  1. [R2] Revolut 5/5 · US User friendly: I like using Revolut because it is so easy to use. I transfer dollars to euros for transactions in Europe. When I have questions chat and help are easy and quick.
  2. [R5] Revolut 5/5 · US Internationally Benefit: I am currently living in Germany from America. I downloaded this app and have been able to transfer in & send money easy. I use it for my daily purchases and it helps me exchange the US dollars to Euros with ease.
  3. [R30] Revolut 1/5 · US Revolut is a Joke, Wise was the Solution: Revolut managed to fail at every single method of transferring money I attempted, which is an impressive achievement for a company whose entire value proposition is moving money around. Debit card? Rejected. Cash deposit? The nearest location was literally in another country. Apple Pay? Don’t make me laugh. Their customer support response was a masterpiece
  4. [R46] Revolut 5/5 · US Me encanta: Es muy sencilla la app y funciona a la perfección, yo que suelo hacer pagos en EEUU las transferencias son súper rápidas y sencillas me encanta
  5. [R1] Revolut 2/5 · US Una aplicación sumamente innovadora sus políticas no me gustan: El banco me parece con políticas engañosas, sobre todo, porque me obliga a gastar para mantener las tazas 🤨 tuve que transferir mi dinero a otro banco y dejar en Revolut lo básico
  6. [R4] Revolut 1/5 · US pay to exit: they do not disclose when you first subcribe that there will be a fee charged if you ever want to unsubscribe. lack of transparency is not appreciated

  10. [R8] Revolut 1/5 · US Sooner or later they will ban you for no reason: I and everyone I know gets banned from this app at some point for no reason. Their algorithms are far too sensitive.
  11. [R12] Revolut 1/5 · US Doesn’t let you sign up: Even with my passport and clean photos, my account creation was blocked by their software. It doesn’t let you appeal this, so I can’t use Revolute. This is very disappointing.
  12. [R16] Revolut 1/5 · US Scam: After you give them a picture of your ID your social and take pictures and do a video of you moving your head side to side. They asked me what type card virtual or physical and then logged me out stating that it’s the wrong passcode. Then tell you you’re not approved thru email but don’t allow you back in to cancel and remove your personal information. No way to communicate from the US locat
  13. [R10] Revolut 1/5 · US I feel bad every time I open it: This app has a delay every single time I open it and see my account balance, and I hate it. I open the app, it shows me a $1,000 balance. I think to myself, “ok”. Then two seconds later the balance drops like an anchor and shows me whatever it actually is, typically a lot less than when I previously opened it. This is the *only* banking product I use that has this
  14. [R11] Revolut 5/5 · US Great app: 👍
  15. [R22] Revolut 1/5 · US They let your money get taken: Please don’t go to this back I was in a motorcycle accident n my phone was took they seen I was the hospital n I told them that was not me they did not care at all don’t go to this back better banks out there that take care they’re customers
  16. [R28] Revolut 1/5 · US Stay away they don’t help: I recently got my phone stolen and not only that but they had access to my eSIM I explained my situation to customer service over and over again and they just couldn’t do anything to help me recover my money even with proof very very disappointed
  17. [R17] Revolut 5/5 · US Great Banking Solution: We live in Portugal and went to Revolut as we were disappointed with service from Premier Millenium. Wish we did it earlier - so much easier, helpful and definate excellence in multi currency accounts. We also like things like eSim with Revolut - best decision in a long time!!
  18. [R40] Revolut 5/5 · US Best Banking: This app provides the best banking I’ve ever experienced in my life. I travel the world quite often, and this banking with Revolut has been a God Send.
  19. [R51] Revolut 5/5 · US Glad to have it: I love Revolut, the best card ever and great services, I have used this card around the world and always work, thank you
  20. [R67] WorldRemit 1/5 · US Very Troubling: A deeply flawed service that takes money out of your account, but it never reaches its destination, it then makes it nearly impossible to trace what happened to it as you try to navigate through non-existent customer care. Avoid at all costs and use Wise or other services!
  21. [R76] WorldRemit 1/5 · US Stole My Money, Worst Customer Service, Incompetent, Don't Trust: Do not use WorldRemit. They can't cancel my transaction. They can't pay my transaction. And the moron I was chatting with hung up on me and DEACTIVATED MY ACCOUNT. All they are capable of doing is giving out meaningless and insincere excuses and apologies. But they can't fix their broken system. You'd have better luck folding money
  22. [R90] WorldRemit 1/5 · US AI Customer Service 👎👎: I made the mistake of using this app to make a transfer to Ghana. They are holding my funds in limbo. The phone customer service is AI. The chat keeps disconnecting. Terrible customer service. If you are a first time user try a different service.
  23. [R92] WorldRemit 1/5 · US Customer Service is horrible: Getting through to a customer when you’re money is stuck is struggle. You could stay on for hours without nobody speaking to you. There’s this stupid automated services they used which doesn’t help anybody. I WONT ADVISE ANYONE TO USE THIS APP TO SEND MONEY BECAUSE THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THIS
  24. [R62] WorldRemit 5/5 · US Trusted: I trust Worldremit for 5 years now. I have not encountered any complicated issues so far.
  25. [R66] WorldRemit 3/5 · GB Transfers don’t show: Sometimes transfers I make don’t show on the app and they delay to be delivered
  26. [R81] WorldRemit 5/5 · US Delayed: No longer real time as before. Had 2 failed remittances
  27. [R93] WorldRemit 5/5 · US Quick and reliable: Quick reliable, and the best price when you wanna send a loved one money always the best price
