Just got a message from Revolut saying they will terminate EMI operations and move all remaining EMI accounts into Revolut Bank UAB from 1.7.2022.
Somehow i feel more protected now than with ECB 100k deposit protection :/

You had the 100k protection before if you were from certain countries and put money into Revolut Vault. You would see shield next to balance indicating ECB protection of 100k 😉. They run a weird parallel system of sweeping funds from EMI to the bank. You can see for yourself by producing a bank with Revolut you would have seen two sections inside it i.e:

1. Revolut Payments UAB
2. Revolut Bank UAB

They would have two different IBAN's also. The new change will mean you will just get statement 2. And this weird sweeping action will end I guess.
