Revolut ‘thoroughly’ probing fiasco that involved former UK head accidentally messaging customer to say he would be waiting for him ‘with my shotgun’
Revolut said it was ‘thoroughly’ probing a fiasco that involved its former UK head accidentally messaging a customer to say he would be waiting for him ‘in the garden with my shotgun’.
James Radford, who left the UK’s most valuable fintech firm for unrelated reasons last month, inadvertently sent the message after receiving several complaints to his personal mobile.
The irate customer sent a slew of text messages and voicemails to Radford, after their Revolut Business account was frozen, the Telegraph first reported.

A Revolut spokesperson said: ‘We take allegations seriously and are investigating thoroughly.’
