Called the best banking product they have used, with plentiful cards, automations, insurance and travel perks plus an intuitive app. Trust is the sticking point, because of the many blocked-account stories they keep reading.

A full-day outage in October locked up all funds, and the app has a habit of freezing accounts over transactions it wrongly flags as suspicious. The poster still stays because no other bank matches the automations that sort their money into pockets for bills and groceries.

Used it to send money to my mom once a month. On a weekday the rate was good, and the app shows the fee and exactly what she gets before you hit send. I found out the hard way that exchanging on the weekend adds a markup on the free plan, so after that I only sent Monday to Friday. Then in month eight a transfer got held and my account was restricted for a review. I uploaded my ID and pay stubs twice. The chat kept handing me to the bot, and when I finally got a person they just said my case was with the team. Eleven days without access to my own money, then it was unlocked with no explanation. The monthly transfer goes through Wise now. I only keep a little in Revolut for when I travel.
