Short answer
Revolut’s captured primer describes payment alerts and an up-to-date balance, with distinct enable and defer actions. The next screenshot shows the iOS permission dialog over the primer. This separates the product’s explanation from the operating system’s authorization decision. source[1]
Product explanation, then permission
The first screenshot connects notifications to a concrete banking job: seeing card-payment activity and balance updates. A prominent enable action sits above a quieter Not now action. The second screenshot shows the iOS dialog, including allow, scheduled-summary and deny choices in that captured device state. source[1]
Read repeated frames carefully
The four-screen archive also contains another primer frame and a loading-state frame. These are captured UI states; they do not prove four different onboarding questions or repeated permission requests. A screenshot sequence alone does not establish which system option the person chose or whether future notifications arrived. source[1]
What to carry into another product
Explain the specific information a person will receive before asking for authorization, and distinguish postponing the product prompt from granting system permission. Evaluate whether that explanation helps users make an informed choice. The screenshots provide a design reference, not a measured opt-in uplift.

Methodology
Visual inspection of one four-frame public archive. The article illustrates the benefit explanation and system dialog; repeated and loading frames are not counted as distinct product decisions. The update date is page metadata, not a independently verified capture-session date.
