Revolut Adds Call Identification Feature to Combat Impersonation Scams

Revolut has launched a call identification feature that alerts users when they are on a phone call with the app, indicating whether the caller is a legitimate Revolut agent. The tool displays a banner in real time, offering guidance to report fraud if the call is suspicious. It is currently active for iOS users and optional for Android, targeting the surge in AI‑generated deep‑fake voice scams. The move follows FTC data showing impersonation fraud cost U.S. consumers $2.95 billion in 2024 and recent complaints about push‑payment fraud at Revolut.
