Revolut has surpassed 20 million retail customers worldwide and is now processing over 250 million transactions a month. Both achievements come as Revolut celebrates its seventh anniversary.
The company is continuing to expand its global workforce, topping 5,000 employees globally. Over the past year, Revolut has opened several offices in locations such as New York, Tokyo, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Mexico City, Berlin, Budapest, and Bucharest. Additionally, new offices in Mumbai and Bangalore are set to open later this year.
In the past twelve months, Revolut has launched a variety of new features including On Demand Pay in the UK, personalised Loans in Ireland, and was named as one of TIME100’s Most Influential Companies. With services in 36 countries, the journey continues as Revolut looks to expand into new markets including India, Mexico, and Brazil.
Nikolay Storonsky, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Revolut reaching 20 million customers and 250 million transactions a month is another milestone we’re proud of. When we started Revolut seven years ago, we wanted to give people more control over their financial well-being through the use of our technology, offering a service that addresses all their financial needs in one place. We are still a young business, but our growth over the last few years shows the increasing demand for our products all over the world. As important as this milestone is, we are still at the start of our journey and intend to keep pushing the boundaries of financial innovation to build the world’s first global financial super-app. This is just the beginning…”
Helped by collaborations with influencers over the past year such as Liam Payne, Anthony Joshua, and Simon Wilson, Revolut’s total social media following has grown to over 1.4 million, and it has most recently launched a TikTok account.
