The British fintech app Revolut, whose seventh anniversary is coming up soon, announced today that it has surpassed 20 million retail customers worldwide, processing more than 250 million transactions per month.
In the wake of this positive news, the company continues to hire and currently has more than 5,000 employees worldwide. Over the past year, Revolut has opened many offices to become increasingly global. New York, Tokyo, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Mexico City, Berlin, Budapest and Bucharest are just a few of these as it will soon also open in Mumbai and Bangalore.
Nikolay Storonsky, CEO of Revolut, commented on these milestones this way:
“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 superapp. This is just the beginning…”
