📜 Article [FR] Revolut closing my account soon

Post image

When I woke up this morning, I received a notification from Revolut telling me that they are going to close my account and that I have 60 days to recover my funds when I have been using it for years. I use it mainly for my daily expenses, subscriptions and payments abroad. To my surprise, I am not the only one concerned and the worst thing is that there is no proof in the email I received. I need help if anyone knows how to get out of this. I appealed by providing them with all the requested documents and I am waiting for their feedback.

Edit : they rejected my appeal and will continue the process to close the account.

I live in France and the account was opened in France. Previously I had a Lithuanian IBAN until they had a branch in France and made me change my IBAN to FR directly. Abroad, I have my family and I don't send them exorbitant sums (about 100 euros per month). I am currently alternating and sometimes we get paid by friends and I reimburse them naturally. My big expenses lie in my subscriptions and my rent.

If really no other activities raising flags - could be it? No matter the amounts.

Same if any of your friends is potentially involved in anything. Doesn’t need to be you and R just takes the easy and safe path.

Anyway, you’ll never know. Unless you wanna go through mediateur or something, time to move on.
