Anyone see the Brexit update within their app, I won't post all of it but it starts with

As a consequence of the UK leaving the EU, starting January 1st, 2021, Revolut Trading Ltd (RTL) is no longer able to passport its services across the EEA as an appointed representative of its UK principal firm. RTL is no longer authorised to advertise, promote or otherwise privide the trading services in your country under EU law. By checking the circle below you confirm that you wish to continue trading with RTL and that.....

Is this just an untargetted memo that should have been more specific to certain people? As we already moved to Lithuania and got the Welcome to Revolut Europe email I'm thinking this is the case.

That looks like the message I got as I was dabbling in shares.

Is there any idea on the timeline regarding their Irish/EU licence?
My account is restricted because my driving licence is no longer an acceptable form of ID due to Brexit.

This specifically applies to their share-trading service. Nothing else.

I've never traded in shares with them, I take it everyone regardless then gets the message?

Has anyone else had any trouble adding their LT iban to their credit union account? It keeps saying the BIC is invalid (it's not). I've emailed the CU, no word back yet.

Am still using GB IBAN in the hope I can switch straight to the IE one when they get their license.

Especially when you have to print and post forms in for some companies to do it

Thanks but they're not actually outgoing transactions they're incoming which my bank insist were sent to Revolut but don't appear on my Revolut transactions list. All the numbers are the same as previous Revolut transactions just the amounts don't appear.

Did you update to the new LT IBAN as the accounts have moved to LT as a result of Brexit, the old GB IBANs no longer work

Yes, the latest version of the app includes that.

Looks like Revolut is planning to roll out a new subscription option with a few added benefits (Revolut Plus), separate from Premium and Metal. The UK version is available at £2.99 so I'd imagine it will be €3.49/€3.99 in Ireland when it launches next week. Not sure if the benefits will be worth the price.

They have to keep the investors happy somehow.

GB IBAN does still work, they said it will for 6 months.

Is your account dependent on having a direct debit? They used to give a discount for direct debit but when they stopped doing that I removed it. Paid by card on their website instead

I think I will go that route as they do give you two weeks or so notice to go online and pay it

Shame cant have it setup to just take money from the card , sky do that

That would appear to be a limitation with VM & EI processing software. The LT IBAN provided by Revolut is valid. Submit the LT IBAN to VM & EI on a paper DD mandate form.

Providers usually require written instructions for non Irish bank account.

Virgin media has a form you can download.

Hi,

Had a really strange message on my revolut app the other day when I logged in. See attached, they were asking was I related to some other person? They also addressed me by the wrong name! Not sure if this is some sort of scam or not, I hope not as it was from inside my revolut account!

I chatted further with them and they claimed it was for their Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations. I refused to give any info as it seems very obtrusive and odd!

In the end they provided some dodgy looking link to fill in some SurveyMonkey form to take the complaint further.

Has anyone else seen or received similar on Revolut recently?

Thanks

That sounds like they are doing checks for a politically exposed person. But in a less than perfect manner.

How would you know which Robert b Nolan though ? There could be hundreds of them.Bit stupid asking a Question like that with out giving you more info. You could say yes & not be the right fellow at all & then they say but u said you know him.

maximoose

Friend had the same thing on Saturday, no functions in the app would work for her and a message saying she needed to chat to support. After about 12 hours, support finally responded and asked her if she was related to some random dude with the same surname.

Strange KYC procedure.

I know, that's what I thought! And they just kept repeating the question while apologising for the inconvenience. It was weird! I didn't give any info to them anyway, but don't think they have restricted my account as I've used it since!
