Revolut IPO - 15 million users!26 Jun 2024 12:11
Revolut (estimated market cap: $33 billion)
Revolut, the app-based bank headquartered in the UK with more than 15 million registered users, was founded in 2015 and has been a regulated electronic money institution since 2016.
Rumours of a Revolut IPO have been circulating since 2022 when the company first expressed interest in a public listing. Difficult market conditions caused by many factors including the Russo-Ukrainian War, high inflation, and high interest rates have forced to company to delay any plans of an IPO.
Given that its primary market is the UK, until recently a listing on the LSE seemed the most likely. Earlier this year, however, co-founders Nikolay Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko announced that they’d now look to launch in New York because of their inability to attain a UK banking licence.
There’s currently no set date for an IPO but it’s likely to occur in the next year or so, when market conditions improve.
