🚨 @Revolut launches “Street Mode”, one of the smartest security upgrades we’ve seen in fintech this year. Phone thefts are exploding. And the threat has evolved: Criminals now force victims to complete the selfie check before running, a trend known as “transfer mugging.” Revolut’s answer? Context-aware security. What Street Mode does: You set “Trusted Locations” — home, office, hotel, wherever you feel safe. Inside those zones → transfers work normally. Outside → any transfer above your limit triggers: ✅ Extra selfie verification 👉 Mandatory 1-hour delay before funds can move That one hour is the kill switch. A critical window for you (or Revolut’s fraud team) to freeze everything before money disappears. Why this matters: Traditional bank security is static. Same rules whether you’re on your couch or walking through a crime hotspot at 2 AM. Revolut is building adaptive financial security: Rules and protections that respond to your environment, not just your device. Over 1 million users already enabled Revolut’s Wealth Protection feature. Street Mode extends that logic to real-world threats.
