How can i make a formal complaint / sue your payment processor
Im trying to make a transfer from revolut to a UK bank account.
Your processor queried this payment (why?) And then asked for some very intrusive information to which they are not entitled and to which i have no intention of giving them
Since then - a week ago - my money has been sitting in limbo and revoluts help team say they are powerless to act
And revolut considers this acceptable??
Im about to start sueing everyone in sight
What sort of information could they possibly ask that would be so intrusive that someone would refuse to give it? I’m intrigued.
Amongst other things the date of birth of the person im sending the money to (do you know many of your vendors birthdays - say one of your builders for example)
And why i was sending them the money (absolutely none of their business)
DOB is plainly stupid. Where you got the money from originally and why you are sending to someone else, in my experience, are quite normal questions particularly when it is an unusual amount.
If i send money into Revolut from a bank account in an acceprable country (Switzerland as opposed to say Venezuela) and revolut accepts that money, and im sending some (a relatively small amount frankly) to a standard UK bank account, i juat dont see why their payment processor wants any information
As to having to tell people why im sending money i think thats equally unacceptable.
My bank doesnt ask me that, and if i was sending it to terrorists/drug-dealers/people-traffickers im hardly likely to say…
I regularly send payments through Revolut to third parties. With never any problem. Never been asked these questions either.
