How Revolut files CIFAS markers for vehicle selling activity
Our client was a student who bought and sold vehicles as a side income. The payments received through their Revolut account — large sums from buyers, deposits, and part-exchanges — triggered Revolut's fraud detection systems. Revolut closed the account and filed a Misuse of Facility marker. The client was conducting legitimate vehicle sales but the transaction pattern mimicked suspicious activity to automated systems.
