Not quite sure where this fits into consumer rights. More of a rant.

Problem solved by not using a prepaid card 

I thought that this was the most appropriate category.
You say "Problem solved by not using a prepaid card" but not everybody has one of those and who's to say that this might not happen with other cards too, e.g. Credit Cards? I'm just trying to make people aware of the potential risk ...

Well never known it happen to a proper UK bank or credit card in over 40 years I've held any card. Or heard any customer complain about it in too many years working in banking.

I fear the issue is with Revolut, and how their card is read by the ATM. 
But again never seen this type of complaint here. Which one would expect given the number who use them.
