London, United Kingdom, 23rd September 2025: Revolut, the global fintech leader, has today pledged £3bn ($4bn) of investment in the UK and the creation of 1,000 new jobs, as it opens its new global headquarters in Canary Wharf’s iconic YY London building.
The strategic move reinforces the company’s UK roots and reflects strong market confidence. Revolut will continue to drive innovation, product development and long-term growth from the capital.
This UK investment is the cornerstone of a wider five-year global plan to invest £10bn ($13bn) and create 10,000 jobs globally, cementing Revolut’s position as a financial leader. Today, it has surpassed 65 million customers worldwide, with 12 million of those in the UK. The company has also set out its ambitious growth targets, aiming to serve 100 million customers by mid 2027 and operate in more than 30 new markets by 2030.
Nik Storonsky, CEO & Co-founder of Revolut, commented: “Our mission has always been to simplify money for our customers, and our vision to become the world’s first truly global bank is the ultimate expression of that. From our roots here in the UK, we’ve grown to serve over 65 million customers globally, and today’s opening of our new Global HQ in London is the launchpad for our future. This HQ will be central to driving our growth towards our next milestone of 100 million customers.
“To power that journey from our home market, we are investing £3 billion in the UK over the next five years. This commitment will not only create 1,000 new jobs but will also fuel the innovation from our London hub that will help us deliver on our global ambitions.”
