Revolut, a British global financial technology company, has surpassed 70 million customers worldwide, marking a significant milestone in its rapid growth trajectory.
The fintech firm reached this figure in early 2026, up from 50 million customers recorded in November 2024, highlighting a sharp acceleration in user adoption. The company added approximately 16 million new users in 2025 alone, reinforcing its momentum as it moves toward an ambitious target of 100 million customers by mid-2027.
Speaking on this milestone, Nik Storonsky, CEO and Co-Founder of Revolut reiterated the company’s long-term vision of becoming the world’s first truly global bank.

He said,
“Our mission has always been to simplify money for our customers, and our vision to become the world’s first truly global bank is the ultimate expression of that”.
According to Antoine Le Nel, Revolut’s Chief Growth and Marketing Officer, the company’s product-first approach has been central to its success. He emphasized that strong organic growth, driven largely by word-of-mouth, has played a key role, with satisfied customers acting as brand ambassadors.
Le Nel has consistently downplayed milestone figures, describing even 50 million and now 70 million customers as relatively small in the context of the global market. He noted that Revolut is still in the early stages of penetrating many European markets, while Europe itself represents only a fraction of the global population. This perspective underpins the company’s broader ambition to scale far beyond its current footprint.
Revolut has continued to strengthen its position as a leading global financial super app through significant growth and expansion. In 2024, the company surpassed 50 million customers worldwide, marking a major milestone in its rapid global adoption.
It also emerged as the most downloaded finance app in 19 countries, reflecting its growing popularity among users seeking digital banking solutions. During the same period, Revolut processed over $1 trillion in customer transactions, underscoring the scale of activity on its platform and its increasing relevance in the global financial ecosystem.
The momentum built on key developments from 2023, when Revolut expanded its international footprint by launching operations in Brazil and New Zealand. It also introduced local IBAN accounts in Spain and Ireland, enhancing its localized banking capabilities.
Additionally, the company rolled out “Ultra,” its premium subscription plan in the European Economic Area (EEA), targeting high-value users with advanced financial features. That year, Revolut was recognized as the most downloaded finance app in nine countries, further solidifying its competitive standing in the fintech space.
Revolut’s growth has been supported by strong financial performance, with the company reporting $6 billion in revenue for 2025 representing a 46% year-on-year increase, and $2.3 billion in profit before tax. Its valuation has also climbed to $75 billion.
The fintech’s expansion footprint now spans more than 40 countries, with ongoing efforts to scale operations to 100 markets globally. Key regions continue to drive growth, including the United Kingdom with 13 million customers, Spain with 6 million, and France with 5 million users.
Its customer growth has accelerated notably in recent years. While it took nearly four years to grow from 1.5 million users in 2018 to 15 million in 2021, Revolut added over 20 million customers in just over a year, from 50 million in late 2024 to more than 70 million by early 2026. This surge reflects increasing demand for digital-first financial services.
A core driver of Revolut’s growth is its incredible product strategy, which allows users to engage with individual features such as currency exchange, savings, or payments before gradually adopting a wider range of services. This approach contrasts with traditional banks that often aim to onboard customers into full-service relationships from the outset.
The strategy appears to be working. Customer balances on the platform reached $67.5 billion in 2025, a 66% increase year-on-year, indicating that users are not only joining the platform but also deepening their engagement over time.
Looking ahead, Revolut is focusing on expanding its credit offerings, including mortgages, credit cards, and overdraft services. The company is also prioritizing deeper localisation in different markets and continuing to build services beyond traditional banking.
