Revolut, the London-based FinTech heavyweight, has secured a staggering €65 billion ($75 billion) valuation following a high-profile secondary share sale that welcomed notable investors into its cap table for the first time – strengthening the startup’s status as Europe’s most valuable private tech firm.
Investors included Andreessen Horowitz, Franklin Templeton, and NVentures – NVIDIA’s venture capital arm.
In a public statement, Nik Storonsky, CEO and co-founder, commented: “This milestone reflects the remarkable progress we have made in the last twelve months towards our vision of building the first truly global bank, serving 100 million customers across 100 countries. I’d like to thank our team for their determination and energy, and for believing that it is possible to build a global financial and technology leader from Europe.”
In 2025, European FinTech activity reported by EU-Startups has included several relevant rounds: Zilch in the UK secured €150 million to accelerate its growth across the UK and EMEA; France’s Finary raised €25 million in Series B funding to expand its AI-driven wealth-tech offering; Ireland-based Teybridge Capital Europe secured an initial €50 million line to grow its SME finance platform; Flowpay, operating between the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, raised €30 million in debt financing to scale embedded SME lending; and UK-based Due extended its seed round by €6.3 million to launch a stablecoin API for cross-border payments.
Together, these rounds amount to roughly €261.3 million and illustrate ongoing activity across WealthTech, SME finance and payments infrastructure.
Against this backdrop, Revolut’s new €65 billion secondary-market valuation sits far above the scale of typical 2025 sector funding. The UK appears prominently, with both Zilch and Due also raising this year, indicating a steady flow of FinTech investment within the same national market.
EU-Startups has followed Revolut’s trajectory for years, beginning with our 2017 article on the company applying for a European banking licence and developing its own payment-processor in-house. In 2018, we covered the launch of Revolut’s “Vaults” savings feature and the €5.7 million saved by users in its early months. A 2019 article highlighted Revolut’s expansion into Asia through its Singapore launch, while a 2020 comparison of challenger banks discussed its Series D round and valuation trajectory.
In 2025, coverage expanded to Revolut’s planned €1 billion investment in France and its dual-HQ model, a podcast interview with its Head of Sales on scaling and AI, and its acquisition of Berlin-based TravelTech startup Swifty to enhance AI-driven lifestyle services.
Victor Stinga, CFO of Revolut, noted: “The level of investor interest and our new valuation reflect the strength of our business model, which is delivering both rapid growth and strong profitability. We welcome onboard a series of world-class investors and look forward to working with them for the next stage in Revolut’s evolution.”
Founded in 2015 in London by Nik Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko, Revolut has grown from a prepaid card provider into a financial services super-app offering banking, trading, insurance, and crypto features.
The startup’s recent achievements include its final banking authorisation in Mexico ahead of its launch, and a newly obtained banking incorporation licence in Colombia. A launch in India is also on the horizon, with the company actively pursuing its goal to become the “world’s first truly global bank“.
The share sale marks a pivotal moment in Revolut’s evolution, cementing its global aspirations with support from a deep bench of US blue-chip investors.
As part of the deal, existing employees were offered the opportunity to cash out up to 20% of their holdings. This marks the fifth employee liquidity event for Revolut.
In parallel with the share sale, Revolut released strong financial results for 2024, reporting revenues of €3.4 billion ($4 billion), a 72% increase YoY, and pre-tax profits of €1.2 billion ($1.4 billion) – a 149% surge.
Its customer base now surpasses 65 million worldwide, and its business banking division achieving €867 million ($1 billion) in annualised revenue.
The company’s leap from its previously reported €39 billion ($45 billion) valuation last year represents a significant 67% increase and positions it among the top ten most valuable private companies globally.
The addition of NVIDIA-backed NVentures also points to an increased focus on artificial intelligence, with Revolut highlighting this partnership as part of a broader technology collaboration.
Looking ahead, Revolut is not shy about its ambition.
According to Storonsky, the company plans to reach 100 million customers and operate across 100 countries by 2030, with 30 new markets in the pipeline. As it continues its expansion, the financial technology giant is reinforcing its European roots while scaling for a truly global future.
