Idle cash erodes 2.7% annual purchasing power per 10k euros, Revolut says

Revolut highlights that uninvested cash loses 270 euros per 10,000 euros annually due to inflation, underscoring the opportunity cost of holding idle balances. The figure implies a ~2.7% annual inflation drag, consistent with current euro-area inflation trends. This is a promotional data point from a fintech firm, not a new economic indicator, but it reinforces the case for cash deployment into yield-bearing assets.
