Revolut said: “Our focus has been on protecting our staff and their families in Ukraine. We engaged a global security solutions partner which is providing guidance, emergency logistical support and the latest security updates in the country.”

“All Revoluters in Ukraine were onboarded to their dedicated security app. As the crisis escalated, we offered relocation support to all of our Ukraine-based employees, in case they wanted to relocate. In recent days we have been evacuating them or taking them to safe shelters, and have been in constant communication with those who decided to take their own routes. We continue to support those who cross the border.”

Zopa will also provide a relocation allowance of one month’s salary to support moving costs on receipt of right to work in the UK.

Also, from March 4, Revolut no longer supports transfers to or from entities in Russia and Belarus.
