Revolut's Revenue Soars to £3.1B in 2024 Amid Crypto Boom, Sets Sights on Global Expansion
  • Despite its successes, the company has no immediate plans for an IPO, choosing instead to concentrate on growth and global expansion.

  • This impressive growth was largely fueled by a dramatic rise in crypto trading activity, with the wealth division's revenues skyrocketing by 298% to $647 million.

  • Overall, the company's revenues grew by 72% year-on-year, reaching $4 billion, driven by increases across all key business segments.

  • Revolut's revenue surged to £3.1 billion in 2024, a significant increase from £1.8 billion in 2023, as the company welcomed nearly 15 million new users, bringing its total customer base to over 50 million.

  • Looking ahead, Revolut plans to launch its UK bank later in 2025, expand into Mexico, and enter the Indian market, aiming for a target of 100 million daily active users across 100 countries.

  • While there has been speculation about a potential public listing, Revolut has not provided updates and remains focused on business expansion and product development.

  • Revolut has become the most downloaded finance app in Europe, ranking first in 19 countries and in the top three in 26 countries, supported by a workforce of over 10,000 employees.

  • The company obtained a UK banking license in July 2024 after a lengthy regulatory process, enabling it to expand its lending services, including credit cards and buy-now-pay-later products.

  • Despite its rapid growth, Revolut faces challenges in converting app users into primary banking customers, which is essential for increasing deposit volumes necessary for future lending operations.

  • The fintech's loan book expanded by 86%, reaching £979 million, contributing to a 58% increase in interest income, totaling £790 million.

  • Deposit balances for both retail and business accounts more than doubled during this period, indicating strong customer engagement.

  • The surge in cryptocurrency prices, particularly Bitcoin, which rose over 120% in 2024, has positively impacted Revolut's performance and revenue.
