Revolut closed its fourth profitable year in 2024 with net profit more than doubling to USD 1 billion and a net margin of 26%. Total revenues grew 72% to $4 billion, driven by both the expansion of the customer base to 52.5 million globally and increased product utilisation. Pre-tax profit jumped 149% to 1.4 billion.

The growth of the UK digital bank, which is expanding its offering to become a full-service bank, continued across all business areas. In particular, the Wealth division, which includes the stock trading business, grew 298% to $647 million, while subscription revenues jumped 74% to $541 million. At the same time, the loan portfolio rose by 86% to 1.2 billion, while total transaction volume increased by 52% to 1.3 trillion.

With a 38% growth in the customer base, total balances increased by almost double, up 66% to USD 38 billion, driven mainly by strong growth in deposits and increased balances in savings products. The figure seems to confirm a greater customer engagement, confirming the success of the strategy to become the first bank for its customers.

The Business offer recorded a 56% increase in the number of active companies each month, contributing to a turnover of EUR 592 million, or about 15% of the total turnover

of the group.

"2024 was a pivotal year for Revolut," commented CEO and founder Nik Storonsky. "Not only did we accelerate customer growth, welcoming almost 15 million new users globally, but, crucially, we also saw increased customer engagement through the adoption of a wider range of our services, both

in our retail offering than in Revolut Business. This powerful combination has directly fuelled our record growth and our operating model based on the

technology has translated it into record profitability'.

The goal for 2025 is to continue growth towards the goal of one hundred million customers in one hundred countries with the expansion of growth through ten global licences, the consolidation of the recent entry into Brazil and the launch in India, two markets with great potential.

But the biggest challenge for Revolut is completing the journey to becoming a fully operational bank in the UK, after obtaining its banking licence last summer. In July 2024, the UK's Prudential Regulation Authority granted a restricted banking licence, ending a lengthy and contentious process that began in 2021. Revolut is now in the phase where it is focusing on developing its operations and infrastructure in preparation for a full launch. The period typically lasts about twelve months.

Only when this phase is over will the bank be able to start offering loans, overdrafts and mortgages, paving the way for new sources of income, competing with rivals of the calibre of Monzo and Starling that have been operating for oto and nine years.

Growth also involved Italy, where Revolut became a fully-fledged Italian bank with an Italian Iban at the end of 2024. Customers grew by 1.2 million to three million by the beginning of 2025, with a target of four million by the end of the year. Balances grew by 80 per cent, subscriptions by 82 per cent and joint accounts by 219 per cent, demonstrating a shift to Revolut as a shared finance solution between copies and families. Italians are the fastest in the European Economic Area in the adoption of trading products, which jumped 264%. After the introduction of personal loans, national Iban, no-tie deposit accounts and Revolut Pos for companies, the neobank is preparing to launch credit cards and the Business division in our country to serve Italian SMEs.
