Revolut Launches Call Identification Anti-Scam Feature
Revolut on Jan. 13 announced a call identification feature in its finance app that detects when users are on calls, confirms whether the other party is a Revolut agent, and displays a banner indicating authenticity. The feature, live for iOS and optional on Android, lets users report non-Revolut callers and provides guidance amid rising AI deepfake threats. The move responds to impersonation fraud that cost Americans $2.95 billion in 2024, per the FTC.
