Revolut is fully prepared to locally launch in India within the coming months as a cornerstone of its global strategy to reach 100 million customers by mid-2027. India stands as Revolut’s largest talent hub, with over 35,000 employees and an upfront investment of $45 million. CEO Paroma Chatterjee explained that Revolut has invested heavily to localize its entire technology stack specifically for Indian consumers’ unique banking needs. Collaborating closely with the Reserve Bank of India, the company has secured crucial licenses for both foreign exchange (forex) and domestic UPI transactions, offering a seamless one-stop platform integrating international and domestic payments. With over 350,000 Indians already on a waitlist without major marketing efforts, Revolut will introduce the first prepaid cards loaded with diverse benefits that cater to tens of millions beyond traditional credit card users. This localized app promises to transform how Indians handle money by combining forex and domestic payment capabilities in a single platform. At its new London headquarters launch, Revolut reported surpassing 65 million customers globally and detailed plans to expand into over 30 markets—including India—by 2030. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves highlighted the UK’s commitment to easing talent attraction and visa routes, contrasting recent US visa restrictions, to support firms like Revolut in their global growth ambitions. This launch sets the stage for Revolut to become a leading fintech player in India’s competitive landscape through hyper-localization, regulatory compliance, and product innovation.
