Yesterday, an EU employee of a US company successfully transferred $240,000 to Revolut, sparking discussions among people worried about potential delays and restrictions on large transactions. They noted that despite many negative reports, their funds cleared within two hours.
The user liquidated their Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to diversify their investments and opted for Revolut due to low fees. Many forum comments reflect a common fear regarding large transfers being blocked, yet this user had a different experience. "I was afraid my money would get blocked, but it worked flawlessly," they reported.
People on various forums have responded positively to the success story:
One commented, "25β¬ fees for a 240k transfer, what a steal!"
Another shared, "Iβve transferred around $50K a couple of times without issues."
Moreover, others noted that good experiences often go unnoticed in online discussions, where horror stories prevail. "This sub tends to attract the bad experiences rather than the good ones," remarked a user, adding depth to the conversation.
Interestingly, many shared similar success stories, indicating that large sums from legitimate sources donβt typically raise red flags. They suggested compliance with local regulations is key.
"KYC traceable sources are never an issue," asserted a regular user, emphasizing users' diligence in following the rules.

Despite the cautious tales shared in forums, this positive experience encourages others to consider Revolut for larger transfers. It seems the worries might not always match the reality, at least in this userβs case. Are financial apps slowly earning the trust of people with their significant transactions?
Thereβs a strong chance that more individuals will embrace digital banking platforms like Revolut for significant transactions, especially as success stories accumulate. With a growing number of people sharing positive experiences and the underlying technology becoming more robust, the likelihood of others feeling confident enough to undertake high-value transfers remains high, estimated at about 60% among those currently hesitant. As regulatory frameworks evolve to accommodate the increasing demand for such services, financial apps might bolster their credibility, leading to a more dependable landscape for larger transactions.
In the early 2000s, the rise of online retail brought forth a wave of skepticism. Many people hesitated to share personal information or make substantial purchases on unfamiliar websites. However, as reliable platforms like Amazon and eBay emerged and demonstrated their security, consumer trust blossomed. Similarly, the current wave of digital transactions could undergo a similar transformation. Just like e-commerce transformed retail by proving its legitimacy over time, these new financial services might gain the same level of acceptance and reliability, changing the way people approach their finances.
