2. What is Revolut — Kids & Teens?

RKT is designed for parents to enable their children to gain financial skills and learn how to use and manage money. If you use RKT for other reasons you may be in breach of these RKT Terms.


A RKT user can view transactions made on the RKT account using the RKT app. A RKT Card may be requested by you to enable the nominated RKT user to spend and withdraw cash. You, or an appointed Co-Parent, can also control how RKT users can use their RKT Card by enabling or disabling card features via the Revolut app including swipe payments, contactless payments, online payments and ATM withdrawals.


The RKT User will also be issued with a card linked to the account that they can use to spend and withdraw cash. The RKT User may also be able to add their RKT Card to Apple Pay or Google Pay (subject to Apple Pay or Google Pay’s terms and eligibility requirements).


You retain control over the available features (including spending limits) and settings for the RKT account via the Revolut app.

3. Who can use a RKT account?

You can create a RKT account at any time in the Revolut app. When opening a RKT account you must nominate the RKT user who will be able to access the RKT account. If required, you must provide us with the information we need to verify the identity of the RKT user. You can only give a person access as a RKT user if they are aged between 6 years old and 17 years old and you are their parent, guardian or otherwise have legal responsibility for them.


If you have more than one RKT user, you can create more than one RKT account. However, there are certain limitations to the number of RKT accounts you can hold depending on your plan. The number of RKT accounts that you are able to link to your Revolut account is set out below.


Paid Plan type

Number of linked RKT Accounts

Standard

1

Plus

Up to 2

Premium

Up to 2

Metal

Up to 5


Each RKT account can only have one nominated RKT user linked to it. Once you have nominated a RKT user to access a particular RKT account this cannot be changed.

4. Features

USING AND TOPPING-UP RKT ACCOUNTS

You can send money to, and withdraw money from, your RKT account and keep track of how RKT users are spending that money within the Revolut app. If you are an appointed Co-Parent, you can send money to the RKT account but a Co-Parent is not able to withdraw money from the RKT account.


You or an appointed Co-Parent can also utilise the allowances feature to set up a recurring payment from your Revolut account to top up the balance in the RKT account.


A RKT account and RKT Card can be used to spend the electronic money in the RKT account.


If a RKT user attempts a transaction using your RKT Card and there are insufficient funds in the RKT account then the transaction will be declined, even if there are sufficient funds in your or an appointed Co-Parent’s Revolut account.


RKT PAYMENTS

A RKT Payment can be made to another Eligible RKT user or a Revolut user. If a payment is made to a Revolut user, the Revolut user must be added from the RKT user's phone contacts by their mobile number, or by their Revtag.


To make or receive a RKT Payment:

  1. the sender must be an Eligible RKT user (over the age of 15 years old); and
  2. the recipient must be an Eligible RKT user or Revolut user, or to or from their lead parent and/or co-parent.


You are required to approve the initial RKT Payment made to each individual recipient. Once you have approved a particular recipient you will not be required to provide further approval for future RKT Payments to that recipient, unless the RKT Payment is for an amount of $325 or above. If the RKT Payment is $325 or above, you will be required to approve the specific RKT Payment.


A Co-Parent is not authorised to approve RKT Payments.


RKT PAYMENT LINKS

An Eligible RKT user may also receive electronic money transfers through a payment link if you enable this feature from your Revolut app. An RKT user cannot use a payment link to send money.


An Eligible RKT user can only receive electronic money through a payment link if:


  • the feature has been enabled by you in the Revolut app;
  • the currency being sent is the same as your Revolut account; and
  • the electronic payment amount does not exceed any limits applicable to RKT accounts.


You will be notified of any payment links sent and you can disable this feature at any time within the Revolut app.


All payment links have a time limit and will expire after the period notified within the RKT app.


CARD PERSONALISATION

The card personalisation feature provides RKT users with the opportunity to design and order one of a kind personalised cards by adding drawings, badges (from a selection of pre-approved stickers) and text.


Personalised cards will be subject to the Personalised & Special Edition Card Terms.


For more information on the fees and costs associated with personalised cards please see the Fees and Charges Section.


We reserve the right to not accept your card design for any reason.


CHALLENGES & GOALS

  • Challenges: Use your Revolut app to create tasks or chores in the RKT app for the RKT user to complete for extra pocket money.
  • Goals: Using your Revolut app or the RKT app, set savings goals and keep track of progress toward a set goal. Savings are separated from spending money in the RKT account.


ADDITIONAL FEATURES FOR PAID PLAN SUBSCRIBERS

If you are a Plus, Premium or Metal subscriber, you will also be able to access additional features using the Revolut app and the RKT app. These features are not available to you if you are on a Standard plan.

