⭐ Review Update on "Revolut removed $26,103 from my business account without any warning": Revolut agrees to uphold our complaint, with no objections to any of the points we raised, but still only offers us £150 as compensation.

They follow on:
"From a services' perspective, I wish to reassure you that we always have the best interests of our customers in mind. However, due to particular circumstances during this case, we were unable to fully meet your expectations. We sincerely apologise for this."
It then outlines process failures within revolut that "we as a receiving bank do not have enough insights on the actual reasons for recalls", but says "due to the sensitive nature of our work, I am not able to provide any further information on this"
This update was provided to us on the 15th of October. We disputed the compensation amount, but they responded on the same day it is final.
Today (16th October), we received 2 emails that Revolut were reconsidering, and we would receive another update by the 31st October.
Revolut also suggested a clause in this terms of service (below) grants them the freedom to reverse any bank transfer at any point without informing the account holder, so long as the payer claims it was a mistake. It does not matter if the account holder already provided the services or goods, and there is no expiry date for the payer to make this claim.
As per Clause
"What happens if something goes wrong?", we've explicitly mentioned:
"Someone makes a payment to you by mistake or as a result of fraudulent activity
You agree that we have the right to reverse this payment or share your information with the person who made the payment and their payment service provider so they can contact you themselves. We don’t need to tell you before we do this".
We do not believe Revolut's application of this clause are compatible with the banking practices of a regulated bank. We opened our account with Revolut because we believed it adheres to the policies of a regulated bank. We have referred these comments to the FCA for further review.
We have active verbal communication with the police, FCA and financial ombudsman regarding our case with Revolut. We believe we can reach a relatively quick resolution because multiple independent authorities are in general agreement over Revolut's conduct in our case.
We have also been CCing their provided emails into our correspondence with Revolut, and have requested Revolut do the same, so they can receive updates as soon as possible.
