How important is it to invest in UK businesses to ensure that customers can get access to financial services?

Alex: UK businesses are a key focus for us and we recognise they need financial tools that can keep pace with their ambitions. At Revolut Business, our role is to accelerate that speed of ambition by providing a single, integrated platform that removes friction from payments, spend management and global operations, while bringing acquiring and business banking into one ecosystem.
This gives businesses the confidence to move faster and dream bigger. A startup can scale internationally without being held back by fragmented systems, while more established companies can modernise and streamline how they manage money.
Ultimately, investing in UK businesses is about creating an environment where financial services go beyond simply helping a business get started. It is about supporting growth at every stage, enabling expansion and helping businesses evolve over time. Our focus is not just to serve businesses at a point in time, but to grow with them and support their ambition as it accelerates.
Guy: Access to financial services isn’ t primarily a question of investment, it’ s a question of how deeply providers are embedded in the markets they serve.
The UK is one of the most developed fintech ecosystems globally, but even in mature markets, access is shaped by how payments infrastructure is built and operated locally. Businesses don’ t struggle because products don’ t exist, they struggle when those products aren’ t aligned to how transactions actually behave in that market.
The distinction is between serving a market and building inside it.
When infrastructure sits at a distance, performance suffers and access becomes inconsistent. When it’ s embedded locally, access improves as a byproduct of better execution at the transaction level.
