Revolut encourages mid-year reset; rewards habitual savers with £100,000 prize draw for consistent money habits

- Revolut encourages customers to use the mid-point of 2026 to reboot money habits through its first UK-wide savings challenge

- By maintaining a weekly savings streak of automated deposits, participants are entered into a £10,000 monthly prize draw, with one saver set to win a £100,000 jackpot at the end of the challenge

- The incentive pairs rewards with competitive returns of up to 4% AER (variable) to help customers build long-term resilience

London, United Kingdom, 12th May 2026: Revolut, the global fintech with over 13 million UK customers, has today announced the launch of its first savings challenge in the UK, entering participants into significant prize draws in return for consistent, healthy money habits as it encourages a mid-year financial reset. Designed to move the focus from the amount saved to the habit of saving, the initiative rewards savers who maintain a weekly savings streak.

As the annual ISA season fades, Revolut is positioning the mid-point of the year as the critical time for a financial reset. The challenge is designed to make building a financial safety net effortless through automation. Customers choose a set weekly savings goal between £10 and £50, ensuring the savings remains accessible within their personal budget, and Revolut automatically moves the funds into a dedicated account.

Users who maintain their ‘savings streak’ by completing all weekly deposits in a month qualify for a £10,000 monthly draw. Consistency is the ultimate goal, and participants who maintain their streak for at least 50 out of 52 weeks in the year are entered for a chance to win a £100,000 jackpot.

Beyond the cash prizes, Revolut continues to empower users to get more from their money by offering up to 4% AER (variable) interest*, which is calculated and paid daily. For a customer saving the minimum £10 per week, this results in a guaranteed £520 annual safety net, plus accrued interest, independent of any prize winnings. This increases to £2,600 for those saving the maximum £50 per week.

Emily Lewis, Head of Growth for UK, Ireland and the Nordics at Revolut said, "A mid-year reset is the perfect time to audit your financial health and move away from the 'set and forget' mentality of January resolutions. We wanted to create a challenge that rewards the habit of saving rather than just the amount, so financial wellness doesn't feel like a chore. By putting away just £10 a week, less than the price of two coffees, our customers not only build a personal safety net of over £500 but also stand a chance to significantly boost their balance with prizes that reward disciples, healthy money habits.”

Saving within the challenge is available to all UK customers over the age of 16, with an active Revolut account. Only users over 18 are eligible to win prizes. Funds are available to withdraw at any time, ensuring customers maintain total control over their money while participating in the challenge.

To join the challenge, customers can open the Revolut app → navigate to the ‘Savings’ tab → choose Savings Challenge. Participants must sign up to the challenge by 31 May in order to take part.

* Interest is variable and depends on plan: from 3% AER (variable) on Standard to up to 4 % AER (variable) on Ultra. A lower rate might apply depending on balance. Paid plan fees and T&Cs apply.

Notes to editors

To be eligible for the monthly £10,000 prize draw, users must participate in saving for each week of the calendar month. A missed week removes eligibility for that month’s prize draw

To be eligible for the £100,000 at the close of the challenge period, participants must have saved for at least 50 out of 52 weeks in the year

Participants can withdraw saved funds or pause participation at any time. However, if they don’t deposit money back by the end of the week, they miss their streak. Two missed weeks mean they lose eligibility for the yearly prize draw.

Once users have chosen the amount they choose to save this cannot be changed.

Users are only eligible to join the challenge until 31 May. If they do not sign up before the end of the month, they won’t be eligible to take part.

Users under 18, while eligible to save within the challenge, are not eligible to win any prizes in accordance with regulation
