Based on Jinse, Revolut, a UK-based fintech company founded in 2015 by Nikolay Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko, has grown into a global financial super app with over 65 million users and a valuation of 33 billion RMB. The company offers services including cryptocurrency trading, stock investment, and cross-border payments. In 2024, it launched Revolut Invest with 8.5 billion euros in assets under management and obtained a restricted UK banking license. Revolut's business model is built on a three-tier structure: free banking services as an entry point, tiered subscription models for monetization, and an expanding ecosystem of financial and lifestyle services. Its diverse revenue streams include subscription fees, transaction commissions, and interest from BNPL and loans. Despite its rapid growth, Revolut faces regulatory challenges, including anti-money laundering concerns and the evolving regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency. The company aims to redefine digital finance by integrating all financial activities into a single app, challenging the role of traditional banks.
