Currently valued at £ 4.2bn ($ 5.51bn ) following the completion of its $ 500m Series D funding round in late July 2020 , Revolut is the UK ’ s most valuable FinTech startup and one of the leading digital banks globally . Founded only five years ago , the company has managed to capture the imagination of the industry and users alike . Upon being informed that making multi-currency cards work wouldn ’ t be possible , CEO Nikolay Storonsky founded the company with CTO Vladyslav Yatsenko to prove the industry wrong . Remarkably , Revolut attained ‘ unicorn ’ status ( a valuation in excess of $ 1b ) just three years later in early 2018 . OCTOBER 2020
