Revolut is specifically banning #GrapheneOS by checking for the build machine hostname and username being set to 'grapheneos'. We've changed these to build-host and build-user. Combined with another change, this allow our users to log in to it again until they roll out Play Integrity API enforcement. There's no legitimate excuse for banning using a much more private and secure operating system while permitting devices with no security patches for a decade. Meanwhile, Revolut's shoddily made app tells users they're banning GrapheneOS because they're "serious about keeping your data secure". Revolut's app will stop working against once they start enforcing having a Play Integrity API result showing it's a Google certified device. This is not a security feature but rather anti-competitive behavior from Google deployed by apps like Revolut wanting to pretend they care about security. Revolut uses a bunch of shady closed source third party libraries in their app and it's one of these libraries banning GrapheneOS. These libraries are a major security risk and put user data at risk of being compromised. Revolut is not taking user security seriously at all and is cutting corners.

also, Revolut lie about their fees, I did a £1000 buy simultaneously between Ziglu and Revolut of DOGE. Ziglu gave what I expected and Revolut I ended up with about 3% less than I did on Ziglu....the excuses they gave were pathetic, saying "price fuctuations". I am a trader so use TradingView and there was no fucking price fluctuations. Now I know they can't be trusted so I will be comparing Wirex with Ziglu and Crypto.com next time...but with USDT to EUR across the three, using 3 devices in late Feb I expect.
