Revolut plans dual US and UK listing, targeting $200 billion valuation

Revolut, the London-based neobank, is considering a dual stock market listing in New York and London, with co-founder and CEO Nik Storonsky revealing the plans in an interview with Les Echos. The company is targeting a valuation of up to $200 billion for its IPO, expected no earlier than 2028. Storonsky expressed a preference for the US market due to its larger investor pool, but aims to maintain a presence in London. This move follows similar actions by Wise, which moved its primary listing to New York. Revolut was last valued at $75 billion in a funding round, so the target valuation would require nearly tripling its value. The company's US expansion, including conditional approval for a US banking license, is seen as a key factor for the IPO's success. Revolut plans to invest around €2.3 billion annually in growth through 2030.

Revolut Wins US Bank Charter, Wise Rejected

The OCC granted Revolut a conditional US bank charter, while rejecting Wise's application earlier in July. This regulatory divergence signals a shift in how US authorities are assessing foreign fintechs. Revolut, with 80 million users, a proprietary AI model trained on 40 billion banking events, and $2.3 billion in pretax profit, gains a federal on-ramp into American banking. The approval is seen as a strategic advantage, particularly through its PRAGMA credit-risk model, which no US neobank can replicate or acquire. This event potentially marks the decline of the sponsor-bank model for major fintechs, as larger players may now pursue their own charters. The article also discusses Anthropic's move to build in-house payments infrastructure, citing its rapid revenue growth from $9B to $65B annualized in seven months, making off-the-shelf billing inadequate.
