Effective, though the charges for online transfers is too much. Online transfers shouldn't cost that much especially when you are paying a smaller figures into the account via online...like transferring to your other account. And I wonder how both paying into the account the account should be charged as well. It is understandable if you are paying in big amount of money. Why charge a pound when someone is transferring as little as £20, £50?

I have installed the app 7 weeks ago and did all the verifications and it is still waiting for the outcome of the verification. Pure comedy. They don't even respond to emails ! Imagine if you would have problems with transactions or disputes, it would take them a year! Basically if they are not capable of verification then imagine something else. Uninstaling. Revolut is light years ahead!

Zero customer service. Their in-app chat has been "down" for years, they do not respond to emails and there is no way to speak to someone on their customer service phone number. Their automated services do not cover all issues and without someone to speak to you have even the simplest problems never fixed. No effort whatsoever from anyone, it's almost like they've given up and ready to let the business die.
