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.

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.
