About the fintech Revolut
Revolut is a financial technology giant founded by Nikolay Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko. The fintech company offers myriad services via its mobile app, peer-to-peer payments, a prepaid debit card, and now, a cryptocurrency exchange.
With more than 16 million customers and operations in over 35 countries, the company has literally been an internationally recognized financial super app. The super app boasts of over 100 million transactions month-on-month in the form of multiple services that it offers.
Revolut aims at being the one app customers want to use for everything related to their finances; everything from daily expenses to savings to investments in multiple channels. It also wants its customers to generate more wealth from their existing personal wealth.
Its mobile app allows customers to make ATM withdrawals in about 120 currencies. Cryptocurrencies, like Litecoin, Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Bitcoin Cash, can be exchanged on the app against 25 fiat currencies. Previously, customers weren’t allowed to take the cryptocurrency out of the super app. The company has now made changes to it, leaving customers with the choice of either keeping their coins on the app or to moving them to another wallet.
Revolut’s US Chief Executive Officer, Ronald Oliveira has reportedly left the digital banking service, according to The Block. Oliveira informed Revolut staff of his departure from the company last month.
He will be leaving his current position at Revolut within the next few months. It is unclear where he’ll be heading next. Oliveira was appointed to the role of US Chief Executive Officer back in March 2020, before the launch of its American operations, just before the world went into lockdown.
