CEO Nik Storonsky Highlights Vision and Team Effort
Nik Storonsky, Revolut’s CEO and co-founder, emphasized the company’s rapid progress over the past year, stating, “This achievement underscores our commitment to creating the first truly global banking platform, aiming to serve 100 million customers across 100 countries.” He expressed gratitude to the dedicated team whose relentless drive and belief have been instrumental in transforming Revolut into a leading European tech-finance innovator.
Robust Financial Growth Fuels Expansion
Revolut’s soaring valuation is underpinned by exceptional financial results and dynamic business growth. In 2024, the company’s revenue surged by 72%, reaching $4 billion, while profit before tax soared by 149% to $1.4 billion. By 2025, Revolut’s retail customer base expanded beyond 65 million, and its business segment achieved an annualized revenue milestone of $1 billion.
Strategic Market Entry: Latin America and Africa
In 2025, Revolut secured its final banking license and launched operations in Mexico, marking a significant step into Latin America. Plans are underway to extend services to Colombia and India, with Africa identified as a key region for future growth. The company has already established a presence in Morocco and South Africa, positioning these markets as springboards for broader pan-African expansion.
Leadership Strengthens African Operations
To spearhead its African ambitions, Revolut appointed Yacine Faqir as CEO of its Moroccan division. Faqir, formerly an executive at Mastercard, joins forces with Amine Berrada, ex-Uber director and current head of Moroccan operations. Together, they are tasked with launching Revolut’s digital banking services across the continent, leveraging their extensive industry experience to drive growth and innovation.
Investor Confidence and Future Outlook
Victor Stinga, a senior executive at Revolut, remarked, “The strong investor enthusiasm and our elevated valuation reflect the effectiveness of our business model, which combines rapid expansion with robust profitability.” He added that the company is eager to collaborate with its new world-class investors as it embarks on the next chapter of its evolution, aiming to redefine global banking through technology and innovation.
