Revolut è un gruppo bancario fintech che sta cercando di ottenere licenze bancarie in diversi paesi per espandere i propri servizi finanziari a livello globale.
Primo via libera a Revolut per la licenza bancaria negli Stati Uniti. Come annuncia una nota, il gruppo bancario fintech ha ricevuto l'approvazione condizionata da parte dell'Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
"L'azienda sta completando le restanti richieste e approvazioni con la Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) e la Federal Reserve (Fed), e sta lavorando per ottenere l'approvazione finale dell'OCC, procedendo così verso il lancio della banca proposta previsto per il 2027".
Come sottolinea il fondatore e Ceo di Revolut, Nik Storonsky, si tratta di "un importante primo passo verso la costituzione della nostra banca proposta negli Stati Uniti, Revolut Bank US. Ci fornisce le basi per espanderci nel più grande mercato finanziario al mondo e portare l'esperienza Revolut completa a milioni di statunitensi".
Il lancio della banca proposta negli Stati Uniti seguirà la linea di espansione di Revolut nel continente americano dove ha avviato operazioni in tutta l'America Latina. Revolut ha recentemente lanciato la sua banca in Messico e ha portato avanti attività di adeguamento normativo in Brasile, Colombia, Perù e Argentina.
Al di là del continente americano, Revolut nel 2026 ha ottenuto licenze bancarie in Francia, Australia e nel Regno Unito, una licenza per i pagamenti negli Emirati Arabi Uniti e portato avanti una richiesta di licenza bancaria in Sudafrica.
L'azienda punta a 100 milioni di clienti entro la metà del 2027.
