Company profile
researched Aug 2026Revolut Group Holdings Ltd is a British financial technology company headquartered in London, England, founded in July 2015 by Nik Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko. It provides free and subscription-based digital banking services delivered primarily through a mobile app, including current accounts, debit cards, stock trading, personal loans, foreign exchange, insurance, buy-now-pay-later and business accounts, alongside peer-to-peer payments and currency exchange services.
The product started as a card and app allowing UK and European Economic Area users to spend abroad at interbank foreign exchange rates, initially supporting spending in 90 currencies. A subscription-based business product, Revolut Business, launched in June 2017, giving companies in the UK and Europe multi-currency IBAN accounts able to hold, exchange and transfer money in 25 currencies. The service range later widened to include multicurrency accounts, cryptocurrency exchange and staking, peer-to-peer payments, travel and medical insurance, international transfers, savings vaults and interest on balances. In 2022 the UK Financial Conduct Authority added Revolut to its register of firms authorised to offer cryptocurrency products; in 2023 the company halted crypto trading for US customers, citing the evolving regulatory environment.
Revolut operates across the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Switzerland, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, the United States, Brazil and India. Governance includes Martin Gilbert as chairman, Nik Storonsky as CEO, Donato Lucia as CTO, Victor Stinga as CFO and co-founder Vlad Yatsenko as a non-executive director.
