@james_ailton Could be that Revolut is going for larger markets and corridor markets now, and obtaining licences in some countries could be a challenge.

Been thinking of visiting CV myself for a while, one day I will.

Revolut plans to launch in South Africa🇿🇦 in 2028, with already 100,000 people on the waitlist.

It will offer a full suite of products tailored for the local market, including a zero-fee account.

The company is actively hiring in SA and building a near-complete product suite from day one.“We are already seeing exceptional demand… our waitlist is fast approaching 100,000 registrations,” said Revolut SA CEO Jacques Meyer.

Revolut submitted its banking licence application in September 2025 and appointed Dr Gaby Magomola as board chair in November.

@apnmrev @Revolut Let me guess, another stablecoin "neobank" with no KYC cards?

[Max Karpis @maxkarpis]

@moneymm888 It's not by choice it's compliance. Most people are ok. Pleaple with questionable transactions get checked.

[Max Karpis @maxkarpis]

@gurenyov Rival, in some sense, but no. I am sure Rev is not loosing any sleep over it.

Looks like they struggling to secure Mexican bank licence.

[Max Karpis @maxkarpis]

@nyeeu That would be amazing

[Max Karpis @maxkarpis]

@SimplyBitcoin Bitcoin is a hope. We all need hope.

[Max Karpis @maxkarpis]

@linasbeliunas I wish I did.

Licence and compliance is a moat.

[Revolut @Revolut]

From 1 July, strict MiCA regulations mean unlicensed crypto platforms can no longer serve EU customers.

Revolut is MiCA-authorised and used by 15 million customers worldwide.

If you invest in crypto, make sure to switch to a trusted partner before the deadline.

“We aren’t interested in chasing customer acquisition numbers for the sake of a headline; instead, our focus is on delivering a majorly disruptive experience that fundamentally upgrades how people manage their money,” Meyer said. - Bloomberg
