Revolut has unveiled its new global headquarters in Canary Wharf alongside a pledge to invest £3 billion in the UK over the next five years.
The move comes as the FinTech giant solidifies its commitment to its home market as it looks to scale internationally, with CEO and co-founder Nik Storonsky hailing London as “the launchpad for our future”.
It is set to create 1,000 new jobs in the country and the business says it reinforces its ambitions to become the world’s leading financial services provider.
The UK investment is part of a wider £10bn global investment plan, which will see 10,000 jobs created worldwide and significant resources allocated to established hubs in France (£880 million) and the US (£375m).
Funding will also accelerate launches across Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.
“Our mission has always been to simplify money for our customers, and our vision to become the world’s first truly global bank is the ultimate expression of that,” said Storonsky.
“From our roots here in the UK, we’ve grown to serve over 65m customers globally and today’s opening of our new Global HQ in London is the launchpad for our future.
“This HQ will be central to driving our growth towards our next milestone of 100m customers.”
The company, which was reported to have a valuation of $75bn at the start of September, already has 12m UK users and is targeting 100m customers by mid-2027, alongside entry into more than 30 new markets by 2030.
As part of its growth blueprint, the company is doubling down on international expansion, product innovation, Revolut Business and strategic partnerships.
Plans include a bank launch in Mexico next year, entry into India following a payments licence win and its first push into Africa via South Africa.
The firm also confirmed its business arm recently hit £1bn in annualised revenue, while CTO Vlad Yatsenko and product chief Tara Massoudi outlined deeper moves into AI and private banking.
