REVOLUT
Founded: 2015 Headquarters: London, England CEO: Nik Storonsky
Storonsky’ s frustration with travel money exchange fees whilst working as a derivatives trader sparked an idea that would reshape European banking. Starting with a simple multi-currency card, Revolut now serves 50 million customers across 48 countries with everything from commission-free crypto trading to business banking. The company’ s rapid-fire product development and aggressive expansion have made it Europe’ s most valuable fintech at US $ 45bn. Recent UK banking licence acquisition marks its evolution from disruptive startup to legitimate financial institution. With £ 1.8bn( US $ 2.46bn) annual revenue and relentless innovation, Revolut continues expanding globally whilst maintaining its reputation for speed and customer-focused features.
