British fintech Revolut is hitting a new gear, posting record profits just as it prepares to take on the U.S. market.
The company reported a 57% jump in pretax profit to £1.7 billion ($2.3 billion) for 2025, up from £1.09 billion the year before. Revenue surged 46% to $6 billion, driven in part by strong momentum in its business banking arm, which now accounts for 16% of total income.
The milestone comes weeks after Revolut secured its long-awaited full UK banking licence, clearing a major regulatory hurdle and setting the stage for global expansion. With a $75 billion valuation, the firm now ranks among Europe’s most valuable private tech companies.
CEO Nik Storonsky framed the results as a turning point: Revolut, he said, is no longer just scaling fast, it’s scaling profitably.
After a decade of rapid growth, the company is positioning itself as a full-fledged global bank, and with its U.S. push ahead, this next phase could be its most ambitious yet.
