I read some troubling reviews from Trustpilot where people got their funds locked and some of them haven't received even after 6 months.. They do not seem to approve documents either.

This bit worrying as opening an account with them is super easy but at certain point they will request docs from you... they are regulated by EU so I don't remember exactly the amount that is allowed to go through your online banking accounts before they start investigating and ask docs.

Thoughts?

No, although I never store too much money there.
 
Watch out to anyone going to use Revolut, I had the most insane ordeal midway through the worst of the pandemic from about Feb to Aug.

They closed my account even though I sent through a tonne of documents they asked for. They have stolen about $180 from me which was refunded to my card after the account was closed and now they've told me they can't find those funds. They don't give a shit and are incompetent children trying to pretend to be a bank.

Use Transferwise, they are absolutely great. Revolut looks nice, but when it comes to the crunch they are run by idiots.

180 $ is not that bad unless you don't need to eat for it then its fucked, there are people who got locked for 100k and still are locked.

Don't know anything about Transferwise, do they offer cards + banking as Revolut does? I am out of options really and forced to use Revolut.

Cheers.

Been there, done that, locked with them 7000£ - they released it bit by bit and never got it all after almost 2 yrs - Metal PLAN paid upfront 1yr.
After that thing with the Personal, I said, why not to have a business account with them ... let's see if it gets better: they closed my business account without reason but they offered me the 21 days to clear all the funds.

Transferwise doesn't offer you the VCC that you probably want it for, but they are reliable, and until now I didn't had any problem at all with them.

What was the source of your funds? Did your money come from PayPal? As I understand their biggest concern is not where the money goes but rather where it comes. All my funds are coming from PayPal or Stripe so I just hope that they see it as a reliable source and will not bother the very original source..but I guess I shouldn't hold my breath.

I use Metal with regular + business app with Stripe and thought to invest the cash I have sitting there to Tesla as you can buy stock directly through the Revolut app now but I obviously will not do this anymore.

Revolut will just close your account on the drop of a hat, they're cunts seriously. I wouldn't use them again if they were going to give me that service for free. $180 isn't the end of the world but it's my $180. If they closed my account with $100k of my money I'd go to their head office with {obfuscated for self-preservation reasons}.

Transferwise are a very professional provider, just use them if their services will suffice.
 
Facts. A friend of mine closed his account after he received money in exchange for e-services ($200+) and wasn’t able to withdraw it. In the end, they wanted him to provide the customer’s CC that he used in order to make the purchase which is fucking unrealistic.

Personally, opened Revolut Metal (Black Card) deal and signed with them for a year which ended up in me shutting that shit closed and changing the connected CC from another bank to avoid their subscription bills. Their service was shit two years ago, don’t know about now. Customer support trash as fuck.
