant, subject to its own review. Confirm the current position directly, as digital providers change their processes often.

Notifying Revolut

Notify Revolut through its in-app support; keep records of the correspondence, as digital providers rely on it.

Questions

Is Revolut a bank?+
Revolut operates under e-money and, in some markets, banking permissions; for bereavement purposes treat it like any account holder and confirm its current process.
Does the threshold apply to the whole estate?+
No — it applies only to the balance held with Revolut at the date of death, not to the estate as a whole.