  • Co-Parent: You can appoint a Co-Parent to share limited access and control of the RKT account as a secondary parent. If you have multiple RKT accounts, you can appoint different Co-Parents to those accounts. Each RKT account can have a maximum of one Co-Parent attached to it. You or any appointed Co-Parent can only be attached to a maximum of five RKT accounts at one time (in either capacity). A Co-Parent may send money to a connected RKT account and keep track of how RKT users are spending their money using their own Revolut account. However, a Co-Parent is not able to withdraw money once it has been sent or close a RKT account. You may also remove a Co-Parent at any time and replace a Co-Parent on any RKT account up to three times in one year.

5. Who is the legal owner of a RKT account and RKT Card?


This section does not apply to Co-Parents.


A RKT account is a sub-account of your Revolut account; you are the legal owner.


Each prepaid card issued to a RKT account is issued to you and you authorise your RKT user to use it on your behalf.


Any RKT Payment or payment link that is initiated by a RKT user to send or receive payments is an instruction that is authorised by you.


You remain responsible for any of these actions by the RKT user as if you had done them yourself.


Although we provide you with tools to assist you to control your RKT user’s use of RKT (like preventing ATM withdrawals or online purchases and by adding or removing money or enabling a payment link), you remain responsible for that use.


Only you and we (Revolut Payments Australia Pty Ltd) have rights under these RKT Terms. This agreement is personal to you and you cannot transfer any rights or obligations under it to anyone else.

6. What are my responsibilities?

This section does not apply to Co-Parents.

As the legal owner of the RKT account, you are responsible for it and all actions taken by your RKT user with it, including any card transactions. We do not accept any liability for how or where the RKT Card may be used by your RKT user.


You are also responsible for:

  • explaining to your RKT user how to use your RKT account and card in line with these RKT Terms (and must do so before they start using it).
  • ensuring that your nominated RKT user(s) use of your RKT account is acceptable to you.
  • making sure that the electronic money balance in the RKT account is sufficient (but not excessive) for your RKT user.
  • keeping your RKT Cards, PINs and other card details safe and if they are lost or stolen, freezing and reporting to us.
  • contacting us to resolve any issues or questions about the account (customer support is not offered in the RKT app).

Remember, the terms and conditions referring to account and card use as set out in the Personal Terms also apply to your RKT account as it is a sub-account of your Revolut account. This means you are also responsible for ensuring that you, any appointed Co-Parent and the RKT user's use of your RKT account is in line with those Personal Terms.

7. Who can use a RKT Card and what for?

You can order one RKT Card for each RKT account linked to your Revolut account. This RKT Card must only be used by the RKT user you have nominated to use and access the relevant RKT account. An appointed Co-Parent is not able to order a RKT Card.


The RKT Card can be used like any other card on your Revolut personal account to make purchases online or in person and to make ATM withdrawals. You or an appointed Co-Parent can turn these features on and off from the Revolut app.


If the RKT user is over 13, they may be eligible to hold a virtual card. You can generate a virtual card for an RKT user, or the RKT user may request the generation of a virtual card. If you add a new RKT user, they will automatically have a virtual card generated.


You will be notified if an RKT user generates a virtual card. You will have to approve each virtual card generated, unless the RKT user has added their phone number to their RKT account and has permission to make online purchases.


The RKT card (including virtual card) may also be eligible for Apple or Google Pay (subject to Apple Pay or Google Pay’s terms and eligibility requirements). By ordering a physical card for your nominated RKT user, you agree that your RKT User may be able to use the card through Apple or Google Pay on their Apple or Android device, as well as just by using the physical card. You will be able to see all transactions made by the RKT user using Apple or Google Pay from the Revolut app, just as you would with a physical card transaction. To remove the card from Apple or Google Pay, it needs to be removed from the RKT user’s Apple or Android device. If you freeze the RKT Card in the Revolut app, your nominated RKT user will not be able to use both the physical card and Apple or Google Pay.



We may block certain merchant types which are not age appropriate for RKT users. For example, merchants who only sell cigarettes or gambling products. To do this, we rely on the merchant's registered business type (also known as an ‘MCC’), not the actual details of what is being purchased with a RKT Card. If we block an MCC the RKT Card cannot be used to make purchases or transfers to those merchants who are designated with that MCC. We may modify our list of blocked MCC codes if we find that legitimate, age-appropriate purchases are consistently being blocked. We cannot ensure that all inappropriate purchases are blocked, for example if a merchant is selling a range of goods or has an inaccurate registered business type. If we block a merchant, you can't turn it back on.

8. Can I use RKT in more than one currency?

You can only open RKT accounts in Australian dollars. You or an appointed Co-Parent or Eligible RKT user can only send money to RKT accounts in Australian Dollars.


