My experience with Revolut has been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. What began as a simple transfer of £285,000 to purchase a property quickly devolved into a financial nightmare, leaving me out of pocket, potentially without a home, and facing a mountain of legal and logistical expenses.
The crux of the issue lies with Revolut's automated transfer system, which inexplicably decided to use a SWIFT code that I never provided. This error resulted in the complete disappearance of my funds into the ether. To compound this monumental blunder, Revolut's customer service proved utterly useless. Despite spending an entire day pleading for a solution, I was met with nothing but platitudes and a timeframe of 15-20 business days for the return of my money – a timeframe that rendered the completion of my property purchase impossible.
The consequences of Revolut's incompetence have been devastating. I will potentially lose my housing deposit, incurr exorbitant legal fees for both myself and the seller, and be liable for a month's worth of interest on the seller's mortgage. The domino effect of this catastrophe extended to the cancellation and rescheduling of eight separate deliveries and a moving van, each incurring additional costs.
Adding insult to injury, Revolut's customer service infrastructure is woefully inadequate. There is no phone number to call, leaving you at the mercy of an in-app chat function manned by unhelpful agents. Their complaints procedure is equally sluggish, taking a full week for a response – a delay that rendered it utterly pointless in my situation.
In summary, Revolut's automated systems are unreliable, their customer service is non-existent, and their complaints procedure is glacially slow. This combination of factors makes them a wholly unsuitable choice for any significant financial transaction. My experience serves as a stark warning to anyone considering using Revolut for anything other than trivial sums.
