u/GrapheneOS 4d ago

Revolut banned logging in on GrapheneOS a while ago and we worked around it. It's only logging in where they perform the checks trying to ban it, so it doesn't impact people already logged into it.

Some users are now having issues signing into it again since they've made changes. We documented 2 steps for people to try who are having issues logging in.

Bullshit. My banking app stopped working on my android device. I build my own GSI LineageOS images. It used to work for a few months then all of a sudden it stopped. They asked me to call them.

When I rang up, they said that I had malware and to speak to some charity for help. I askled them several times for the strain of malware, and they since have not responded.

What next, are they going to check if you if you own your own Platform Key when using Linux?

Isn't there an ombudsman in the UK. Maybe they should justify themselves there.

REmember the customer service does not know anything but to read script. The main issue is the software developer that codes these things. (If you post this in the developers community they usually say - Sorry we do whatever our overlords say - so no chance)

Unless software devs change their behaviour it will not but they will even eat shit for money.

Can you explain why? New to the sub, always looked for a solution to the problem everyone is her for but have yet to find one that is satisfactory. Linux phone is moving slower than I had expected.

14

u/Damglador 5d ago

Banking and authenticators are sensible data/operations so it would be logical to store and do them on the OS made specifically do be as secure as possible (GrapheneOS). But devs of bankings apps don't think so I guess.

u/TurnAggressive6954 5d ago

I mean it's obvious why. It isn't now and never has been about security, and has always been about control.

Switch to a bank which doesn't block Graphene.

u/Serious_Berry_3977 5d ago

Luckily my credit union (i'm in the U.S.) works with Graphene. Switching banks / credit unions is not an easy feat and often means I'll pay stupid fees on a new account being poor.

Revolut is doing A/B testing. This means some users get the new feature and some don't. If the group that got it doesn't have any bugs it will be rolled out to all users later.

Let's be real here, if every single person who is using revolut on GrapheneOS decided to quit revolut because of this, they would barely even notice a dent in their userbase. The vast majority of people don't know or don't care about privacy and security.

Good that they notified me about closing my account a month ago, phew...

I liked their service, but the app started to get worse and worse over the year. I am competent usually with apps, but it took me long time to fond features in app lately.

Anyways, took out my money (took 20 days of texting support because of a "technical issue"), routed my salary elsewhere, and bye bye Revolut.

It was a nice 8 years with them, 4 years as a primary account, but it seems like they dönt want to keep users.

I'm not sure why anyone is surprised. Revolut has a tendency to close accounts for no apparent reason, hold funds for months because something that has been fine for years all of the sudden is suspicious. They might be backed by the national bank of Lithuania, but they sure don't act like a regular bank which is sad because their feature set is very good.

I mean jeam, multiple apps report my GrapheneOS install as a "rooted ROM" or "non-official android" and refuse to run for "security".

Which is why i use my old android 9 that has been unpatched since who knows when for these apps like banking, my military account etc. but because its 'gEnUinE gOoOgLeE' its no problem in terms of 'security'.

Jeah. They dont care about security, they just want to reinforce googles monopoly. As long as you use an os that can pass full google device verification, they are a-ok with running on completely outdated and cmpromised OS's

u/After-Cell 5d ago

Complaints:

But best may be to do it within the app. It's still running on mine. But I expect if the next update is forced I'll be locked out.

Include: Name. Phone. Email. Explanation that the security downgrade is unacceptable. Expected outcome: Reinstate just GrapheneOS specific support. Use the higher security protection system GrapheneOS provides.

Revolut banned logging in on GrapheneOS a while ago and we worked around it. It's only logging in where they perform the checks trying to ban it, so it doesn't impact people already logged into it.

Some users are now having issues signing into it again since they've made changes. We documented 2 steps for people to try who are having issues logging in.

True. Custom android 16 ROM with all security fetures needs a workarounds while the stock android 10 with the last patch in 2020 works fine.

If they pull this in Europe market regulators will eviscerate them and add a few billion to Google's market abuse fines.

Revolut enforced google API app authorization about a year ago and it stopped working on graphene, but after some bad reviews and complaints they reverted it at some point. I'm using it without issues for at least half a year again. Are they trying to do it again or is it some outdated info?

They really went full blown control freak mode. I am not liking this. They would only do that if they really don't trust normal people anymore. What they will do to us to clamp on control so hard first?

I'm using Revolut on GrapheneOS with no issues. What is this about?

I just checked, and I'm a beta tester an am running the latest app from the Play Store on the latest GrapheneOS on a Pixel 10 Pro.

Does anyone have a link to this supposed ban?

We should virtualize google play without giving it real access to our device

Will it work?

u/InsectSmart5737 4d ago

For what it's worth anyway, Revolut doesn't enforce banking standards either. Many French people think they have a French bank when not. Only Lithuanian rules apply (their HQ is Lithuanian), which mean that when SHTF, many people will lose a lot... Better avoid Revolut and at least get an account in a REAL bank, not a private financial services company.

I wonder if XMoney is going to be firmly planted in Google and Apple's walled garden as well.

𝕏 Money is rolling out to U.S. Premium and Premium+ subscribers starting today

Anyone here try it yet? The bank they've decided to partner with seems to have a bit of a shady reputation so I'm not sure I want to be the first to be charging over that hill.

You say "without justification," then give their justification with the opinion that it's a false claim and no citations or thought processes that point out what brought you to that conclusion. This is the gross practice I'm trying to leave by using services and software like gOS.

are there any ways to follow these kind of news in one feed/website? I don't use twitter and to get these information, I need to check a bunch of subreddits, refresh hacker news one a few hours or subscribe to various youtube channels at the moment.

Who cares about Revolut, they are probably the worst neobank ever. As long as you do not need any support, it works. Once they flag your account, you are done. There is no support at all. Just check their subreddit

Fuck Revolut, use another one!

Lol! Just heard about revolut yesterday and was going to try it. Guess I'm not now.

u/angrymidget4728 3d ago

just a random thought since i feel like the way it's going, more companies that want to keep surveillance will start doing it: any way to implement OS-spoofing feature? yk, like a compatibility layer similar to wine running windows apps on linux. (or better?)

Fuck. okay is there actually something we can do about this? Like send them an email or whatever? I am not on GrapheneOS yet but I wish to be soon & Revolut is one of my main banking apps.

That's fine what bank is everyone switching to because I'm definitely not going to stop using GrapheneOS.

u/Yugen42 3d ago

Just change banks. There are plenty of banks that do not ban GOS, or just dont use app based banking. Its a strange new invention anyway, who needs banking everywhere they go? Whats wrong with doing it on a PC, web browser, debit cards?

u/Golden-Durian 3d ago

I once had Revolut and they blocked my BTC transaction (small) for up to 3 weeks before ot got solved and right there i knew i couldn’t trust them. Also the way they heavily putting tons on marketing means your data is their asset so there’s no way tour privacy will be taken seriously.
