I was sent two transfers from a Revolut user on 11/18/24. I received one for $500 but did not receive the other one for $720. I have been reaching out to Revolut but they are refusing to help me track down the money. They told me to call my bank which I did but my bank was unable to help me because the money was not received. I provided Revolut with the email that I received regarding the transfer and how I would receive it on 11/19 but that I never did. They told me that I need to reach out to the sender which I did. The sender reached out and Revolut told her that I received the $720 and not the $500 which is not correct. I have proof. When she asked them to investigate they stopped responding. I just want someone to find my money. Revolut is refusing to help and I dont know what else to do. I am extremely frustrated.Business response

To whom it may concern,
Please consider this letter as Revolut Technologies Inc.s (Revolut) response to ******* ******** complaint received by Revolut on December 12, 2024
******* *******, who is not a Revolut customer, filed a complaint related to a missing transfer. The complaint indicates two transfers were sent from a Revolut customer to *** ******** external account. *** ******* indicates they only received one of the two transfers.
Discussion
*** ******* stated they were meant to receive two transfers from a Revolut customer, a transfer in the amount of $500 and another transfer in the amount of $720 on November 18, 2024. *** ******* stated they received the $500 transfer but has been unsuccessful locating the $720 transfer. *** ******* did not provide any additional details regarding the transfers which would facilitate further investigation.
.
Conclusion
Upon receipt of the complaint, Revolut opened an investigation but was unsuccessful. *** ******* did not provide any details that would allow us to identify the specific transfer and *** ******* is not a Revolut customer, therefore we are unable to investigate the complaint further.
In order to facilitate further investigation we require transfer details from the Revolut customer who initiated the transfers. If the transfer is still outstanding Revolut asks that the customer who initiated the transfer reach out to Revolut via the in-app chat to provide additional information.
Revolut apologizes for *** ******** frustration. No further action is required in regards to this case.
Sincerely,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:[Your Answer Here]
Good morning,
I have tried multiple times to resolve this but Revolut refuses to speak with me which is absurd. I even emailed them proof but they said that they cannot help me because I am not a customer. Their resolution was to go through the person that sent the transfer or to call my bank. I have done both. My bank (*****) is unable to help me because the funds were never received. They told me to tell Revolut to contact them and file a claim to track down the money. I relayed this info to Revolut and they told me to contact my bank again and that they cannot help me. To my knowledge a claim with ***** has still not been filed.
I also reached out to the sender and provided the documented proof to her. She filed a claim and Revolut has not been assisting her to resolve the matter. Revolut told her that I received the $720 transaction but not the $500 one. I sent proof to her and to Revolut that this is incorrect. She has not heard back from them since then. They have gone silent but yet they had the time to type a full response to my complaint.After reaching out to Revolut several times and them refusing to look into the matter, they told me to contact the authorities. What kind of resolution is that? I seem to be the only one trying to resolve this matter but I am being left out of it and I feel helpless. No one will tell me anything. There is no follow up. There is no update on the process. The process is asinine. All I want is the money that I was supposed to be receive.
I wish that Revolut would use the same energy that they used to dispute this complaint to actually take action and resolve this issue. I have tried everything they suggested and the issue has not been resolved because I still do not have my money. I am not satisfied with the business practices of this company and based on the reviews for this company it seems to be unanimous across the board for others as well. As a consumer I have a right to be heard and addressed and not brushed off. If I had a choice, I would not have used this company.
I am kindly asking that someone look into this matter and take action in resolving it swiftly. Also, I would like updates so I can know that this matter is in the process of actually being resolved instead of being brushed under the rug. Please let me know if I need to resend any documentation.
Thanks in advance.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:[Your Answer Here]
And once again I am being dismissed. This company is a complete scam. I see why there are multiple complaints against them and why their BBB rating is an F.
I have relayed to them multiple times that my bank is not able to assist me because I never received the money. My bank is unable to trace money that was not received. I spoke with my bank and they said that Revolut needs to track the money on their end and file a claim with ****** which Revolut seems to have no interest in doing.
i have tried every remedy that they have suggested. I have contacted my bank. I have reached out to the sender who reached out to Revolut. I have emailed them documents to prove that I did not receive the money. They have yet to investigate this on their end despite the sender reaching out to them. They keep dismissing it. No one will track down my money. At this point my money has been stolen and I need help rectifying this situation.
BBBthis is not being handled to my satisfaction. This company has not looked into my case at all despite me and the sender supplying proof. Their business practices are horrible. This is theft.
Can someone please assist me?

