REVOLUT

Founded: 2015 Headquarters: London, England CEO: Nik Storonsky

While working as a derivatives trader, Nikolay Storonsky grew frustrated with expensive travel money exchange fees – an irritation that would ultimately transform European banking. Revolut began with a straightforward multicurrency card but now offers 50 million customers across 48 countries services ranging from commissionfree cryptocurrency trading to business banking. Aggressive expansion and rapid product development have established it as Europe’ s most valuable fintech, while its UK banking licence marked a transition from disruptive challenger to established financial institution.
