Revolut receives UK banking licence

Revolut, the global fintech with over nine million UK customers and 45 million globally, has announced today that it has received its UK banking licence with restrictions from the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), the regulator responsible for overseeing the UK banking sector.  

Revolut now enters the ‘mobilisation’ stage, sometimes referred to as ‘Authorisation with Restrictions’, a common step for many new banks in the UK.

Nothing changes for UK customers during this restricted period, which is to allow new banks like Revolut to complete the build out of their UK banking operations ahead of launching in the market. Until then, UK customers can continue to use their Revolut e-money account as they always have.

Nik Storonsky, CEO of Revolut

We are incredibly proud to reach this important milestone in the journey of the company and we will ensure we deliver on making Revolut the bank of choice for UK customers.

Francesca Carlesi, UK CEO of Revolut

Today’s announcement is a significant step forward for Revolut and for our customers. It is a tremendous responsibility to be a bank in the UK and we will work relentlessly to offer products and services that improve the financial lives of everyone who uses Revolut. This is the next phase in Revolut’s journey in the UK - we can’t wait to get going.

Revolut recently published its financial accounts for 2023, announcing that Group revenues surpassed $2.2bn, with record profits before tax of $545m.
