Revolut is incredibly negligent when it comes to security. It includes a bunch of closed source third party libraries with privacy, security and compatibility issues. Several of these libraries supposedly exist to protect security but in fact create serious security weaknesses.
Revolut recently banned using GrapheneOS without any justification. They're falsely claiming to do be doing it for security reasons. In reality, they're enforcing licensing Google Play. Revolut doesn't enforce security standards. It runs on Android 9 with no patches since 2018.

Device and strong integrity require a Google certified device running the unmodified stock OS. Basic is expected to pass when logged into a Google account which can be a purpose-specific throwaway but those won't. GrapheneOS has a feature intercepting Play Integrity API requests and it uses that to show a notice when an app uses it so you would know if the app was using Play Integrity API. If there isn't a notification, it isn't.
V-Key's libraries depend on private APIs and implementation details. This causes compatibility issues with new Android releases, OEM changes and GrapheneOS security protections. We're now aware of it and worked around the known compatibility issues. However, they need to start fixing it themselves.
We've resolved the new compatibility issues with anti-tampering code in banking apps. We're in the process of making a new release with the workarounds. We posted a new thread about it: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116925427491681935
Motorola flagships with GrapheneOS support will likely be available in 2027, hopefully within 12 months. It will take longer for lower end devices to be supported. The initial devices will be more expensive than most Pixels but it will end up supporting devices in a similar price range as Pixels including the 'a' series devices over time.
Our users are reporting the Chase banking app is banning using GrapheneOS but permits it when a VPN is enabled and set to another country: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/40289-chase-app-error-on-latest-graphene-version We're aware of this compatibility issue with several apps and are actively working on improvements to resolve it.
GrapheneOS is already the only way to get all of the Android security preview patches early. Samsung flagships and Pixels ship a subset early but much more slowly than we do and they don't ship all of them. We get all of the security preview patches integrated and tested quite quickly. It's already a unique feature of GrapheneOS giving it yet another major privacy and security advantage over every other Android variant. We strongly recommend everyone uses the security preview releases.
