Revolut Revenue and Usage Statistics (2024)

David Curry

Updated: November 8, 2024

Like so many apps, Revolut was built with the intent purpose of fixing a personal issue. Nikolay Storonsky (co-founder and CEO) travelled a lot and was wasting hundreds of pounds on foreign transaction fees, which he understood as an employee at Credit Suisse to be ridiculously excessive.

After failing to find a bank that would cover multiple currencies, Storonsky and Vladyslav Yatsenko (co-founder and CTO) left their jobs at Credit Suisse to solve this issue. They started working on Revolut in Canary Wharf’s Level39 tech incubator, a hub for fintech startups.

Like Monzo and Starling, Revolut earns most of its revenue through a process called interchange, in which it takes 0.2 percent of each transaction fee. For the first few years, this did not translate to much, but as Revolut added more users the fees have started to add up.

In comparison to the two UK challenger banks, Revolut is far more Eurocentric. It works in all EU and European Economic Area countries. It also works with countries that have trade and data transfer agreements with the EU, such as Canada, Japan and Australia, and launched in the United States in 2020.

Revolut runs its banking system through Lithuania, which approved its European Banking license in 2018. The company had originally applied for a UK banking license, but due to a controversial report in 2019 that suggested Revolut disabled its sanctioned transactions system, the UK government postponed the application indefinitely.

Europe is not the end goal for Revolut however, Storonsky aims to be a “financial superapp” for the world, following in the footsteps of Alipay and WeChat Pay, which revolutionised banking in China.

Alongside the small commission it takes from debit-cards, it also offers two premium tiers. Premium offers unlimited foreign exchange, double free ATM withdrawals abroad and travel insurance. Metal has all premium features, plus one percent cashback with any currency (including crypto), quadruple free ATM withdrawals abroad, cashback and discounts.

Revolut launched a commission-free stocking trading app in the vein of Robinhood and a cryptocurrency trader in 2021. It also launched a Junior account, aimed at teaching 7 to 17 year olds about responsible spending and budgeting.
