Revolut

Revolut is a British fintech super-app that consolidates banking, currency exchange, stock trading, and cryptocurrency access into a single mobile platform. As of December 2025, it serves as one of the largest mainstream on-ramps into the Solana ecosystem.

Founding and Scale. Founded in July 2015 by Nik Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko in London, Revolut started as a multi-currency prepaid card offering interbank exchange rates with no hidden markup. By late 2025, the company reported 68.3 million retail customers, revenue of 4.52 billion GBP, and net income of 1.3 billion GBP. An October 2025 fundraising round valued Revolut at 75 billion USD, making it the most valuable private company in Europe. The platform now reaches users in over 35 countries.

Products. Revolut operates as a mobile-first neobank without physical branches. Users access a multi-currency wallet supporting 30-plus currencies, Mastercard debit cards, real-time FX at interbank rates, US-listed equity and fractional share trading, personal loans, insurance, and buy-now-pay-later. Subscription tiers from Standard (free) to Metal unlock higher ATM limits, travel insurance, and lounge access. Revolut for Business extends these services to corporate clients with expense management and payment infrastructure.

Cryptocurrency. In September 2022, Revolut received authorization from the UK Financial Conduct Authority for cryptocurrency trading services. The platform supports over 100 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, with on-chain deposits and withdrawals for 30-plus assets on supported networks. Users can send crypto between Revolut accounts instantly at no added fee.

Solana Integration. On December 3, 2025, Revolut activated full Solana network support, the most significant expansion of its crypto capabilities to date. Before this, users could only trade SOL as a spot instrument with no on-chain access. The update enabled three capabilities: SOL, USDC, and USDT payments and transfers over Solana; SOL staking directly in-app without managing external wallets or private keys; and P2P transfers and withdrawals to external Solana addresses. With over 65 million users at the time of launch, Revolut became one of the largest fiat on-ramps to Solana by potential user count. Solana low-fee, sub-second settlement aligns with Revolut core mission of fast, cheap cross-border payments.

Stablecoins. In August 2026, Revolut launched EURR, a euro-pegged stablecoin backed by reserves managed by Bridge and compliant with EU MiCA regulation. EURR launched first in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal, with a broader European Economic Area rollout planned.

Regulation. Revolut received its full UK banking licence in March 2026. In September 2026, the US OCC granted conditional approval for Revolut Bank US, N.A., opening a path to FDIC-insured accounts and US crypto trading; final authorization requires FDIC insurance and Federal Reserve sign-off. In 2022, a cyberattack exposed data for approximately 50,000 users; Revolut disclosed the incident and reinforced its security infrastructure.

Team. CEO Nik Storonsky previously traded derivatives at Lehman Brothers and holds approximately 29 percent of the company, with a Forbes-estimated net worth of 18.8 billion USD as of 2026. CTO Vlad Yatsenko built trading infrastructure at UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Credit Suisse and holds approximately 3 percent, with a Forbes-estimated net worth of 2.2 billion USD. Revolut is headquartered in London with thousands of employees globally.
