Revolut Bets Big on Global Expansion
Revolut has unveiled an ambitious growth strategy as it inaugurated its new global headquarters in London on Tuesday. The British fintech plans to pour 11.5 billion euros into expansion over the next five years, aiming to reach 100 million customers worldwide. Asia is a major pillar of the firm’s growth strategy
Of the total investment, 3.4 billion euros is earmarked for the UK and 1 billion euros for France. Revolut expects to create 10,000 new jobs globally as part of this push.
With a new Western Europe hub in Paris – as previously reported by finews.asia – and upcoming branches in Portugal and Belgium, Revolut is cementing its European footprint.
Ambitions in Asia-Pacific
Asia is also a major pillar of Revolut’s growth strategy. In Singapore, the firm is expanding wealth and multi-currency services, positioning the city-state as a launchpad for Southeast Asia. It has also chosen Manila in the Philippines as the site of a new technology hub to support engineering and compliance functions.
Having secured a payments license in April 2025, Revolut is preparing to launch in India. The company has also established a new global tech hub in the Philippines, a strategic move to support its international operations across time zones, and is also in the process of obtaining further licenses in Australia and New Zealand.
China is under evaluation, with the company scoping licensing and hiring options despite stiff competition from entrenched players like Alipay and WeChat Pay.
Formula 1 Marketing
Elsewhere in the region, Revolut is pursuing additional licenses in Australia and New Zealand, aiming to build a fully regional footprint across APAC.
Revolut is also boosting its visibility beyond banking. A recently announced partnership with the upcoming Audi Formula 1 team will include co-branded limited-edition cards.