To whom it may concern,
Please consider this letter as Revolut Technologies Inc.s (Revolut) response to *** ******* (the Customer) complaint received by ********************** on December 10, 2024.
In the complaint the Customer questioned being charged a chargeback for a previous payment applied to their Revolut Prepaid Card (Revolut Card) account and also requested access to their temporarily restricted account while the account was under review.
Discussion
On December 7, 2024 the Customer received an inbound transfer:
Transfer I Completed 2024-12-07 13:53:51 ***** GBP
On December 9, 2024, the Customer was contacted regarding the inbound transfer and asked to provide additional details. This is a standard security check that Revolut performs in accordance with internal policies and procedures. The Customer provided additional information, as requested. However, after the additional details were provided it was determined the account required further review, at which time the account was temporarily restricted and the Customer was notified via email.
On December 11, 2024 the Customer was sent an email stating that after the review was completed, it was determined that the Customers account would be closed .
Conclusion
In response to this complaint, a review of the Customers account was conducted.
********************** records indicate that the Customers ********************** Card was closed in accordance with internal policies and procedures. Consequently, we believe that no further action is required.
While we appreciate the Customers situation and understand that this is not the desired outcome, Revolut is obliged to follow legal regulations to conduct the due diligence checks that may result with the account of a customer being restricted or terminated.
For further information regarding when Revolut may close customers accounts, the Customer may review the ********************** ************ and Prepaid Mastercard Cardholder Agreement which may be located at
********************************************************************
and Revoluts Personal Terms which may be located at

We trust this letter explains and resolves this matter.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:They have not even answered why just using red tape which is a complete lie. They have no right to terminate my account for a false claim from some ************** a****** I have never had contact with. I accepted a payment for a friend and Revolut says thats a terms of service violation which is nothing but a lie. They refuse to show any proof where I am guilty of any wrong doing. Hiding behind a simple state of our investigation but not showing the investigation! This should not be allowed and I am positive they are breaking multiple laws with this tactic!

Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Revolut for what I believe to be false advertising regarding their savings account interest rates.For the past two years, Revolut has consistently promoted high interest rates on their savings accounts. However, I have not received the promised interest despite multiple inquiries and complaints to their customer service. Each time, I was informed that a "technical issue" was responsible for the discrepancies.This ongoing situation has not only caused me frustration but also undermines my trust in their services. I believe consumers deserve transparency and accountability, especially regarding financial products.I would appreciate your assistance in addressing this matter.Thank you for your attention.Business response

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Revolut regarding its handling of fraudulent transactions on my account. On September 1, 2024 I reported one unauthorized transaction totaling $1,014.06 USD on my business bank account. The transaction was as follows:1. August 31, 2024 Clip Mx*tiendadeabar $1,014.06 USD.Despite my prompt report of these fraudulent charges when the charge was still pending, Revolut's Chargeback and Escalations teams failed to return the funds, claiming that the investigation has been closed without providing detailed reasons or findings. I did not authorize this charge, and they occurred without my knowledge. In fact, I have never set foot in the city that the merchant is from. Revolut's internal investigation process has been unclear, and their refusal to return my funds is unacceptable. You can see from the document attached the scammer charged my card every minute in multiple amounts. I have already provided Revolut with all the necessary details regarding the fraud, yet they have not taken adequate steps to assist me in recovering my money. Resolution Desired:I request that Revolut: Refund the full amount of $1,014.06 USD for the fraudulent transaction; Provide a clearer explanation of the investigation process and why they decided not to return my funds; Insure that they are investigating this merchant as I am surely not the only person this has happened to. I suspect my card was skimmed at a hotel in ******; Improve communication and customer service for future fraud cases, as the current process is highly unsatisfactory.I would appreciate the BBBs assistance in resolving this matter and getting my funds returned.Thank you for your time and assistance.******** ******Business response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:t the business did not adequately resolve my issue. They have declined my request for further action and investigation into the fraudulent transaction that I reported. They have not returned my funds.
One of the primary purposes of a bank is to safeguard money. If they can't uphold themselves as a secure platform to store a customer's money and protect customers when it is stolen, then they have failed in their obligations as a financial institution.

My Revolut Business account was closed without any prior notice or valid reason provided. I have been a responsible account holder and complied with all the terms and conditions. The sudden closure has caused significant disruption to my business operations. Although I was able to withdraw my funds, I have been unable to conduct essential transactions or receive a clear explanation for the closure. Despite multiple attempts to contact Revolut for an explanation or resolution, I have not received any satisfactory response. I am seeking assistance in understanding the reason for the closure and ensuring it does not negatively impact my business.Customer response

After filing a chargeback against an ATM in which I received no money, revolut decided to simply close my account. WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION. This is a clear violation of US laws. Any financial institution must provide a detailed explanation for any decision they make on an individuals account. I believe that revolut is partaking in illegal and fraudulent activities.I want my account restored. Trust has been broken with this company.
