You are not being singled out. Revolut’s own regulator says the bank files more suspicious-activity reports than every other bank in its home market combined, which means your freeze is most likely a symptom of scale, not something you did.<\/p>

If you have just opened your Revolut app to find your account frozen and your balance locked, take a breath. You have almost certainly done nothing wrong, and in most cases the money is still there. But you do need to act in the right order, because the things that feel most urgent (calling support, raging in the chat) are usually the things that change nothing.<\/p>

This is a compliance review, not a punishment, and it usually resolves: clear every document request in the app first, since Revolut aims to lift a restriction within about 3 hours once your information is complete, then move to a formal written complaint if it drags past that. Most freezes clear within days to a few weeks; a smaller number stretch to months. Your money is very likely still safe, whether it is FSCS-protected, EEA-protected or safeguarded depends on which Revolut entity holds your account, covered below.<\/strong><\/p>
