Revolut's revenue diversification unveiled in Financial Year 2023 findings
Revolut Reports Strong Financial Performance in FY 2023 and 2024
Revolut, the digital banking platform, has published its FY 2023 results, showcasing a company that is increasingly seeing strong performance. The results indicate a continued growth trajectory for the company, with revenue surging from approximately £1.8 billion ($2.2 billion USD) in 2023 to £3.1 billion ($4.0 billion USD) in 2024.
The company's revenue is diversified across multiple areas including wealth management, card payments, and subscriptions. All key business segments showed robust growth in 2024, with wealth management seeing particularly remarkable growth, card payments remaining strong, and subscription income increasing significantly.
The primary growth in 2024 came from significant increases in customer base, surging customer balances, and transaction volumes. The customer base grew by 38% in 2024 to 52.5 million users, while customer balances increased by 66% to £30.2 billion. Transaction volumes also saw a 52% increase, approaching £1 trillion in 2024.
This growth was driven broadly by higher customer engagement and usage of Revolut's diversified financial services, including new products like the standalone crypto trading platform (Revolut X) and a redesigned Revolut Business app.
The company’s profit before tax rose by 149% from £438 million in 2023 to over £1 billion in 2024. Net profit margin improved as well, highlighting improved financial efficiency alongside strong revenue growth across diversified streams.
Revolut is seeking a $40bn valuation in a share sale, up from a $33bn valuation in 2021. However, an IPO is at least a year away, and the company will "keep an open mind" about whether to list in London or not.
