London-headquartered fintech neobank Revolut transitions to a fully licensed bank in the United Kingdom following the removal of restrictions by the Prudential Regulation Authority.

Revolut Bank UK Ltd announced on March 11, 2026, that the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has authorized its exit from the mobilization phase. This allows the firm to launch full banking services for its 13 million UK customers, transitioning from a digital payment electronic money institution to a formal bank. The rollout will begin gradually for new customers in the coming weeks, while existing users will be migrated over several months.

The transition enables Revolut to offer deposit accounts protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and prepares the ground for future lending products. This launch follows a commitment to invest $4 billion (£3 billion) and create 1,000 high-skilled jobs within the UK jurisdiction. “Launching our UK bank has been a long-term strategic priority for Revolut, and marks a significant moment in our journey,” says Nik Storonsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Revolut.
