Their response to me

Thank you so much for your patience and for sharing that article. I've taken a moment to review it, and I want to be completely honest with you.

You're right that this is a live and evolving situation. GrapheneOS has publicly raised concerns about how Revolut handles device verification, and I understand why that feels frustrating especially when you've chosen GrapheneOS because of its strong security and privacy credentials.

I want to inform you: at the moment, we only officially support standard Android (with official manufacturer firmware) and iOS. This means GrapheneOS hasn't gone through our internal compatibility and security testing. It's not about limiting your choice it's about ensuring we can guarantee the safety and stability of your financial data on every device we support. Since GrapheneOS is community-maintained, we can't currently verify it meets the rigorous standards we set for protecting your funds.

It's an absurd reply obviously written by someone who's never written a single Android application. Probably a secretary who got Claude to write it up for her while she plans Hawaiian shirt Friday. They make it sound as if they have a thorough process of some kind, but the process is almost certainly going to be a few people signing off that it comes from either Google or Apple.
