Revolut is looking to strengthen its foothold in France. As part of the Choose France summit, organized this Monday in Versailles by the French Presidency, the British fintech is set to make a new investment in the country. According to our information, Revolut will inject an additional €100 million into France by 2030, on top of the more than €1 billion investment package announced during the previous edition of Choose France.
Last year, the digital bank notably revealed its intention to invest heavily in France in order to secure the additional capital required to obtain a French banking license. According to our information, this process is progressing well. This new investment is expected to create 200 additional jobs, primarily in the areas of financial crime prevention and business development. These hires will bring Revolut’s French workforce to 650 employees.
For the British fintech, France has now become its largest European market, with more than 7 million customers. Revolut even hopes to surpass the milestone of 10 million customers in France as early as this year. This ambition reflects the growing importance of the French market within the group’s international strategy.
Paris Becomes Revolut’s New European Center of Gravity
This growing presence will also be reflected in the upcoming opening of its new Paris headquarters. Revolut is set to move next year into a 2,400-square-meter office located on Rue Réaumur in Paris’s 2nd arrondissement, at the heart of the city’s “Silicon Sentier” technology district. This office is intended to become the company’s central hub for Western Europe.
From Paris, Revolut will oversee operations in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Ireland, and Portugal, representing a customer base of more than 25 million people.
“With more than 25 million customers, Western Europe is now Revolut’s largest region and also its fastest-growing one, while still offering significant untapped potential. France is at the heart of this positive momentum, which is why we chose Paris as the location for our regional headquarters,” Antoine Le Nel, Revolut’s Chief Growth and Marketing Officer, said a few weeks ago.
Before securing this headquarters in the heart of Paris, Revolut had already begun structuring its French operations. The British bank notably appointed Frédéric Oudéa, former Chief Executive Officer of Société Générale, as Chairman for Western Europe. He works alongside Béatrice Cossa-Dumurgier, who previously held positions at BNP Paribas and served on Société Générale’s Board of Directors, and who was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Western Europe division last year.
A Global Goal of 100 Million Customers
For Revolut, led by Nikolay Storonsky, all indicators appear to be pointing in the right direction. The British bank is benefiting from strong commercial momentum, while one of its main European competitors, N26, experienced significant leadership changes last year with the departure of its long-standing chief executive from day-to-day management.
Financially, Revolut surpassed €5 billion in revenue in 2025, compared with €3.7 billion in 2024. The company is now valued at $75 billion.
On a global scale, the British bank is now aiming to reach the symbolic milestone of 100 million customers within the next few years.
