Revolut's founder, Nik Storonsky, has outlined an ambitious vision for the company, stating that it aims to evolve beyond online banking and become a global technology giant comparable to Google or Meta. Speaking at the Wave by Vento conference in Turin on Friday, Storonsky said that for the company's 20th anniversary in 2034, "our American dream, or rather European in this case, would be to build a global technology company similar to Meta, Google, and possibly OpenAI, but from Europe." The British company intends to expand "not only in banking, but also in other technological services and services without human intervention, while also developing other products. Not necessarily with a purely financial axis, but related to the financial sector," he explained during a conversation with John Elkann, president of Stellantis, Ferrari, and the Italian fund Vento. "The goal is not to compete with these companies but to reach a scale similar to that of major American technology players. This means we have a lot of work ahead of us in the coming years to support our customers and continue to grow," the Revolut CEO emphasized. Revolut currently has 80 million customers in 100 countries and is particularly focusing on artificial intelligence to provide personalized financial advice as well as product recommendations and comparisons. Third-party developed AI agents will also be able to connect to the platform and interact with its systems and data, with the explicit consent of customers, according to Storonsky. The rise of AI has also transformed his vision of management. "Before, I built systems around people, their strengths and weaknesses. Today, I am trying to understand how to build systems around AI rather than around people," he said. This shift highlights the growing influence of AI in shaping the future of financial services and technology. Revolut is considering an initial public offering (IPO) within the next two years, potentially with a dual listing in London and New York. The bank obtained a full license in the United Kingdom in March 2026, a key step for its development in its largest market, after several years of waiting. At the beginning of September, the neobank also received conditional authorization in the United States. It has also received banking licenses for France and Australia, and just submitted an application in Switzerland. The group has more than 80 million customers in 40 countries and aims for 100 million customers in 100 countries. This expansion underscores Revolut's ambition to become a major global player in the financial technology sector.
