How can you recover your funds from Revolut?

What is Revolut bank fraud?

Scammers often impersonate Revolut to steal money or cryptocurrency. They may pose as customer support, tricking victims into sharing login details, or send fake emails mimicking Revolut’s branding. Once they have access, they can lock victims out, transfer funds, or pressure you into making fraudulent payments.

    Why do scammers use Revolut?

    Scammers want fast, easy access to money. Revolut processes transactions faster and with fewer checks than traditional banks. Scammers often exploit this, using pressure tactics to rush victims into sending money before they have time to think.

    How do scammers use Revolut to bypass security?

    E-money banks like Revolut process payments instantly, reducing the time you have to react. Traditional banks often introduce delays, alerting customers and providing a window to stop fraud. With Revolut, scammers ensure funds are transferred quickly with little oversight, making recovery more difficult.

Revolut Bank Fraud FAQs 

  • What is a sign that someone is posing as Revolut to scam customers? 

    A sign of a Revolut impersonation scam is being asked to pay unexpected fees. This can include management fees, tax payments, or “release funds” charges to unlock your money.  

    If someone claims you need to pay additional fees to access your funds, it’s likely a scam. Scammers usually use your initial investment for their transactions, often losing the money or simply trying to extract even more from you. 

    Scammers may also contact you via email or text, pretending to be from Revolut.  

    Watch out for these red flags: 

    • Requests for personal or financial information 
    • Claims that your account is at risk and urgent action is required 
    • Instructions to move your money to a different account for “security reasons” 

    If you receive a message like this, don’t respond or click any links. Instead, contact Revolut directly through the official app. 

  • Why are Revolut account holders also at risk of cryptocurrency scams?

    Many scams involving Revolut accounts are linked to cryptocurrency fraud. Since Revolut supports cryptocurrency transactions, scammers may exploit this feature to trick victims into transferring funds to fraudulent wallets. 

    It’s important to note that Revolut states on its website: 

    “When you use our crypto services, you will not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and if you have a complaint, then it is not likely to fall within the scope of the jurisdiction of the FOS.” 

    This means that if you fall victim to a scam, Revolut isn’t obligated to refund your lost funds. 

    Scammers often convince victims to send money to crypto wallets under false pretences. Once transferred, the funds are quickly moved out of reach. This is a common type of investment scam. Like other financial providers, Revolut should take measures to protect customers from fraudulent crypto transactions—but many victims find that they’re left without support. 

    If this has happened to you, WRS can help.  

  • I think I’ve been the victim of a Revolut bank impersonation scam, what do I do? 

    If you believe you’ve been scammed, act fast: 

    1. Stop all communication with the scammer immediately. 
    1. Contact Revolut as soon as possible, preferably via in-app chat, to report the fraud and attempt to stop the payment. 
    1. Report the scam to Action Fraud (UK’s fraud reporting service). 
    1. Seek expert assistance—Revolut is unlikely to refund your money, but WRS may be able to help you recover lost funds. 

     

  • Will Revolut ask for financial details over text or email?

    Whilst Revolut may send text messages or emails with updates, they will never contact you to ask for financial information, to make payments or to transfer money to a safe account. They will also never ask you to confirm any security information or to click on a link. So, if you ever receive a message containing any of the above, make sure that you get in touch with them through the app directly and report to them the fraudulent messages you’ve been receiving.

  • How can I protect my money?

    To keep your money safe, you should never share your financial details and, if you see any suspicious activity, you should freeze your card instantly. You can also use single-use virtual cards for payments and transactions, so the details can’t be reused. Also always ensure that you have two-factor authentication set up to ensure that all payments must be approved by you before going through.
