Revolut, the London-based digital banking powerhouse, has successfully executed a secondary share sale, elevating its valuation to an impressive $75 billion. This notable increase marks a 67% rise from its previous valuation of $45 billion announced in August 2024.
This secondary share sale, aimed at providing liquidity to employees, underscores Revolut’s growing prominence in the fintech sector. Investors have responded positively, with a diverse group of leading venture capital firms backing this latest financial maneuver.
Key contributors to this funding round include top firms such as Coatue, Holm oaks, Dragon tree, and Fidelity Management & Research Co.. The round further included participation from NVentures, Nvidia, the venture capital division of Andreessen Horowitz, and Franklin Templeton.
As part of this transaction, current employees were granted the option to sell shares, although Revolut did not disclose the exact amount raised during the secondary share sale.
Sinc e its inception in 2015, Revolut has witnessed remarkable growth. By 2024, the banking app recorded a staggering 72% increase in revenues, reaching $4 billion, and a 149% rise in pre-tax profit to $1.4 billion. By the following year, the company had achieved annualized revenue of $1 billion and expanded its customer base to over 65 million users across 100 countries.
According to Revolut’s CFO, Victor Stinga, “The level of investor interest and our new valuation reflect the strength of our business model, which generates both rapid growth and strong profitability.” This assertion highlights Revolut’s commitment to maintaining both growth and financial stability as it continues to scale.
Future Plans for Expansion

Fintech Sector Thrives in 2025
Revolut’s success is reflective of a broader trend within the fintech industry. Last week, New York-based expense management startup Ramp raised $300 million in its fourth funding round of 2025, reaching a valuation of $32 billion. This illustrates a robust investor confidence in fintech innovation.
According to Crunchbase data, global venture capital funding for fintech startups reached $48.5 billion across 3,377 deals as of November 24, 2025. This represents a substantial 32.9% increase compared to the $36.5 billion raised during the same period in 2024, despite a decline in the number of deals. The trend indicates that companies are securing larger funding rounds than in previous years.
