Why It Matters
Revolut is expanding its presence in Western Europe and plans a new headquarters in Paris, scheduled to open in 2027.
Paris. Revolut boss Nik Storonsky welcomes the Handelsblatt reporters at a construction site. Ventilation pipes and cables are exposed on the ceiling, and there is assembly scaffolding in the hallway. The floor is covered with building protection panels. There is still a lot to do at the British digital bank's new Western European headquarters in Paris before it opens in 2027.
The office is located between the Stock Exchange district, the historic center of the French financial world, and the Sentier district, home to many technology companies and start-ups. The new location is therefore also a statement - and a sign of the global expansion drive of Europe's most valuable fintech.
Storonsky sits on a couch on the second floor in a strict black suit with a red tie. Anyone who meets him for the first time is surprised by his casual handshake, his quiet voice and his almost shy demeanor. But during the conversation it quickly becomes clear that the 42-year-old does not lack self-confidence. Storonsky has big plans, especially in Germany.