If a RKT card is used to make a purchase in a currency other than Australian Dollars, we'll perform a currency conversion in the same way as we would for a transaction on your Revolut account.

9. Are there any fees or limits on a RKT account?

There is no charge to create a RKT account.


If you order a RKT Card, the same fees apply as for the subscription level of the Revolut account you hold. If a fee does apply, you'll be shown in the app before you incur it and it will be charged to your Revolut account.


The use of your RKT account is subject to the same fees as for your Revolut account, other than the following exceptions:

Note: the ATM provider may still charge a fee to you for making an ATM withdrawal.

Premium: Up to A$250

Metal: Up to A$300

(the RKT ATM Withdrawal Allowance)

Maximum RKT payment

Any RKT Payment above A$325 will also require your approval.

Top-up limit (including receiving RKT Payments)

A$7,000 per year

These limits apply to each individual RKT account separately.

10. What happens if a RKT account balance is negative?

Just like your Revolut account, RKT accounts are not designed to hold a negative balance. However, this could happen if you don’t have sufficient funds to cover fees owed to us or because you have made an offline transaction.


If this happens, we will contact you to make a payment. If you do not take action, you agree that we may transfer an amount from your Revolut account to your RKT account to remediate any negative balance amount. If this action results in a negative balance on your Revolut account, our Personal Terms will apply in the ordinary way.

11. How can a RKT account or card be closed or cancelled?

If you want to stop the use of a RKT account at any time you can:

  • freeze or cancel the RKT Card in the Revolut app.
  • transfer some or all of the money in the RKT account back to your Revolut account.


You can also permanently close a RKT account by accessing the settings within your Revolut app or by contacting Customer Support. An appointed Co-Parent is not able to close a RKT account. Upon closure of a RKT account any remaining electronic money held in that RKT account will be transferred only to your Revolut account (not to a Co-Parent's Revolut account) and the relevant RKT Card will be cancelled.


The terms and conditions relating to closing accounts in the Personal Terms also apply to your RKT account.


WHAT HAPPENS IF A PARENT CLOSES THEIR REVOLUT ACCOUNT?

A RKT account is a sub-account of the Revolut account held by a parent or guardian. The closure of a parent’s Revolut account automatically closes any linked RKT account(s).

12. Access to restricted individual accounts for RKT Users 16 and above

When a RKT user turns 16, they will be eligible to sign up to their own Revolut Personal account with restrictions (“16-17 account”) in the main Revolut app. The 16–17 Account has basic functionality only (please see Personal Terms).


Prior to the RKT user signing up for a 16–17 Account, you may block the transfer of funds from their RKT account to their 16–17 Account. You will receive a notification in-app with information on how to do this. Any funds that you do not transfer will be transferred to your Revolut account. An RKT user under 19 is able to hold a RKT account and 16–17 account concurrently.


RKT accounts automatically terminate at the earlier of:

  • the closure of the RKT account by you; and
  • the RKT user attaining the age of 19.

13. Privacy

PERMISSION FOR US TO PROCESS YOUR RKT USER'S PERSONAL INFORMATION

To provide services under this agreement we need to collect certain personal information about your nominated RKT user from you. We may also collect certain personal information from your nominated RKT user directly, for example:

  • if your nominated RKT user is aged 15 and above and created a RKT account themselves, they will be able to provide their information to us directly; and
  • if your nominated RKT user is under 15 years old, they will be able to provide certain types of information to us (such as their mobile phone number) on the basis that you as their parent or guardian will be required to review their request to provide that information and consent to the provision of that information to us.


Notwithstanding the above, you will be required to confirm the personal information submitted by a nominated RKT user.


By entering into these RKT Terms you are giving us permission to gather, process and store your RKT user’s personal information for the purpose of providing our services to you and them. You give the same permissions when you provide any consent (including an in-app consent) to a nominated RKT user giving us their personal information. This doesn't affect any rights and obligations you, your RKT user, or we have under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). You can withdraw the permission granted to us to process your child's personal information by closing your RKT account at any time. This will end the agreement between us, which is subject to these RKT Terms. However, the agreement and the Personal Terms will continue to remain in place between you and us, for your Revolut account.


If you end your agreement to these RKT Terms, we'll stop using your RKT user’s information for the purpose of providing our services, but we may need to keep their information for other legal reasons.


For more information about how we may use any personal personal information that is collected generally, please see our Privacy Policy.

14. Everything else

Remember, except as expressly modified in these RKT Terms, our Personal Terms apply to your use of RKT. This means that those rights and obligations contained in the Personal Terms also apply to the use of a RKT account. For this reason, you should read these RKT Terms and our Personal Terms together.
