Revolut Going Big in the US: FDIC-Insured Accounts & Crypto Trading Coming Next Year!
Fintech giant Revolut is officially making its move on the US banking system. Newly appointed US CEO Cetin Duransoy revealed that the British fintech plans to launch US banking operations next year, having already submitted its application for a US national bank charter.
Here is the quick breakdown of what’s coming:
🏦 Full-Fledged Banking: Headquartered in Stamford, CT, Revolut will offer FDIC-insured high-yield investment and checking accounts. It will be 100% digital with ATM network access but no physical branches.
💼 Cross-Border Focus: The initial target? Retail and business users with international banking needs. The app supports 30+ currencies (including USD, INR, and Latin American currencies).
📈 Crypto & Stocks: US users will get seamless access to stablecoins, multi-currency deposits, and trading services for both stocks and cryptocurrencies.
💰 Financial Powerhouse: Revolut already has 75 million global users (1 million in the US). It recently pulled in $6 billion in revenue ($1.75 billion net profit) and sits at a massive $75 billion valuation.
Note: For those waiting for an IPO, CEO Nik Storonsky stated they don't plan to list shares before 2028.
