CEO Nik Storonsky, in a Bloomberg Television Peer-to-Peer Conversations appearance referenced in a LinkedIn post, said Revolut plans to invest more than $500 million in the U.S. over the coming years. The firm is also actively pursuing a U.S. national bank charter, signaling a deeper push into a highly regulated and competitive banking market.
Revolut is embedding artificial intelligence across its platform, spanning onboarding, fraud prevention, customer support, and personalized financial insights. This AI-driven approach aims to enhance efficiency, risk management, and user experience, potentially strengthening the company’s competitive positioning versus incumbent banks and digital challengers.
Financial performance remains a key underpinning of Revolut’s ambitions, with 2025 revenue reaching $6 billion, up from $4 billion in 2024. Net profit rose to $1.7 billion from $1 billion year over year, while the retail customer base expanded to 68.3 million.
The company has secured a full banking license in the United Kingdom and already holds one in the European Union, supporting its transition from fintech app to fully regulated bank in major markets. International expansion is accelerating across the U.S., India, Mexico, and multiple Asia-Pacific and Latin American countries.
Revolut is preparing for a potential IPO with internal valuation targets reportedly in the $150 billion to $200 billion range, more than double its $75 billion valuation from a 2025 secondary sale. Another secondary share sale planned for the second half of 2026 could push its valuation beyond $100 billion, although any listing is seen as at least two years away.
These developments suggest Revolut is entering a new scale phase, balancing heavy U.S. investment and regulatory engagement with strong profitability and AI-led product innovation. Overall, the week underscored the company’s evolution toward becoming one of the most valuable and broadly licensed global fintech banks ahead of a future public-market debut.
