A growing number of people are frustrated with Revolut's customer support, citing difficulties in getting a human response after a recent international transfer delay. Users report receiving only automated replies, sparking conversation about the effectiveness of the platform's support system.
The Frustration Grows
On April 12, a user made an international transfer from a UK Revolut card, and it still hasn’t reached the recipient. This is not the first time such a situation has occurred; previous transfers went smoothly. The only replies received were machine-generated, leaving the user feeling stuck.
"Some of them deny being bots but they all give identical replies."
Many individuals echo similar experiences, noting that upon requesting assistance, they encounter repetitive responses from chatbots, which heightens their frustration.
Suggested Solutions from the Community
Commenters on various user boards have shared different tactics to reach a human agent:
Live Agent Prompt: One commenter suggested starting the chat with "Live Agent."
Escalation Requests: Others advised asking for an escalation, especially if there’s a valid reason for the urgency.
Country Specifications: Queries about the specific route of the transfer can sometimes redirect to a real person.
Not everyone feels helpless; some express confidence that they can navigate the issues, while others outright slam the service for perceived incompetence.
Competition on the Rise
Interestingly, the dialogue also touches on alternative services. Some users claim that Revolut is losing ground against competitors who offer more reliable customer support. One comment vividly points out, "You’re not missing out on anything except their competition who doesn’t scam you out of your money."
